Josh Cribbs, when asked what he'd say to those who say Braylon Edwards was bad for the team: “I disagree. He’s a threat and that’s why teams double covered him every game. That is why teams account for him on the football field. If he wasn’t a good player they wouldn’t put a safety over top, underneath him in coverage. He has played his heart out every time he stepped on the field. I don’t have anything but good things to say about his effort.”
Other players in the locker room did not seem happy with the trade, either.
We shall now see how Mohammed Massaquoi does without Edwards opposite him.

Why is a stiff like Daniel Gibson open? Because James attracts double-teams. Why is somebody like Massaquoi open? Because Edwards attracted double-teams. But now? The only double-teaming involving the Browns is going to be when Mangini and Shaun Rogers fight over the same dessert tray at Hometown Buffet.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Alan, I think it's tragic that Braylon will never know all this love you have for him. Once he leaves The Fair City by the Lake, he'll certainly not read the local blogs and not know that you have been defending him from one end of Ohio.com to the other. You're like a voice in the Great Lakes wilderness, and that is just sad.
Huh? I love Edwards? I'm defending him? Since when? Don't make up stuff. I don't care that Edwards was traded. I care that Edwards, who in the Jets' eyes has the value of a diamond, was traded via one single phone call to that one single team in exchange for a bag of cubic zirconia nipple rings.
Good luck to NY. They just got Plaxico without any hands.
