Josh Cribbs

It's OK for someone else to get hurt though

November 19, 2009

Josh Cribbs' agent said he was furious that the Browns had Cribbs in the game for the last play against Baltimore.
How's that again?
Cribbs is a football player, and he plays when there are plays called for him.
Besides, if Cribbs is not on the field someone else has to take his place (the Browns only put [...]

The hook-and-lateral that wasn't … or was it?

November 19, 2009

Well  … the players are saying that the Browns coaches did not call the last play in the loss to Baltimore the other night. The one that sent Josh Cribbs to the hospital. They said the call came on the field, with Brady Quinn and Cribbs creating something on the fly.
Always good to know that [...]

First and 10: The worst just keep getting worse

November 17, 2009

1)      I'm thinking that right now the Lions ought to be favored by nine.
2)      Imagine that. The Browns a more-than-deserving near-double digit underdog to a team that has one win since the start of the 2009 season. Say this for the Browns: They've earned it.
3)      For the second game in a row, the Browns opponent [...]

Some comments on the Cribbs injury and Quinn's hit on Suggs

November 17, 2009

From the Ravens, as reported by the AP (tho many were present in the locker room when the statements were made):
Ray Lewis on whether Quinn's hit on Terrell Suggs was a cheap shot: "Heck yeah, it was a cheap shot When you're running down and you're looking at the quarterback going at somebody's knees who [...]

Cribbs hurt on last play of Browns loss; Quinn's cheap shot sidelines Suggs

November 17, 2009

The Browns looked woeful again in losing to Baltimore. Still think the coach deserves another year?
But … the game ended bizarrely, with Josh Cribbs on the ground after having been run into by Dwan Edwards on one of those goofy lateral plays.
This hit did not appear intentional. Edwards was running to get into the play [...]

Interesting take by Josh Cribbs

October 7, 2009

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 [...]

The Browns look awful in Denver

September 20, 2009

I believe this is the moment where I get to say: "Gee, I hate to be negative … but …"
The Browns stunk up the joint in Denver on Sunday. They played a team that many thought they could beat, and they lost by 21. It wasn't even that close. Denver could have had two more [...]

Josh Cribbs is upset with his contract …

May 19, 2009

… and might skip minicamp this week because of that unhappiness. Only in the NFL can a person skipping a voluntary minicamp become news.

The Browns are overrun in Tennessee

December 7, 2008

I was all set to write in tomorrow's Beacon Journal that the Browns lost to Tennesese because they only gave Josh Cribbs the ball seven times at quarterback.
Then I saw the stats. Set aside Cribbs' six runs, and the Browns ran 13 times for 11 yards. The Titans ran for 235 yards. Pitiful. Just pitiful. [...]

First and 10: Why not Cribbs at QB?

December 2, 2008

First and 10
1)      Derek Anderson asked if we were on crack when someone suggested to him that Josh Cribbs play quarterback for the Browns this Sunday in Tennessee. Ahem. For the record, crack has never once been the drug of choice on my kitchen table. And to be quite frank, anyone who followed Kent State [...]
