TSN showed their Top Ten NFL plays from 2007. Two of them were Cleveland Browns plays. Josh Cribbs’ disaster-to-master return TD, and the one where the New York Jets forgot how to tackle Jamal Lewis.

The concussion suffered by Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson during Monday night's loss to the New York Giants is said to be mild, but Anderson probably will miss at least a preseason game or two. Brady Quinn takes over as the starter for now. Kick returner Josh Cribbs reportedly has a high ankle sprain. He probably will miss the remainder of the preseason and his availability for the regular...

Filed under: Browns , AFC North I can fully understand why players decide they want to re-negotiate their contracts just two or three years after signing a new deal (the market changes, their value increases, etc.). And while I usually side with players on matters of money, I'm having a hard time getting behind Josh Cribbs ' recent demand. The Browns signed him to a six-year deal in Nov., 2006. Apparently,...

I had a feeling that the whole Devin Hester sideshow would somehow come back to haunt us. First, it was the Buffalo Bills that extended their return man, Roscoe Parrish, during the end of last season to the tune of three years, $12.3 million. Then Hester got a new deal thrown his way, but one [...] ShareThis

Kellen Winslow sat out team drills with a pulled hamstring, and Josh Cribbs also was limited with a pulled hamstring and played sparingly. But injuries gave receiver Travis Wilson a chance to step up, and he did so by hauling in a TD catch from Anderson over rookie Gerard Lawson in team drills after first [...]

Now that the NBA Draft is in the rear view mirror and the free agent frenzy continues to unfold, the summer league is just getting underway. Typically a common ground for false hopes and overachieving, the summer league allows fans and scouts alike to (hopefully) find that Josh Cribbs like player; but obviously a basketball [...]

While a lot of the words out of OTAs have focused on the Kellen Winslow absence, or the pending (hopeful) return of LeCharles Bentley, the Plain Dealer has some news that should get even the most fair-weather Browns fans smile. Nope, not $1 beer night. How about Josh Cribbs on offense. “We’re putting in a nice package just to utilize [...]

Filed under: Browns , AFC North Josh Cribbs should write the team press releases. Here's his response to a question about tight end Kellen Winslow 's absence from the Browns' voluntary workouts: "It's not a big deal," Josh Cribbs said. "If he was here, he'd be hurt... It's not a question of his character because he plays like a soldier. When he gets here, he's going to work his butt off." That's rich....

Filed under: Browns , AFC North When the AFC Pro Bowl roster was announced, some Browns fans thought the team should have more than two representatives. Wide receiver Braylon Edwards and return specialist Josh Cribbs were deserving of the honor, but many felt that so too were Derek Anderson and Kellen Winslow . Well, thanks to a tenacious Giants defense that harassed Tom Brady all Super Bowl, including...

Browns WR Josh Cribbs had three catches for 37 yards in 2007, but his main responsibility was on special teams. Cribbs averaged 13.5-yards on 30 punt returns and 30.7-yards on 59 kickoff returns with three total touchdowns. He also had nine carries for 61 yards.

Remember that whole “MAC cradle of quarterbacks” rage a few years ago? Just to update: Byron Leftwich, Chad Pennington, Charlie Frye, and Bruce Gradkowski are no longer starters in the NFL. Josh Harris and Omar Jacobs were implosive busts. Which really leaves Ben Roethlisberger and Josh Betts as active quarterbacks with Super Bowl rings. (Betts [...]

Braylon Edwards (#17) and Josh Cribbs (#16) were both selected to the Pro Bowl this afternoon. They're so outstanding they don't even need the rest of the regular season to prove that they're the best at their respective positions. After hearing the announcement punter Dave Zastudil (#15) was seen walking around Berea wondering why he didn't [...]

The Browns get some love on Pete Prisco's Pro-Bowl team at CBS Sportsline. Kellen Winslow, Braylon Edwards and Eric Steinbach make his team as reserves, and special teamer Josh Cribbs and fullback Lawrence Vickers (who knew?) are AFC starters in...

Filed under: Browns , Cleveland Say what you will about Devin Hester, but Josh Cribbs of the Cleveland Browns is, for my money, the best special teams player in the league. Hester is the more spectacular return man, but Cribbs is more consistent, and Cribbs does something else that Hester doesn't do: Tackle the other team's return man. In fact, Cribbs leads the Browns in special teams tackles this...

Is it me or does anyone else feel that if we didn't have Josh Cribbs the Browns would not be a 6-4 football team. Cribbs had 306 return yards on Sunday against Baltimore and is averaging 147 yards per game this season. This guy is an amazing player and should be recognized this year with a [...]
