Colts work out Josh Cribbs

[Dark Superman]

Maybe we are cutting ties with Nicks so Moncrief and Whalen can get more offensive snaps

[Clem-Dog]

Anyone remember when Luck made Cribbs look like a pro-bowl WR in Hawaii?

He definitely upgrades our return game.

[Dark Superman]

Cribbs does seem confident via. Twitter.

Hmm.

[TKnight24]

Very true. If our return blocking can perform well and block for a guy like Cribbs.. Look out. If we did sign him he must have really impressed our coaching staff. He must still have some speed left in that tank of his. I hope.

Demps must've not been impressive cause he has nothing but speed and WS cut him so we'll see with Cribbs

If the guy still has some speed left in the tank this offense certainly fits his mold. I'm sure Pep could find some creative ways to bring him into the offense and utilize him.

Demps from the Jaguars?

[superrep1967]

Who would get cut if we did sign him?

Andrew Luck of'course

[The Lucky Neck Beard]

Who would get cut if we did sign him?

I would bet, now that Landry is back, that it will be Dewey. 

[PrincetonTiger]

I am not sure

[TKnight24]

Demps from the Jaguars?

No, the Demps we brought in a few weeks back

[PrincetonTiger]

Demps from the Jaguars?

The Olympic Sprinter who had been with the Pats and Bucs

[Dark Superman]

Oh the running back. Don't know why I was thinking of the Jaguars safety. My bad bro.

[Dark Superman]

The Olympic Sprinter who had been with the Pats and Bucs

Gotcha.

I seriously doubt that. He is only here for a year, but will add depth to the team. I'm sure there is someone else who isn't playing that can be chopped.

Not sure who it would be but I agree

yea and almost brought the Afc back after shcuab trashed the joint. .

[Dr. Guildo]

Not sure who it would be but I agree

Maybe a guy like Victor Butler who is a linebacker falls victim because he has played in all of 2 games. I'm not even sure who he is to be honest.

He would probably be the most likely candidate

[B~Town]

solid fumbles all most costing us 2-3 games by him self,

Do you even watch football he's been solid he hasn't been a game changer but most PR's have made more mistakes than him he get positive yards every kick . He has been the definition of solid .

[wesd2890]

well hilton can return a kick to mix things up

He did last year a couple times.. its just not wise to put your number 1 receiver on kick dutys.. not worth the risk of injury

[JColts72]

Better then Whalen who has no idea about not to return kickoffs from deep in the end zone to adavce to the 12 or 15.

He is very consistent but will always be on the verge of replacement

I see Griff as a Darwin Barney type

Darwin was/is a very steady defensive minded infielder who was always a prospect away from replacement

Last update I saw (Not on Twitter) stated the following:

Free agent special teamer Josh Cribbs worked out for the Colts on Tuesday.

Now 31, Cribbs hasn't drawn much interest since he was allowed to walk in free agency by the Jets. It doesn't appear as if he's getting a deal in Indy.Nov 11 - 5:46 PM

This seems very different from what I have heard from Twitter

The update I posted was from rotoworld. I don't follow Twitter that much.

[Bravo]

I don't think he is going to get signed by the Colts... Pogano was just quoted on twitter saying the workout was "only routine".

I really wish we would have gave Demps a shot. Atleast if not him, Cribbs.

Nothing wrong with Whalen but our return game is a weak spot in our special teams.

I do not follow Twitter either just this thread and the emneds

I was being sarcastic.

[BOTT]

Also to everyone saying Hilton or Moncrief should do it..... NO!!!!

We can't risk injury with those players. For them to get hurt returning a kick or punt it would hurt the team way to much.

You and your paranoia about injuries.....

If guys like Antonio Brown can return, so can Moncrief.

[Bravo]

Injuries are possible. What happens if Antonio Brown gets hurt? Then Steerlers Nation would prolly throw in the towel! Ha Just trying to be honest!

Also...

I'm just trying to keep this forum from blowing up or crashing! ;) (Which would most likely be the case if Hilton or Moncrief were to get injured on a return)

[csmopar]

Maybe he will be the Pats "Cribbtonite."

I'll show myself the door

And a swing and a miss lol that was good though

[csmopar]

The way this team is cursed with injuries I'd say his paranoia is justified

Well, colts fan cry about more than any other team, I'll give you that.

[Narcosys]

We also led the league in players, starting ones at that, on IR last year too lol.  Nearly every year weve been tops in that category.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Interesting for sure! I like Cribbs I think he would be an upgrade for the kick return job, I like Whalen on punt return and offense!

[Dr. Guildo]

I was advocating early on for Moncrief because I thought it would give him some major experience, but they seem to not want to play him too much as a receiver either. If you won't put him ahead of Nicks at least let him return kicks, Coach Pagano. Then use Whalen as a potential pass catcher on third down.

[Indyboy757]

This seems very different from what I have heard from Twitter

Well what have you heard because I saw what Cribbs said on twitter, I didn't read anything about him hopfully signing with us. All he said was he can't wait to be back in the NFL. Normally we don't let guys get to far away when we are looking to bring them in..No word yet and if we dont hear anything today 9 times out of 10 we wont..

His role will increase as we get closer to the playoffs, but I would be sick if we made him our returner and he did get hurt. I think by the time we get to the post season Moncrief will be ahead of Nicks..

[HarryTheCat]

Cribbs' Wikipedia listing again shows him as a free agent, not a member of the Colts.  Someone with some wishful thinking (Josh -- did you do that?) must have edited that page, hoping that it would turn out to be true.

[crunk-juice]

Whalen is an accident waiting to happen.
