Josh Cribbs

[RockThatBlue]

I know a lot of us were confused about if he's still on the team but he was in the workouts. So apparently he is still with us.

Though I feel we could do better than him, but that's my opinion. Unless he learns to do a fair catch.

[cbear]

He could be more disciplined in when he returns a punt or kick, but if he can fix that, he's still the best return man we've had in years.  I hope he stays.

[MTC]

I'm willing to give him another chance. He wasn't as bad as everyone said he was.

I would disagree.  He didn't know when to take a fair catch.  He would return a kick from 7 yards deep in the end zone and end up returning it to the 17 or something.  He was trying too hard to do too much instead of just making the smart, simple play.

Not to mention the fumbles and face mask blunder against NE

Dude stinks

He wasn't better than G.Whalen because Whalen wasn't sexy but he played "safe" but a couple of bad plays(i think the front office told him that he was about to begin replaced so he tried too hard to make plays), i wouldn't mind to take TY Montgomery around the 5th if he still there, he could be a good number 3-5 WR and he is an excellent returner. I think we are gonna make D. Carter or D. Moncrief return the kicks Cribbs isn't gonna make the team.

[MrNLM]

I can see us getting some competition for him in the draft or before training camp.

[funktacious2]

I just felt like Cribbs was a liability. He wanted to make big plays happen that never happened, and instead got swallowed up before the 20 or turned it over. I'll be okay with having him another year if the right guy doesn't come along, but I hope we move on. I'd like to get a guy who can return kicks as well as have a real impact for us outside of special teams. Perhaps a DB or WR?

[crazycolt1]

I guess it wouldn't be too bad to give him a chance through camp and pre season. There was a reason he wasn't on a roster when the Colts signed him and it seems to be self explanatory with his inconsistent play. He is not good enough to run routes so his short stint as a receiver didn't work out. He can look good at times but his mistakes seem to come at the worst times. It is never a good thing to have a turnover on a special teams play. Game killers.

[UKColt13]

He is still a decent return man.

 

All he needs to do is improve his judgement when calling for the fair catch.

[peytonmanning18]

Cribbs has more big play potential but we really only saw that a couple times early after we signed him. I'd rather have Whalen back there because he doesn't make *ic decisions like Cribbs does. What he did in New England killed us. I knew the game was over once that happened. He damn near cost us the game in Denver too but he got lucky on that one.

He's been in the league for 10 years, making bad decisions is what he does. If he hasn't figured it out after ten years then he isn't going to figure it out.

I disagree. That muffed punt in the AFCCG has taught him an invaluable lesson. Sometimes it takes that big of a stage to knock sense into players. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt right now. If it continues, that's another story.

[Valpo2004]

We shouldn't have a return specialist anyways.  Our returner should be our #4 or 5 WR or our #4 or 5 CB or our #2 or 3 FS or SS.  Whomever is most qualified from that lot.

 

Basically a player who also provides depth at the position.  Too many kicks go into the endzone these days to justify having a specialized return man.

Unfortunately, good judgement under duress really can't be taught or learned.  It's an innate trait.

[ProblChld32]

There is some kid out there right now that is either going to be drafted or picked up as an UDFA that is hungry to take a few KO and Punts to the house. Cribbs is expendable especially since we cant throw him in at WR. 

[needanoline63]

Omg!!!! How is he still on the team? Guy couldn't catch a cold

[JlynRN]

Didn't we bring back Deji Karim last season only to have him go out on IR or something?  I still remember this play....

 

[wig]

Why was anyone confused? He was under contract and never cut. Was it just wishful thinking for some?

There was no clear source on whether he signed a 1 or 2 year deal.

Hasn't he been on spotrac and OTC through this year?

I think he was one, but not the other.
