Josh cribbs

I hope he doesn't come back.  We can find someone who contributes to the team and returns kicks.

 

I guy I think would be a great scat back type is Marcus Murphy probably an UDFA from Missouri. He leaves Missouri with 5,112 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns, scored via running (16), receiving (2), kick returning (5) and punt returning (2).

he is the best return guy we have had in a long time. Keep him

He dropped the ball quite a few times last season when receiving it. In my mind he took way too many risks when the reward just wasnt there. I know he every now and then broke out for huge plays during his career from seemingly terrible positions, but the risk / reward just isnt there for me.

I rather have Carter return punts. Cribss signing is another waste of money. He fair cateches when does not have too, does not fair catch when should as about to get hammered, runs the ball out of end zone when should not and so on. Maybe he will start to catch punts instead oof using his visor and face mask.

Don't care he really gets crazy with this no fair catch thing & teams are teeing off on him! In a game were ball security is a premium I would much rather have Wahlen who holds onto the ball & give up the potential explosive play as to the possible turnover and maybe an explosive play, or our returner getting jacked up!

That is the perception about Whalen, but if you'll recall, last year before he was demoted Griff was having his own ball security issues and making his own share of opting not to make a fair catch bad decisions. I recall very vividly complaining that he's supposed to be our "safe" return option, but if he can't even do that, then we ought to get somebody with more home run ability. Cribs brings that, but clearly he has to make some better decisions, no doubt.

It's tough not to pull for Griff Whalen, but I'll be very surpised if he makes the team next year. I suspect his time in the NFL is almost up.

If he'd call for a fair catch every now and again I'd love me some Josh Cribbs. special teams turnovers can be absolutely devasting. I appreciate never wanting to give up, but sometimes you gotta just be smart.

I won't blame him for the Patriots debacle, but that turnover was a huge momentum swing.

Maybe but honestly Cribbs is crazy & a risk! A big one & Whalen IMO is a safer bet, but not on Kick offs.

YUP HUGE and those types of plays can kill you! He did it in the Denver game as well but we lucked out an got a favorable call to keep the ball!!

    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
