Dolphins might have interest in Joshua Cribbs
According to the Dayton Daily News, the Miami Dolphins have reportedly shown interest in trading for special teams standout Josh Cribbs, who has spent each of his first five seasons in Cleveland.
Cribbs is a dynamic return man, both on kick returns and punt returns. He'd bring that much needed dynamic element to Miami's special teams units. He's electricfying with the ball in his hands and is a threat to score every time he touches the football.
Cribbs is a former Pro Bowl special teamer and is having a terrific start to his 2009 season. He's averaging 26.1 yards per kick return (which is 10th in the league among those with at least 5 returns) and 16.3 yards per punt return (which is 4th in the league). He's already taken one punt back for a touchdown this season and has taken 2 of his 16 punt returns for over 40 yards. For his career, he averages 26.3 yards per kick return and 11.7 yards per punt return. Want an impressive stat? Cribbs has gained 40+ yards on 10% of his total career kick returns.
He's also only 26 years old and is very versatile. He's listed as a receiver, though he only has 25 career receptions. But he could also be worked into the 'Wildcat' over time. He does have 46 career rushing attempts and his combination of speed and vision would make him a dangerous new cog in Miami's favorite formation.
But what would it take to get him? I'd imagine it would take a draft pick - a potentially high draft pick. How high would you be willing to go to get one of the NFL's most dynamic return men?
It's also important to note that while Cribbs has three years left on his current contract, he's been looking for a new deal out of Cleveland all offseason long. So it wouldn't only take a draft pick to get Cribbs to Miami. It might also take some money to help keep this special teams standout content.

I agree.
Ginn is actually really good at returning when he’s focused on that. I think he is a great deep threat, but if we stop using him over the middle period then he’d have more time for KR and PR. He’s taken several to the house so I’d be happy with that.

He did return some kicks for TDs in 07

But it isn’t like he has been back there his entire career while in Miami.

trade for Bowe instead
Ginn should be doing returns along with the new guy, Sheets….not worth a high pick and a new contract, unless they plan on using him also at the WR position
bowe is a beast
but he’s injury prone and the chiefs only NFL quality player lol. I doubt they trade him
Cassel is quality.

Can't even be discussed until...
We know what it would be for… Please Don’t overspend on a kick returner. There are hundreds of guys on practice squads who have blazing speed and can return kicks… They are not worthy of a 2nd or 3rd round pick. I agree on Bowe. A bit risky on the injury factor, but the guy can change games and has a much larger upside than Cribbs.
than why can't we EVER get one?
I say make the deal

Because it's more than just the returner...
Watch the play where Patrick Cobbs returns the kick in the 2nd half (before he got hurt) to like the 16, goes airborn and helicoptered. Other than running backward Dante Hall style (which he is not fast enough for) Our “wedge” of blockers go destroyed in front of him. Our entire Kick return team needs to have much better direction.
that one example isn't going to change my mind
how about all the ones he brings back to the 25, but the coverage team collapses on him because he doesn’t have game breaking speed?

We need someone with Blazing Speed, but I’m not convinced the entire problem with our return squad is shouldered on the return man.
I agree
but I think a great return man makes an average return unit look alot better. We definitely need to improve the unit as a whole, and I think an electrifying returner is a good start

Everyone who said we need to go get a receiver is right. And not just any receiver, a potent goal line receiver. Bowe could be that guy. But I doubt they give him up for anything we could offer. As much as I don’t want to say it, maybe T.O. All I know is people are going to start pressuring Henne more and we need a big target for him.

because we need other players that are actually active for the game that can do more than be a big target in the endzone

with the exception of safety our biggest need is a big target in the end zone. He needs to start. Besides, you can always sit Bess or Camarillo as they are the same player.

What about a player trade?
Joey Porter for Cribbs? Sorry but JP has not done much this year and field postion could help us tremendously. Plus with JT, Wake and Roth, we have plenty of quality and depth at OLB.
Porter is a big enough name, coming off a huge 2008, that a rebuilding team like the Browns have need for.

agreed
and I doubt that the browns would take Turner straight up for Cribbs, even if Cribbs is a role player. If we were signing Cribbs as a free agent, I would like the move. As a trade, I think it’s almost impossible for us to get him without giving up too much.
Give him a few trys, then trade him off.
But if you do that, and he’s bad, you lose some surprise factor and probably get less of a deal

Knowshon Moreno is actually the illegitimate chocolate son of Dan Marino. Its true!!! I have pictures!!!
You trade him off,
and you lose your real end zone threat, and then I can see us getting the cycle of acquiring a big receiver in the draft or FA every year and letting them go the next year because the staff never really gave them a chance to pan out. Just like Wilford. At least Wilford was active for a couple games, but he still didn’t get any chances in the red zone. We drafted Turner for exactly that situation and that situation is where we were hurting the most in the first 3 games, so why oh why would you not give him a chance? His size alone has to count for something.

I disagree,
Ricky going in motion is the main reason Brown doesn’t get swarmed. Ricky is one of the best running backs in the league still, I say keep him on the field.
Driver of the Make David Lee OC Bandwagon
Repentant Former Driver of the Trade-Ronnie-Brown Bandwagon.
But the main reason Ronnie doesn't get swarmed on that isn't because of Ricky alone
it’s because of the speed that Ricky gets the ball at. Cribbs is faster, so he may actually be more effective, since he’s more dangerous once he turns the corner. I agree that Ricky is great at running that, and I don’t want to take him off it, but to have ANOTHER option and ANOTHER weapon to use in the Wildcat? I’ll take that all day.

Since Cobbs is out for the season...
imagine if Williams takes Cobbs spot and Cribbs comes in motion ala Ricky. I think it’d be pretty sick to give us three verifiable threats in the Wildcat formation.
Now if you want to say put Cribbs as the QB
in the Wildcat while Ronnie rests, then I won’t argue that sentiment. Ricky is not the triggerman.
Driver of the Make David Lee OC Bandwagon

That wouldn't be bad either.
What about what we did last year with the 3 backs in the backfield and the Triple Option type look? Or putting Ricky in motion, Ronnie keeps it and reverses to Cribbs instead of Cobbs? Possibilities are endless lol

Haha yeah,
I’m definitely for more WC options. If we take Cribbs, I don’t want to convert him to a WR though. I’d rather he remain a kick returner and be a part time WC triggerman/reverse option. Hester’s return numbers took a dramatic dip once the WR conversion began. I think constantly practicing routes changes how a receiver reacts on the field.
Driver of the Make David Lee OC Bandwagon
Repentant Former Driver of the Trade-Ronnie-Brown Bandwagon.
That's what I think it is,
but Krush brought up a good point that maybe Ginn just doesn’t want to be a Kick Returner anymore. It could be a combination of both, Ginn might prefer WR because he’s on the field more.
Driver of the Make David Lee OC Bandwagon

I’m pretty sure they’re looking for nothing less than a 2nd or 3rd rounder. No way Parcells gives that up for him.
Yes please
Cribbs is one of the best return men in the game, and he’s got the ability to be a pretty good receiver. So he’s not the possession guy we all want, speed kills and we would have 2 blazers if we had JC. I’d be willing to give up as high as a third, possible a 2nd, since we have 2 of them. I don’t think people understand what a dynamic kick returner/punt returner would do for this team. Imagine giving our AWESOME run game great field position each time. Imagine putting 7 points on the board without the offense having to see the field. Hasn’t happened in Miami in a looong time, and it would add immensely to our team.

Yeah but you have to be successful
before you can afford more than 4-8 teams. It’s a tough situation. Let’s just watch the NFL.
Earthwakes are fun, but I really love Golden Tate!
I don't think that's true.
Those leagues pop up because of investors and I’m sure many of the smaller investors are doing it because they want a part of a professional team in their own city. Of course there is a high risk aspect to their investment due to all of the previous leagues that have failed, but if you think about the cost of owning a UFL team vs. the going price of an NFL team, the payout should the league succeed would be ridiculous.
Anyway, I think the investors get impatient and want the league to start too soon rather than continue to sell and market/hype their idea for a few more years in order to build a solid foundation for the league which includes enough teams (12) to make getting to the playoffs meaningful and enough regular season games (also 12 IMO) to really get the fans hooked for the following year. Then those teams need to remain in the spotlight during the first off season through continued trash talking of other teams (to build rivalries) and charity work to build the public image. Easy peezy. Who wants to invest in my league?

I read all the comments and no one changed my mind but you, Rzayo!
I’d say nothing higher than a 3, or a 4 and a 7. I think if Ginn is given the reps he can become a good returner. Another thing I’m a little worried about, what if our blockers on special teams just aren’t that good? Would suck if Cribbs came over just to fail because no one is blocking well for him. I admit I know nothing about our, or any other team’s, special teams. I do like that he could be another reciever in the mix, but could he be a potential number one?
Earthwakes are fun, but I really love Golden Tate!
No...
not a #1…I’m a believer in collecting good players when a value is there. Takingg advantage of a team wanting to give something good up for a cheaper price.
I think a Cribbs on your team is worth more than a 3rd rd pick. I think our blocking IS that bad..but this isnt a right now thing..this is a Cribbs returning behind future Phins teams as well…and i think next season between the offseason and draft we will concentrate on special teams talent.
we got that 7th because we couldnt find 1 dude we wanted in last yrs 7th….its meaningless truthfully….its a special teams shot in the dark pick….well why not use that shot in the dark for a proven pro bowl special teams guy?
I think his WR talent would be just another additon of a good WR…I can picture a Ginn….Cribbs….DBess…..Hartline…and #1 go to guy as a WR corps i could go to the Super Bowl with.

I didnt read all the comments.. but I say if its more then a 3rd round pick I say forget it and suck it up and use whatever you have to to get
An elite receiver instead and put Ginn back there returning kicks. That way if you get a fast elite receiver and use Ginn mostly for returns from time to time you could put ginn in as a wr as well and have 2 guys as a deap threat at times. I would rather spend a 2nd and 4th or 5th on someone like Boldin or someone like him and use Ginn as our returner. He can light it up as a returner at times.

Haha that's cool,
I’m just arguing for the sake of arguing.
I don’t think TO would be keen on those after practice meetings that Henne holds with his WRs and as soon as he started skipping those it would jeopardize Henne’s leadership with the team.

And then he starts getting others to take his side and some take
Hennes side and thats when you know the cancer has spread. Then you have to preform an operation and cut the tumor. In the Cowboys case he was faily well behaved for a season so they gave him a longer deal with a fat bonus. Then a year later they realized that he was a giant cancer and cut him taking a giant hit to the cap.

Cribbs can be the ultimate Wildcat weapon.
I heard he played QB in college? So we know he can throw…somewhat.
I was listening to around the league..and it looks like the Browns aren’t willing to give him up.

Said something bout GInn might go to the Browns for Cribbs. Any truth?

I would take Ginn over Cribbs, so I think that's a bad, bad trade
Cribbs would be a killer addition to the wildcat, but I’d hate to part with Ginn so soon after watching him haul in that bomb from CH7 the other night. I understand his trade value would be much higher after a game like that, but still. It’s too soon.
And since the Juts parted with a third and fifth round pick for Edwards, I would offer a 4th and 7th for Cribbs. Absolutely not a third round pick though.

Seriously bad trade.
Even if you don’t think Ginn is a great receiver, you have to accept the fact that his speed forces defenses to play back a bit. It’s bad enough that they don’t let our red zone target take the field at least once, but to trade away our only deep threat as well… that would be insane.

Yeah, I agree with that. The deep play potential between Henne and Ginn could really help out our running game out of standard formation

I've Listened to Mandich Online Today
and he says the deal for Cribbs could go down relatively quickly. What an opportunity this would be for Miami, although the Dolphins need a polished wideout rather than a kick returner, but Cribbs may do well in the Wildcat. The Fins are playing good football, but ultimately GO BRONCOS!!!
Brad James
As for a wideout...
Though I’d love to go out and get someone for Henne, I am going to continue to hope that Patrick Turner becomes a go-to/red zone threat guy. Our offense has enough speed (Ginn), as well a few receivers with good hands (Camarillo; Bess), so I’d like to see Turner get into a game and have a chance to succeed before I decide to get all bat shit crazy over trading for a wide receiver.
Keep this in mind: Just about every Trifecta draft pick that has been initially met with doubt has turned out to be a screaming success. Right now, some people are unsure of Pat White and Turner, but I think they will end up being great players for us.

Rolando McClain is #1 on my draft list right now, and I’d like to add a little more depth at DE, too (maybe George Selvie from USF — I am watching him play right now against Cincy and he looks strong!).

Sure...why not? but instead of trading a potentially high (2-3) for a guy like cribbs...lets turn it up a little more
and trade for bowe (great idea)…or…..here it comes….wait for it….wait for it….
trade a 1st for Kenny Britt!!!

Josh Cribbs, the Browns’ Pro Bowl return man, has drawn significant interest from other teams, including the Dolphins, Colts, Chiefs, Raiders, Jaguars and 49ers, according to a league source.

If we are trading for anyone it should be for Brian Leonard
-He’s a tough runner
- He has speed
- He has great vision and knows how to get that extra yardage (via hurdle, dive, or extension)
- He can play multiple roles – fullback, half-back,
- he has very solid hands and can be a weapon in the passing game
- Fantastic blocker
and it’ll only take a 6th ot 7th to get him!

I would say a 4th and a player would be realistic
Maybe a 3rd without a player…I think if this would happen we’d want to dump one of our receivers… They don’t even like activating more than 4 on game day. So I think that receiver would probably be Camarillo since I highly doubt they’d trade the rookies. Bess is younger and more upside and Ginn is our deep threat. Plus Hartline looks like a developing Camarillo so I’m not sure how much longer we’ll keep BOTH on the roster, even though I love Camarillo
Can't trade Camarillo, he is our go to guy.

On NFL.com
La Canfora reported that he would be surprised if a deal was made. He says he’s someone the team plans to build around…so I think this would be great but who knows if its likely
How about a 5th rounder and Pat White,
since he is the same type of player, Cribbs rushed for about 4000yds as a QB in college, he either set the record at the time or came close to it, he is in the top 4 rushing QBs in NCAA history.

Cribbs is a special teams ace
Everyone talks about his return game, which is excellent, but lets not forget the other side of the ball, he’s awesome on kick teams too. Living outside of Cleveland, I get stuck watching the Browns alot, Cribbs is a monster on special teams and he could contribute on offence both in the wildcat and in standard formations. He has good hands and the ability to make the first guy miss. I’m not saying send a number 1 or 2 pick for him, but if the price is right, I’d say pull the trigger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When has Ginn ever been good at kick returns besides Ohio State? Did you watch him return any kicks his rookie year? I watched him make two long returns for TDs that were called back because of penalties. Miaimi is the worst return team in the NFL over the last 15 years. I am not big on Ginn really to begin with but if we get good blocking on the returns then I say Ginn is one ot the top 5 returners in the league if he were full time as a returner. I cant stand him because he always looks to go out of bounds and if he is going to get hit he will flop on the ground like a little girl first. I realize he is skinny and not built to last in this league so maybe he is just smart and trying to play more than one or two years. Why would we ever trade a draft pick for a return man when we have Ginn though? As long as we can get the ball at the 20 I am happy and we already traded a pick away for Thigpen so no way we trade another one of a guy who only returns the football. Cam Cameron is gone and Parcell’s is not stupid enough to make a trade for a return man unless it were the last pick in round 7 tjat we traded/
PR/KR
Hell, we used the ninth pick of the ‘07 draft for a useless kick returner, why dont we offer a third round pick for a REAL one. I say we target Cribbs. It seems, unfortunately, that he’s an oddball that actually LIKES playing in Cleveland…a possible drawback because of mental deficiency?? I dunno……..
