Cribbs days in Cleveland numbered

If so, he should consider it like hitting the lottery.

After every touchdown, we're now guaranteed about 10 minutes of dead time before play resumes, between the commercials, the mandatory review, the commercials, the touchback, and the commercials. More Flo than Football, I'm afraid.

I'm sure he's counting them. Probably for the past three years.

Something I've noticed over the last couple of seasons is how adept punters have become at dropping the ball on the 10, with a lot of hang time so there's no return.

Suppose, just for the sake of argument, that special teams start working on coffin-corner kickoffs. Since the kicker no longer has to put everything he's got into the kick, it gives him a chance to put the ball up higher, letting the coverage get there, and by taking a bit off he can get the ball to bounce on the 10.

Wouldn't it be funny if teams started doing this, actually turning Goodell's No Fun League rule change into more fun?

The Browns would be doing him a big favor by cutting him.

Cribbs Days in Cleveland Numbered? That's fantastic news for him!!

DD, that would be awesome! At this point with kickoffs, I don't see why they don't just place the ball at the 20 and not waste the time with the kickoff. Wouldn't that suit Goodamn's purposes?

Think positively. In the old days, you barely had time to go out to the beer fridge in the garage for a refill. Now, you can empty your bladder, stir the chili, slice the cheese, turn the ribs and brats on the grill, find the opener and pour a microbrew into a frosted glass before play resumes.

And still have some quality time with the wife (or girl of your choice) too. For those foolishly thinking, quality time doesn't require conversation.

Considering outside of maybe Phil Dawson Cribbs does more than anyone else on their team it would still be within the Brown's interest to keep him if it's reasonable.

In 2007 and 2009 (his Pro Bowl seasons), Josh excited Cleveland fans with very little else to be excited about. When the other team assuredly scored, the ensuing kick off was ripe with anticipation of JC returning one to the house. After his disastrous 2010 campaign and the rule changes from last year, (not to mention his AWESOME WR skills) and most true Browns fans had enough of him in the first place. He thinks way too highly of himself and his "skills" (just follow him on Twitter) and if the Browns cut him loose, I think the initial backlash from fans will fade into obscurity once the season starts and no one is running back kicks anyway.

Punts and kickoff returns are half of their offensive game plan. tough to make up for that lost production.

The Browns lose their most skilled player and now he can go to a real team.
Besides, who punts against the Browns? It's not like they always stop people.

That's funny. Not only is he NOT their most skilled player, his skills are diminished and about to be rendered useless by the league's changing rules.
