Alex Marvez ‏@alexmarvez

Also looking like Josh Cribbs will be signing with Cardinals as well. Story coming ASAP, too.

Man, the news is coming in fast and furious... I expected that to happen just as the 2 PM radio shows hit. I love this signing, since he's just a hell of a lot of fun to root for. I'm still amazed he didn't join the Patriots.

very much justva meh signing

 

[Shane]

winder if he can play safety

 

[Southpaw]

Doesn't make my toes tingle.

Why? Can anyone tell me why we are picking him up? Is he gonna now return punts instead of Peterson? He is a terrible wide receiver because he doesn't even know how to play the position.

This def ends PP returning punts or kicks

BA said that PP will be returning punts. But we did need someone to replace LSH on kickoffs.

 

[pacman]

Why are we replacing Peterson with Cribbs? None of this makes sense. Why are we wasting money on a returner? That's all he knows how to do.

Avatar bet that Cribbs returns punts? He was one of the best at punt return yards last year.

Cribbs is one of those guys you can likely run the wildcat with some, and save Peterson in certain situations. If we can get the ball in his hands more, he can be dynamic. Maybe Arians has some great plans for him?

Not sure about this one but I guess the same thing could have been said last year about Jacoby Jones for Baltimore. He was a disappointment as WR but electrifying return guy. How did that work out for them in the playoffs/superbowl?

Josh Cribbs is no Jacobey Jones. Cribbs hasent had a KR touchdown in over 3 years...

If we get Cribbs it means we don't HAVE to have PP returning punts. I still think he should, but he wouldn't have to do it all the time. If anything it would allow you to try to sneak PP on the field and see if you can catch the punter off guard and give PP a better show at a returnable kick.

Send Cribbs out there the first couple of quarter and then suddenly sneak on PP.

But we also have to remember that LSH was our KR man and I think that's what Cribbs would mostly be for, our replacement on kickoffs for LSH.

Can he play QB? RB? OL? DE? CB? S? No? Then WTF.

He actually can play QB and RB

 

[Shane]

Not well he can't. Hes about as limited a player as there is. ST's and he isnt even GREAT at that anymore IMO. ZERO TD's in over 3 seasons as a KR.

At the same time, in the Wildcat, maybe???

You have used that line so much the past 2 days you should have it as your sig. PP didnt fare well on punt returns last year either with no TD's and several muffs.

 

[jf-08]

I hate the Wildcat.

Thats what I was getting at

Thats because its a fact and worth noting. The guy is not a dynamic player anymore.

Neither is PP on ST he had a very bad year plus it took away from him improving as a CB.

Umm he absolutely improved as aCb and made the PB because of it?? And one down year is MUCh different than 3 that much is clear.
