Chiefs Chiefs should attempt to make a trade for Joshua Cribbs

RedThat · 10-18-2009, 09:29 PM

I do that trade if I were them to seal the deal for special teams.

I think this team lacks a "good" returner. Bobby Wade isn't the answer nor is Bobby Engram, or Maurice Leggett.

I think Colquitt and Succop are studs, and great weapons for this team.I just think adding a guy like Joshua Cribbs completes the final piece for special teams.

I have to say even despite the fact the Chiefs are a terrible team, the special teams looks like it's heading in the right direction. So that is a good start for a team that is in a rebuilding process. Hoffman is a good special teams coach, Succop's kickoffs have been outstanding, and compliments the coverage units out there.

Colquitts hang time has been impressive and also compliments the coverage units as well. get that returner and this special teams unit will be super.

While I agree that Wade is not the answer, I don't think Cribbs is some magic solution to our return game.

Without blocking, he'll do marginally better, if any than what we have.

I'd rather have the pick to fix one of the 40+ holes on this roster.

I probably could, but you definitely couldn't.

Isn't he at least a decent slot receiver? He's pretty quick, and the Browns have him as their snap-man in the Wildcat. So considering one of the Chiefs' holes is 'completely underwhelming WR talent' couldn't it be that he'll kill two birds with one stone?

I think in general it's not a good idea to trade stuff for guys who only return kicks. Their success tends to be short lived.

Cribbs isn't a bad receiver either. He could definitely fit the bill as a 4th receiver, and return both kicks and punts. Cribbs would also be a great addition to the offense for gadget plays, and to stretch a D with his speed on occasion.

That's the very defintion of a role player. something every team could use that's for sure.

25 career catches for 192 yards and 1 TD in 5 years says otherwise.

He's a return man, period, and might as well be carrying a huge neon sign over his head that reads "TRICK PLAY COMING" every time he steps on the field on offense.

How much of his statistical shortcomings reflect the abortion that is the Browns? Not that we're a juggernaut or anything, just wondering.

The Browns had a sick offense in 2007, and he had 3 catches.
