Flash Package: Joshua Cribbs the Browns' Key Against Pittsburgh

"Powerful offense, porous defense."

07week10cribbs2_medium

Though there have been improvements this season on the defensive line, at least until the chemistry builds up (if it does), we're going to have to rely on shootouts. Considering our offense can't score on every possession to match what our defense gives up, we need an X-factor. That X-factor is none other than Joshua Cribbs.

When we lost to the Steelers 31-28 last November, how many solid offensive drives did we have?

One. That's right -- just one. It came on our first offensive drive of the game, consisting of 16 plays for 71 yards, and lasting nearly ten minutes. After that, the offense was shut down and the defense really couldn't stop Ben Roethlisberger. We survived on the kick returns of Cribbs.

After our first touchdown, the Steelers kicked a field goal. On the ensuing kickoff, Cribbs returned the ball 90 yards, setting up an easy touchdown pass to Lawrence Vickers. We later scored another touchdown after great field position following a Brodney Pool interception.

In the second half, the Steelers scored two touchdowns to take the lead. That lead didn't last too long though, as Cribbs had his ever-so-memorable 100-yard tiptoe kick return for a touchdown, putting us back on top at the time. Without Cribbs' ability, we very well could've lost 35-14. After missing last week's game against the Dallas Cowboys, fans have an even greater appreciation. Syndric Steptoe and Gerard Lawson were frustrating to watch on returns, because you could visualize Cribbs taking the same kicks an extra 20 yards at least every time. The big question, then, is this: is he ready?

"I'm ready," Cribbs vowed. "I feel I can be a difference in the game."

In order for the Browns to beat the Steelers, we're going to need more contributions from Cribbs than just kick and punt returns. We're going to need him on offense too.

With Donte Stallworth doubtful and unlikely to play for the second week in a row, we're in need of an extra weapon for Anderson. That has to involve Rob Chudzinski's "Flash" package that was on display throughout all of training camp. Although Cribbs has not had a lot of practice time lately, this is arguably the biggest game of the season for the Browns, and you need to bring everything you have to the table. I'm not saying every play needs to be a reverse to Cribbs or an option pass down the field to Braylon Edwards, but something needs to be in place to keep the Steelers' secondary off-guard. Head coach Romeo Crennel has already stated that Cribbs may not play the gunner position on kick return in hopes that he can be used in some of the offensive sets.

In the national spotlight, there's no better player than Cribbs to alleviate the pressure facing the rest of the team. Hopefully it's enough to finally defeat the Steelers, and regain our side of pride in this heated rivalry.

"Powerful offense, porous defense...and a great special teams."

 Great post. Lets get this game going!

Donte Stallworth is really looking like the offense’s Antwan Peek. How do you pull a quad/groin enough to have to sit for 2 weeks?

Lets hope Cribbs is healthy. I feel like his injury (ankle sprain) shouldn’t hurt his north/south hit-the-hole-as-hard-as-I-can style as much as it would for a Donte Hall style runner. With all the WRs out with injuries, do you think we will line him up wide more than usual, Chris?

by rufio on Sep 14, 2008 4:10 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think we’d have to. Steptoe and Sanders have literally no experience in regular season games at the receiver position, and in prime time and a rivalry game, we need someone who is not timid to take charge. Granted, Cribbs’ reps at receiver are limited too, but he is a playmaker.

I’d still like to see Sanders start, and work off of Cribbs in rotation or in the slot.

that Pittsburgh will play like USC and the Browns like Ohip State? Gosh I hope I am wrong but I got a bad feeling if the Browns dont take the game to the Steelers.

It’s funny how they’ve essentially, and rather discretely, swapped the roles of Harrison and Wright. Just a month ago Wright was the backup and Harrison was the third down back – and now it appears it’s been flipped.

No excessive celebration for Hines?

by JulioBernazard on Sep 14, 2008 9:27 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

no. cut that out right now. If its is like the Cowboys game last week with 5 mins to go in the 4th, then maybe. But down only 7-0, you stick with your guy. Unless they are going to Charlie Frye Anderson and go with Quinn. Was that confusing?

that’s in the area of offensive holding and adding the fact that DA switched directions and had to break from the original plan…thats holding 90% of the time.

But it seems more likely that the game will come down to the ability of Jamal Lewis to gain more than 1.66 yds/carry, our intermediate passing game to gel, and our D to continue to play well.
