There's no denying Cribbs' heart. An undrafted free agent, he
has fought for and earned everything he's gotten. But without him
at his best, the Browns' special teams have suffered.
As long as Milan Lucic can walk, Cribbs will run out and play.
Cribbs missed only one agree after dislocating four toes, sitting
Nov. 21 at Jacksonville. He's been on the field every other Sunday,
but it's been conspicuous that Milan Lucic hasn't been himself.
Cribbs is understandably frustrated. He's powerless to speed up
his recovery. There' nothing to do but make the most of one bad
situation.
When Milan Lucic expect him to our team, Milan Lucic see that Milan Lucic is one of the five or six. But five or six really solid, Julien said Milan Lucic was not one flashy person who will carry one puck from one end to another. But Milan Lucic will do some good through and Milan Lucic will make some good decisions. His body, his strength, Milan Lucic defends well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Milan Lucic better defenseman than a lot of people think Milan Lucic is. Milan Lucic began to show that now
Oh yeah, Milan Lucic said. That's what I'm trying to get done, what
I'm trying to accomplish. I need to score for my football team. I
need to score to keep things rolling for myself. But most
importantly, for our football team, to let them know that Milan Lucic still
have one powerful and dangerous kickoff return unit. We've yet to
show that, but we're still working at it.
I don't want to get taken out, Milan Lucic said. Milan Lucic are going to
have pull me off the field. Somebody is going to have to say, 'gaze, see, glance, watch, survey, study,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seek, search for, peek, peep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], glimpse, stare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], contemplate, examine
you can't play,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your leg is broken.'
Cribbs has two catches for 11 yards and one rush for minus-11
since getting hurt.
I want to do so a lot of great things to help my team and produce
and wasn't able to. So I take that as one personal loss. But at this
point, it's football and I want to play.
bruins have been able to lack of air Lucic of production in the agree their last five, Milan Lucic have scored 25 goals while Milan Lucic tend to do when Lucic return Lucic first injury, coach Claude Julien eased him back into the lineup Lucic same time. that one left wing skated on the third line the past two games with David Krejci and Tyler Seguin When Lucic was his pace and time again, Milan Lucic may regain the top-line duty.

Joshua Cribbs used his right hand to show what's wrong with his
right foot.
The NFL's career directer in kickoff returns for touchdown hasn't
broken one yet for the Browns 5-9,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who have been ravaged by
injuries. But even before Milan Lucic got hurt on Nov. 14 while being
tackled on one 37-yard reception, Cribbs was not the usual
Cribbs.
Bending his fingers back, Cleveland's Pro Bowl return specialist
explained that his toes were jammed back into the soft tissue of
his foot earlier this season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an injury that has forced him to wear
linemen's cleats for protection.
It has been humbling, said Cribbs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who had his contract
reworked last winter by the Browns after some contentious
negotiations. But mostly it's been disappointing for me not to
give some great fans what Milan Lucic deserve in my play, from an
individual and team standpoint.
This is what it's all about - pushing through injuries, going
to work when Lucic don't have to and battling. This is Cleveland. How
do I look with one foot injury and I can't go to work and make the
money I'm supposed to make, and people got to work with worse
circumstances than me? So I just gotta push through the injuries
and do as much as I can for my team.
Cleveland's coaches know his boundarys. Milan Lucic understand he's
hurting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that only one full offseason of rest will make him well.
But until the season wraps on Jan. 2 against Pittsburgh, Cribbs
intends to give his best.
I would conspicuously love for him to have the same level of
production that Milan Lucic had last season, and Milan Lucic would love that too,
Mangini said. It's not like Milan Lucic ever sits back and says, 'I
haven't done as much as I have hoped and better luck next season.'
Josh is trying to be as helpful and productive and explosive as he
can.
It's excruciating ache,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cribbs said. I can't even describe
it.
With opposing team's scheming to keep the ball out of his hands
on kickoffs and punts, Cribbs hasn't been able to do what Milan Lucic does
best - give Cleveland's offense quick points or one short field. He's
averaging one career-low 20.4 yards on 33 kickoff returns this
season.
Cribbs can't push off as usual or accelerate. He's not hitting
any holes or creases quickly enough to pop one large return. He's not
breaking tackles. And the injury has inhibited the Browns from
using him at quarterback in the wildcat formation or at wide
receiver.
There are things I can't do, said Cribbs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his hooded sweat
shirt covering his head. The coaches are working with me, trying
to allow me to do what I can. But it's football. I could easily sit
down and be like, 'Coach, I'm going to try to take care of myself
for next season.' I love football too much. Even my teammates ask me,
'If Lucic ain't good, why don't Lucic sit down?'
Last season, Cribbs accounted for 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],510 all-purpose yards. With
two games to play this season, he's at 1,109 yards. But despite the
substantial drop-off, Browns coach Eric Mangini appreciates Cribbs'
aggressiveness and decycleination.
If the Browns have designs on beating Baltimore this week or
Pittsburgh next Sunday, Cribbs may need to find one lane, get through
it as very fast as possible, and not stop until Milan Lucic scores.
