Should check out the returner thread, or the Josh Cribbs thread, hes not a gunner or defensive player anymore he talked about it on the jim rome show yesterday.He is the #2 WR now and the starting KR/PR and that is it atm, they will be running the Wildcat and other gadgets more this year and he will be a part of all of them.He is essentially THE offensive utility player now (They say if he blows up they will take him off returning, but I dont see that ever happening since he just got his 3 year 20 mil contract)
Huh, I did not know that about him not being a gunner, thanks for that info. He is definitely the #3 WR though, Robiskie is #2 (even according to the official depth charts).I would still caution the hype about him as I can't see Mangini calling more than 3-4 gadget plays a game. I guess we'll see though! More Cribbs is almost always better for the team

No, Massa ain't "worthless" -- he's a decent fantasy WR2. Also, reports are that the light has come on for Robiske. (wait & see on that one.)At any rate, expect to see Cribbs put up better numbers this year than last. He will be used more on offense at WR. Unfortunately, they don't seem inclined to try him at RB, where he has excelled on every carry in the wildcat.
Cribbs attempted 3.4 rushes per game last season- since some of the "gadget" plays involved him handing off or passing he pretty much averaged 4 gadgets a game last season. However in the 2nd half of the season Crbbs averaged 6 rushes per game (5.25 during their 4 game WS at the end of the season). Will this year be different? Probably but given they brought in two very versatile players in Wallace and Hillis they might be looking to incorporate more this year. I certainly expect them to turn to it heavily if Delhomme stinks.Huh, I did not know that about him not being a gunner, thanks for that info.

He off coverage. He's on returns.If you actually heard someone suggest that Cribbs is off return duties it is akin to saying Peyton Manning is off passing duties. Whoever suggested it is none too bright.
