Thanks for everything Josh...you are the Poster Boy of giving it your all. I thought an excellent leader for the youngsters to go all out n leave nothing on the table.

From the get go I was hoping we would make him a RB.

But even as a WR he was tough n punished CBs.

Yes the new rules did hurt - I think it has now become run up the middle n turn the corner with speed to the outside. The once Seams that Cribbs flourished with just cannot be held long enough for an effective path and he just doesn't have the speed to make that corner.

Btw...been to one home opener - 2004 and we kicked butt

Good Luck n Good Health Josh!

Cribbs calls Idzik’s comment on his knee a “negotiation tactic”

Jets General Manager John Idzik said this week that when his team took a look at Josh Cribbs, they found that his knee “isn’t quite there yet.”

Cribbs, who subsequently signed with the Raiders, thinks Idzik was just trying to bring Cribbs’ price down.

“I don’t know why the Jets GM would come out and say that other than use it as a negotiation tactic,” Cribbs said in a conference call with the Oakland media.

Cribbs had offseason surgery to repair a torn meniscus, and he said he feels fine and will be good to go in plenty of time for the start of the season.

“I’m doing well,” Cribbs said. “We never had planned to comment on injury but we play our first game in September or August and it’s barely June. We’re not lining up to play football. If we were lining up to play football in June then it would be a hot topic. I will be ready to play football when it’s time to play football and I think that is the important thing.”

In other words, if they had to line up and play football right now, he couldn't.... so, the injury IS an issue
