With our depth (lack thereof) at tailback, is it entirely possible to see Cribbs get a few snaps there?

I'm trying to picture his game translating to the position and I'm... uncertain of how I feel.

I don't think they'll line up him in regular formations and run him out of the backfield like they would any other other runningback, but I have no problem finding other ways to get him the ball in rushing situations 3-5 times a game. He's averaged over 6.0 ypc in his career thus far and those are mostly out of the Wildcat with the defense knowing what's coming.

BEREA, Ohio -- Few teams have more ground to make up after the NFL lockout than the Cleveland Browns.

With a new offense, a new defense and fresh faces on the roster and coaching staff, the Browns are a team in transition. Rookie head coach Pat Shurmur has a difficult task ahead of him. He is trying to overhaul the Browns after back-to-back 5-11 seasons under former coach Eric Mangini.
This is the second year for Browns president Mike Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert. But in many ways, 2011 feels like the year they officially hit the reset button.

Most of Cleveland's first week of training camp focused on instruction and installation.

"We're working with the players, we're getting used to their mannerisms and how we have to communicate with them," Shurmur said. "They're getting used to us, especially if we're getting a little anxious, a little uptight. It's been good. I think the key part to coaching is that there is a solid interaction. I feel like that's going on, and I'm seeing guys improving."

Sounds like a place for the Shot-Ginn formation.

Wife got me a personalized Browns jersey for my wedding gift. Finally I'll have a jersey where a player won't suck, get traded, or injured.

Can't wait for the season to start. Go Browns!
