More awards for Thomas, Cribbs
Judging from the awards they keep piling up, you would swear the Browns made the playoffs rather than finishing a relatively dismal 5-11.
The latest: Left tackle Joe Thomas and return specialist Josh Cribbs were named to the Pro Football Weekly/Professional Football Writers of America all-NFL team on Monday.
It is perhaps further ammunition for Cribbs to use in his ongoing contract battle with the front office. That is, if anyone’s still listening to his “I’m unperpaid and I’m not playing here anymore” cries.
Thomas and Cribbs already had been selected to the AFC Pro Bowl team and also the Associated Press All-Pro team.
Also, center Alex Mack was named to the PFW/PFWA all-rookie team, seeming to justify head coach Eric Mangini’s decision to make him a first-round draft choice last April after swapping the No. 5 overall pick (Mark Sanchez) to the Jets. Of course, the Jets are still playing.
Mack, Baltimore offensive tackle Michael Oher (the inspiration for the “Blind Side” movie), and Cincinnati punt returner Quan Cosby were the only rookies honored from the AFC North.

Its funny how the Bengals can finally win more games than have players arrested and feel they got snubbed. Its a team game, and Marvin Lewis actually kept the team on the field. Surprise, surprise you guys finally win some games. I’d take what you guys had over our year. But keep whining about it. At least you have Chad Johnson to pay more money in fines for the year than most of us make in a few. Tough economy.

Cribbs should be paid more! I don’t want to hear “he should honor his contract”! He is doing much more for this team then any other player. Multiple positions. Mangini said he may use him at D-back. If any of us took on more titles at work, eventually we would want a pay raise. The team would want to re-negotiate if he didn’t play up to the minimum level they expect from him. I would say he surpassed that 100/fold.

Good for Joe and Josh. Both well earned. Made the correct call in 2007 with Joe, only if they did not go back and draft Quinn…i wonder how the team would have ended up with more draft picks.

Three individual awards have nothing to do with the teams achievements. Are you saying they dont deserve them cause the team didnt make the playoffs? What a dumb Article.
