Browns Coach wished he would have handled final play differently

After Monday night’s 16-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns Coach Eric Mangini said he wished he would have handled the game’s final play differently so that the team would not have its best player injured.Write for Pay


The best player referred to wide receiver Josh Cribbs, who was flattened by Ravens defensive end Dwan Edwards on the last play. In the team whose offense just scoring nine points in the past three games and 78 all season, Cribbs at least poses the threat of going the distance when he has the ball, and that is why the Browns cannot afford to be without him.

After Cribbs spent several hours at the Cleveland Clinic undergoing tests, Mangini worried less as he knew the receiver did not sustain a concussion. The coach was even optimistic that Cribbs would wear back his Browns jersey to play on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. But who care? The Browns anyway have no chance to the playoff.
