Browns KR/WR Josh Cribbs is quoted by Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer today, and his words aren’t anything we haven’t really heard from Cribbs before, but have to be considered an issue-

On talking to Pat Shurmur: “I’ve talked to the head coach but there’s no point. Obviously they feel like everybody that’s in front of me is a better athlete. I disagree. I feel a different way than the coach feels about me. They must feel I can’t produce. We have a difference of opinion.” On his value: “I feel like I’m better than the next man, that man, whoever’s in front of me, but I don’t have that opportunity.” On it being his contract year: “I can’t even showcase myself. I’m more than a special teams player. I’ve proven that. I belong on the field more than this, more than what they’re allowing me to do. I’ve tried not to say much, but it’s upsetting. We’re nine games into the season and I haven’t gotten a chance.”

Plenty more of the interview to read at Cleveland.com.
