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.
