Brady Quinn Responsible for ANOTHER Injury vs Ravens

[Card Magnet]

We all know about Quinn's dirty shot to Suggs. How about this though - he called the play that got Cribbs hurt at the end of the game. A play that only happened because the wonderful refs of the NFL gave Cleveland a fourth time out.

Of course Cribbs wanted to be there, and it's not Quinn's fault it unfolded that way. Takes alot of heat off of Mangini though.

As Browns coach Eric Mangini continuest to face crticism for the Stanford-band clusterfudge that concluded Monday night's 16-0 loss to the Ravens, he's getting support from an unlikely source.

The guy who was hurt during the play.

Receiver Josh Cribbs said Wednesday that the play wasn't called by coach Eric Mangini, but by quarterback Brady Quinn.

"It was a call at the line,'' Cribbs said, per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "It wasn't a call that came in from the coaches. Brady had let us know to keep the ball alive, that he was going to throw the slant to me at the line and to keep the ball alive. He gave the signal to keep it alive, but it wasn't a call that came in from the sideline.''

Unlike his agent, Cribbs wasn't upset about the fact that he was on the field during the final, futile drive.

"They put me in position to make plays and to play well in the football game and I wouldn't want to come out of the game,'' Cribbs said. "A lot of people say 'why are you still out when you have no chance to win the game?' but I wanted to be out there, so I can't put no blame on anyone.''

Still, the Browns never even should have had the ball at the end of the game. With their three time outs exhausted, Mangini called -- and was awarded -- a fourth time out after the two-minute warning. Absent the extra time out, the Ravens would have been able to run out the clock without giving possession back to the Browns.
