Browns WR Joshua Cribbs explained Thursday how he’s going to honor the teammates who helped him get to his second Pro Bowl. He brought nine of his core special teams blockers — Jerome Harrison, Lawrence Vickers, Blake Costanzo, Nick Sorensen and Ray Ventrone among them — in for Pro Bowl week, and he’s going to rotate wearing their jerseys the rest of the week, including Sunday’s game.

Mike Holmgren has already seen enough to know he likes running back Jerome Harrison, who totaled 570 yards (5.0 average) and five touchdowns in the final four games, trailing only Kansas City's Jamaal Charles' 658 yards in that span.

Harrison finished with a team-high 862 yards (4.4 average) and notched the third-best rushing day in NFL history with 286 yards at Kansas City.

''I love him as a player,'' Holmgren said of Harrison, in his fourth season. ''I thought what he did at the end of the season was remarkable. The teams Cleveland played knew that's kind of how it was going to go and they still got it done; 286 yards: is that what he had in that one game? That's a lot of yards.

''When it gets cold and you can have a good running game and can control the clock, it's nice to have a guy you can give the ball to like that.''

Jerome Harrison posted his third consecutive 100-yard game during Sunday's 23-17 victory over the Jaguars, rushing for 127 of the Browns' 214 yards on 33 carries, including a sensational six-yard touchdown blast on fourth and 1 that increased the lead to 20-3 in the third quarter.

It marked the first time a Browns back has had three straight 100-yard games since Lee Suggs in 2004. But these weren't just any old 100-yard games. They were record-smashing, streak-producing and maybe even coach-saving performances, including the team-record 286 vs. Kansas City and the 148 vs. the Raiders.

Harrison credited his blockers with his scintillating three weeks, and the fact he's had Jamal Lewis and Jim Brown as mentors.

"Jamal took me under his wing since the first day he got here," said Harrison. "I don't know too many running backs that can say 'I had Jamal Lewis and Jim Brown.' It's special. I'm truly lucky and blessed to have those two in my corner."
He can only hope new team president Mike Holmgren appreciates what he can do.

"I love being in Cleveland and I'd love to be back," he said. "I love the fans, I love the people, I'd love to be here."
