Article on Eric Wright
-
Its my firm belief that both elam and wright will be waived the very second that even the tiniest little upgrade to the positions become available..
Wright has been downright wrong this year and elam hasnt improved enough to compete against a real safety for a starting job anywhere else...
These 2 guys combined with adams are the weak links in an otherwise strong chain, its hard to believe that last year wright and adams were among our best players on defense....man this team has came a long way!
-
Yup Wright will be unemployed next year and he should be. As for Elam he shouldn't be in Cleveland in the first place. He is awful
-
OBVIOUSLY...
-
I just can't see how he can pass the buck. Does he not know we watch these games? He gives up more plays than anybody on our defense. If he did his job our linemen would have more sacks or deflections

Wright has always had an issue with tackling but now that hes getting toasted on a regular bases people are just starting to notice.
Last year McDonald was easy pickins so Wright looked like an all star in comparison. I hope we tender him at the end of the season so we can see if can make a run for a more physical corner like Richard Marshall. If we cant land us an upgrade then we would still have him for one more year at a acceptable price.
With that said the Holmes touchdown was the fault of 3 players Elam, Bowens(i believe or it may have been Gocong), and Wright. They all had reasonable chance to make that tackle but they all flinched when they seen each other trying to make the tackle. That is the problem with our entire defense were not aggressive with out tackling. There is far too many attempts to hold someone up so some one else can finish the play. Another prime example is the 3 missed tackles to sack Sanchez.

I would like to see Brandon Mac comeback.

in my eyes it was a tired defense basically giving up because we weren't gonna win and they were already in field goal range.

Somebody brought it up on another post
Last year you had McDonald ,Poteat,Adams,why throw at Wright?
This year they've thrown at Brown with some success...thrown at Ward with little success...Hayden no success....guess who I'm going after?
Oh... and MAYBE two touchdowns last year Eric???? are we counting the one where Adrian Peterson pitch you like a rag doll on his way to 70 yd TD?

No way. What was his excuse for the Baltimore loss? And if what you wrote is the case then he is a cancer and needs cut

The touchdown was the fault of Wright and Barton who didn't even touch Holmes, and Ward was set up for a big hit, but he was banking on one of the two to at least touch the guy and he was totally out of place.

When he wore number 24 he was faster

1. Eric Barton in Coverage (4 of the scariest words in football)
2. Eric Wright is THAT bad. It's not necessarily one thing that he does wrong. He makes mental mistakes. He doesn't react well. He overplays the simplest routes. When he takes risks, they're always wrong.
3. Abe Elam is never going to be confused for a great player HOWEVER, I did hear something on the radio that made me want to give him a break. He's a guy who is working in tandem with a rookie safety and no matter how good Ward is at this point, if you notice, Elam makes a lot of presnap communicating with TJ and that's probably holding him back a bit. You can't knock the guy for not playing hard. He isn't the best safety and he does get beat at times BUT he did have the strip that changed the game against NE. When we get someone better....he'll be replaced.

Last year the Browns first two slections were def. secondary and so was their 4th (or fifth?). It would not surprise me if the team goes defence with the first three picks including one D lineman, one DB and one S.

I'm going to go ahead and play devils advocate here even though I am pissed at Wrights play this season. I read the interview on Cleveland.com and from what I got out of it wasn't what you are all talking about. This guy clearly knows that he is screwing up and he isn't making excuses for it. He clearly states that he was in the same situation last year with the blitzes not getting through and having to go one on one and he didn't have this kind of problem then. He isn't saying that to blame the rest of the defense, he is saying that he has got the job done before and that and there is no excuse for his bad play. He also talks about he can only work to get better, not make excuses, not put the blame on someone else, just go back out to practice, take his lumps from the coaches, and do the best he can, which is all you can ask from anyone.
Plus you have to like how the team has his back in this situation.

Why no mention of what happened to guarding the Jets Pegged Legged Pirate... That should have been a INT and possibly Pic 6.
