Eric Wright’s season is over

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on December 20, 2010, 7:40 PM EST

Jacksonville Jaguars v Cleveland Browns

At times in his career, Browns cornerback Eric Wright has looked like a potential star.

We remember Shawn Springs saying on NFL Network that Wright was one of the five best cornerbacks in the league. Like so many young cornerbacks, however, Wright is streaky.

He started off this season poorly and things only snowballed from there. He was eventually benched for Joe Haden and Monday he was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, ending his season.

Wright is a free agent and could be an interesting pickup in the offseason. He’s young (25) and has a lot of experience. Still, his 2010 campaign has crushed his chances of getting a big contract in 2011.

I dont know man... Our Defense with out Troy is Beatable. No one will clobber us , but If the Offense plays the Dummied down version it has been. Any team could beat the Steelers on Any given Sunday. Especially the Browns... Who played crappy today. But Colt looked Good... Defense just couldn't get off the field. Its not a no Brainer thats all.

Thank you for being honest and civil. I dont like your chances to go to the Superbowl and definitely not win without Troy. With him, you have as good a chance as any team

Look, 6 wins is about what this team is. Face it we have improved and are in every game, but we won games we shouldnt have and also lost won we shouldnt have.

With so many rookie starters, i think we are doing ok really!!

Daboll should have been gone already and he WILL be. Holmgren cannot possibly put up with this much longer.

Mccoy is ideal for a quick strike offense and Holmgren will implement one

Rob Ryan should stay...we just need better LB's and depth at DL.

Oh and a true #1 WR

Cribbs should be ST only with a few WildDawg plays thrown in. We need his KR abilities to return

If IFs and buts were candies and nuts.

Hardesty was drafted and they gave up good picks to move

up to get him. While everyone, even casual fans, knew he

would be hurt all the time. That won't change next year either.

If know nothing, big-mouthed Steeler fans were money, everyone on this board could retire early....

The Steelers never win anything when they have to go through the Patriots. This is a fact.

Had the Pats not lost to the Broncos in '05 on a fluky 3 int game by Brady, the Steelers would NEVER have won in Foxboro.

They were lucky to get Jake the Snake instead of Touchdown Tom

Brady gets hot chicks.......Ben has to corner drunk co-eds

Brady 3 rings......Ben 2 (thanks to 100yd pick six's and td passes by randle el)

Brady handsome, classic jawline, straight nose, great hair....Ben is taller

Brady mega endorsements....Ben has and is a "Fathead"

Brady> Ben

Mangini cannot and should not be fired!!! Yes he is ULTIMATELY responsible for the entire team, but the playcalling is the main issue here.

Holmgren certainly can barely stand to watch this mess we are forced to call offensive playcalling. It is certainly "offensive"

Daboll has to go...

We need a O-Coordinator that MAXIMIZES the talent we have at WR....

Colt has to be healthy....

We need a true #1 WR....

We need a DE....

We need a FAST OL....

We need OL depth....

We need Hardesty to be healthy....

Oh....and Ryan needs to stay....

My friend here says the Browns will win this week. Anyone want to argue about it?

I knew James Harrison was an angry roid monger, but he REALLY got big!!!

Ben the phony, fake-christian coward taunted Seymor and deserved to be smacked in his hideous face.

A lot of Nittany Lions on that list...as well as a lot of Nittnany Lions that sucked that didn't make the list. Ki-jana Carter, Courtney Brown to name a few

Who are the really good Penn State Pros? (since the 80's)

Larry Johnson (was good)

Kerry Collins (solid career)

Lavar Arrington (good for a short time)

Robbie Guld (Boo-Yah)

Tamba Hali

??????????????????????????????????????????

You can't apply the transitive property to football. Every week you're fielding a different team, with a different matchup and gameplan to address that matchup.

No kidding, man....just trying to illicit excuses from our brilliant Steeler-fan visitors.

Hey....I was just thinking....aren't the Patriots the team the Browns ran all over and embarassed last week?

That's what I thought....It's strange how a team as complete and dominant as the Steelers got DOMINATED by the same team we DOMINATED...

I can't figure it out...unless the Steelers are just OVERRATED with a poor secondary, predictable offense and poor backups....

who knows?!?!?!

if he has to have one i like "Great White Buffalo"

Oh yeah...they're from western PA

I didn't get to watch many games today with errands, work on the house and the gf's truck.

Maybe you should work more on the gf and not worry about Peyton Hillis...until week 17

No way we're holding the Pats to 10 points. With that said, we could win this thing. Have to be a very smart, mistake free game. No big plays for Pats on ST. Have to keep it close into the 4th qtr.

Whoooaaa Nelly!!! Dont tell this to a Steeler fan. Pouncey is already the best center in the league because the Steelers always have the best centers in the league. Just ask 'em

What makes anyone think Cower is a better or smarter HC than Mangini.

Yes he has had more success...BUT...that is because he has had more years and with a better organization

Stability, Stability, Stability is what makes a franchise great

Leadership is what makes players want to play for them

Switching coaches every 3 years is why The Browns have been a disaster since the 1999 return.

Leave Mangini alone

This is the quote from Evan Moore today. THIS IS THE POINT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE:

"He was just playing his game," Moore said. "I'm not trying to say that his game is dirty. I'm just saying he's made a habit of hitting like that. I don't think launching into a guy's head makes you a tough player. Harrison is a good, strong, tough player but that's not what makes him tough and that's something I think is unnecessary"

It is unnecessary. You can light a guy up by crushing him in his torso. Go back 20 or 30 years and watch how players actually TACKLED instead of smashing into guys. The art of tackling is becoming lost. I respect Harrison as a player....but he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic and pretty angry. Just watch the video of him holding down and punching a cardinal player on a kickoff.....I guess roids still make you angry.

9) Thou shalt think that a sandwich with coleslaw and fries on it is a creative delicacy only fit for a king like......Donny Iris

10) Thou shalt forget that the Steeler players worshiped most by fans, Roethlisberger, Harrison and Lambert...are all from the Football Mecca known as OHIO ....and only AFTER they arrive in Pittsburgh, and drink their polluted river-swill known as Iron City, do they become deranged.

You absolutely start him. He was completely poised. Showed no sign of panic, and I'm not talking about scrambling out of the pocket ("Solomon Wilcots" asswipe)

His accuracy was tremendous. Seriously. Just think of what he did!!! Two tipped int's which can happen to anyone.
