Default Mike Wright deserves some praise!

I haven’t seen any congrats to Mike Wright and his play during Wilfork’s absence. We just held the Leagues number 4 rusher to 63 yards on 18 carries (3.5 YPC). Coming into the game he averaged 89 yards per game (which includes two games where he was eliminated by the score and had 18 carries total in both games) and had 1246 yards for a 4.5 YPC. And before someone brings up the score to yesterday’s game, Garrard had only 25 pass attempts. In the two games mentioned above where MJD was held to 18 carries (6 in one and 12 in the other) Garrard had 68 pass attempts (37 and 31).

Not to mention his effort last week against Buffalo without Warren as well. Mike Wright is without a doubt our unsung hero on Defense.

So here is to Mike Wright

Since he got here whenever he makes a play or I notice someting he did I yell out thats right (Wright)....This year I have been saying that more and more. I really liked him the last few years as he is a charlie hustle kind of guy and it is always fun to watch those guys overacheive. Well he continues to get better and better and we have a really good player there.

Indeed. I love Big Vince, but no way are they going to break the bank for a pure run stuffer when Wright and Pryor give them solid play against the run and more of a pass rush for a fraction of the cost.

Last week BB went out of his way to acknowledge his strong play of late in his press conference on Monday. I think he even got a game ball last week.

Mike Wright is on a new team next year I think as his contract is up and we have Wilfork,Green and Gostkowski contracts to deal with

Wright does deserve a starting job somewhere...as long as it is not in this division.

Yeah I was about to say the same thing also I think something needs said for Kyle Arrington's play on special teams he has been excellent since being signed off the practice squad..

Great thread. I agree that Wright deserves lots of praise, and also find it interesting that Wright/Pryor + potential draft pick may not equal Big Vince staying around.

I think odds are that VW will stay, but Wright and the emergance of a decent rookie showing by Pryor has made it more of a debate than many think.
