There is very little discussion of Mike Wright in the forum. I don't get to go to the camp practices. He's looked very crisp in the preseason ... but it's hard to evaluate from that. He's always looked more the part of a 1-gap DL player than a 2-gap guy so he's been a situational backup here. But Bill extended him - so Bill has had some ideas about this line for some time now.
Has anyone seen anything from him to suggest he's in for more contribution this year? Or he simply a dependable player (backup) who helps with the cap? I'm guessing he will be counted on to pressure the QB from the pocket on 3rd downs in the 4-3 like before.
Will he be Wilfork's sidekick this year until Brace/Pryor are more ready?
Is it possible he's been injury free enough to have improved into a 3 down lineman?
Or ... is he still Mike Wright the very fast big guy backup DL?
Opinions?
