As a Droughns owner, this is very appealing.

surprising yet satisfying,
since I traded Harrison away last week.

Quite shocking, especially after Harrison's great preseason. Maybe he is struggling with protection.

This would be my guess. and to have a young RB with a young QB can usually spell trouble in the backfield. But we all see Harrison's skills. Something tells me that this change doesn't hold very long.

I see it this way as well. Harrison will be backing Droughns up sooner rather than later. If Reuben were to get injured I don't see Wright being the starter.

I didn't see Gado as a starter last year, or Mike Bell as a starter this year either.
Edited to say, I guess GB didn't have much of a choice last year, lol.

Rotowire got this wrong. Savage never said Wright was ahead of Harrison. Savage was asked about Suggs and Green being chased off by last year's and this year's RB draft picks. He responded like this:
Depth Chart
He didn't say Wright before Harrison. He said Wright before Suggs and Green.From the rotowire AP piece:
Again he is discussing Green and Suggs and why Wright stuck. Harrison is the backup.

This is exactly why i don`t see Wali Lundy lasting as the #1 rb in texas...he was having a hard time protecting carr against vannilla defenses this preseason.

I don't really get this argument. Lundy graded much better in pass protection/blitz pickup in the last preseason game. He picked up every single assignment against Denver's 1st string D and picked up every blitz. Morency missed one assignment and whiffed on at least one blitz pickup(which resulted in a sack) against Denver's 2nd/3rd string. Morency had protection issues last season and in TC, so this really isn't anything new. I guess your predicting a quick ascension to RB1 for Dayne...

From CNN/SI.comPosition: RB Class: SrSchool: Northwestern Conference: Big Ten Ht., Wt.: 5'10½, 21040 Time: 4.71Grade: 3.57 BIO: Second team all-conference selection who led the Wildcats in rushing with 267/1388/20 last season. Also posted 18/251/1 catching the ball and averaged 29 yards on eight kick returns. Set a Motor City Bowl record against Bowling Green last December with 237 yards rushing and 336 all-purpose yards. Team MVP as a junior after rushing totals of 219/1,234/12 and receiving numbers of 27/266/0. Also averaged 28.5 yards on eight kick returns. Academic All-American the past two seasons.POSITIVES: Versatile skill position player productive when the ball is in his hands. As a running back he is a high stepper that displays vision, a burst of speed as well as overall ball-carrying instincts. Keeps his feet moving up the field and works to pickup positive yardage. Outstanding pass-catcher with a lot of natural skills. Uses his frame to shield opponents, adjusts well to the errant throw and extends to pluck the pass out of the air. Good eye/hand coordination, looks the pass in and catches the ball from his frame. Displays focus and concentration in all aspects of his game.NEGATIVES: Lacks breakaway speed and cannot run to daylight. Not an elusive ball handler who makes defenders miss or has the ability to quickly cut back against the grain and change direction. Only a marginal blocker.ANALYSIS: Though he's been Northwestern's top running back the past two seasons, Wright has the skills and body type to make the move to a full-time receiver position. At the very least he should be a terrific third-down back as either a pass-catcher or ball carrier. The ability to be effectively placed at several spots in the offense will make him hard to cut next September and could get him drafted in the middle rounds.PROJECTION: Early Fourth Round I like Wright, but much like former N'western players Damien Anderson and Darnell Autry I don't think he'll amount to much in the NFL.

It's true that you never know but Gado didn't have a back as good as Harrison to beat out and Shanahan just doesn't want Tatum to start (same could happen to Harrison I suppose and he could get Tatum'd).I didn't see Gado as a starter last year, or Mike Bell as a starter this year either.

This quote pertains to Wright beating out Green and Suggs for the backup rb behind Droughns and Harrison.

Footballguy
NFL.com and the Browns official website lists Harrison as the 2nd rb behind Droughns.
Well, it was only announced today, so it might take a day or so to update the website's official depth charts.

I didn't catch that announcement. Who made the announcement?

So the article claims Wright won a position on the team as a backup rb over Green or Suggs. It really does not specify if he is 2nd or 3rd on the depth chart. It can be interpreted both ways and based on their playing time in the preseason I'll take my chances that Harrison will see a lot more time than Wright. I guess we'll find out on Sunday.
What part of "Jason Wright won the backup running back spot" is so hard to understand?
True- didn't read it that way at first. Interesting... I suppose we'll see tomorrow.

Backup to Droughns and Harrison who Savage clearly described as emerging. Droughns is on record talking about the competition Harrison has brought for the #1 spot. Wright beat out Suggs and Green, that's what this whole quote is about, "We chose dependability over pure ability." Wright for his dependability backs up Harrison and Droughns who both distanced themselves very early in camp. If you followed the Browns for the last month, Savage meaning is crystal clear.
That's how I read it, but I'm going to leave the thread title as it being unclear since there seems to be a difference of opinion here.
Harrison did not "lose" the backup RB role - he never had it.
The Browns staff have always maintained that Jerome Harrison will NOT be the backup to Reuben Droughns. With William Green gone, Jason Wright appears to have the role. But Harrison has always been slated to be the 3rd down back. Vickers is slated to possibly be the goalline back, FYI.

People pay too much attention to something written on a page.
Harrison is a rookie with great running skills, but has to learn the other aspects of the game - and prove that at 200 lbs, he can pick up a blitz.
That said, it doesnt matter who is on top of the depth chart, to a degree. If Droughns goes down, or struggles, then you need to ask yourself - which of these backs on the roster have enough talent to seize the starting opportunity.
Because regardless of where a guy is on the depth chart, if the Browns need a starter, then whomever produces out of Wright and/or Harrison will get the nod.
If you feel that the consistency of Wright would hold off the talent of Harrison, that is your guy.
I have Harrison stashed on my bench, and unless there is a nice WW pickup, will keep him there because he has enough talent to MAKE something out of an opportunity if Droughns sucks or gets hurt.
But for the short term, Wright would likely get the immediate carries. In a month? Who do you think is the better back, that will answer the question (I think Harrison., personally)

Seeing how Wright is INACTIVE this week, I think we know who the backup is.

Are you saying the backup is Harrison or Vickers?

The "Inactive" part.
