Now-retired Pro Bowl linebacker spent nine of those seasons alongside Wilson as the two reached consecutive Super Bowls, coming out on top in XLVIII to conclude the 2013 season.After Wilson had the worst season of his career with lows in completion percentage (60.5%, 31st in ), pa sing touchdowns (16, tied for 19th), and pa ser rating (84.4), the quickly dispatched of head coach J.P. Holtz Jersey Nathaniel Hackett in Wilson's first season in Colorado. His replacement is future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees' mentor, Sean Payton. Wilson's old teammate is unsure how that duo will mesh as a quarterback-head coach tandem because of the relationship dynamic Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had with Wilson."This the Wilson and Payton partnership in Denver is going to be a sight to see because for 10 years Coach Carroll did a good job of, I'm not going to say protecting Ru s, but he shielded him like 'hey, the defense is going to be the lead Alex Bars Jersey dog, you're going to hand the ball off to ,'" Wright said on NFL Network's "" on Thursday.

Can Ru s handle the critique, the harshne s, the 'hey, you have to better and I'm calling you out in front of the entire football team?' I'm sure Nathaniel Hackett wasn't a Sean Payton-type of personality." While the only way to find out is to see it live starting September, Wright's personal testimony certainly casts some doubt about how the two Super Bowl champions will mesh.
