In prime-time triumph, Browns secondary becomes a primary strength

John Kuntz/The Plain DealerBrowns defensive backs Eric Wright (front) and Brodney Pool (left) wave off an Eli Manning pass intended for the Giants' Steve Smith during Monday's game. The strong performance by the secondary helped to ease concerns about the unit which have lingered since training camp.
Going into the season, questions about the Browns' defense focused mostly on the secondary in general and the youth and inexperience at cornerback in particular. Yet through six games, the Browns rank third in the league with nine interceptions and eight have been by cornerbacks or safeties. That's a pace for 24. The most they've had in three previous seasons under coach Romeo Crennel was 18 in 2006.
Eric Wright, who leads the Browns with three, earned AFC defensive player of the week honors after returning an Eli Manning interception 94 yards for a touchdown in the Browns' 35-14 romp over the defending champion New York Giants on Monday night.
Cornerback Brandon McDonald and safety Brodney Pool also picked off Manning, who had thrown only one interception in his four previous games.
"I was just thinking ... how excellent those DBs were, especially how patient those safeties were," Washington coach Jim Zorn said on a conference call Wednesday. "I just think that if a ball is in the air, they have the attitude of getting it."

Zorn, a former NFL quarterback and quarterbacks coach, added, "I'm partial to quarterbacks, but you have to be accurate in this league."
