His name sounds nerdy.
Does he wear bowties?
Bust.
How many white LBs do they want? Damn.
he is nerdy

:-D(http://images.nfl.com/images/draft/2007/mugs/bradley_stewart.jpg) :-D
I love this pick, just because IGY will probably kill himself. Seriously though this kid is pretty athletic, they were interviewing him on NFL Radio and he could dunk a basketball when he was in only 9th grade. He of course is from Salt Lake City.
Mayock just jizzed talking about how solid a Sam he's going to be at this level. I cant believe IGY is going to off himself.
This will be playing when Stewie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw) makes a play.
Another white linebacker? Seriously I hate this team.
He's white, looks goofy, is one inch shorter than me, and weighs the same.
I could be an Eagles OLB if I wanted to. We're like interchangable.
Be it white, black, yellow, red, or even Turkish, any LB drafted by the Eagles is going to blow.
Quote2005: Missed the final seven games after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee
seems like a perfect fit.
White LB. Two First Names. Injured. Funny looking.
I'm surprised they didn't trade up to get him. Oh wait, they did trade for that pick!

Excellent.
Durability issues always surface when the Eagles draft players. Healthy players don't provide enough of a challenge for the Eagles.
This guy actually sounds like Ryan Fowler with an injury history. So the Eagles got Ryan Fowler for a discount; whether that is good or bad is for you to decide.
Day 1 in TC, the Vets better shave this freakshow's head.

hey, all the signs were there!
FWIW, ESPN thought he was a 2nd-round talent, and he's now a year removed from the injury like Spikes is. He adds depth, I guess...
One of these years they have to get a good LB via draft, right?
ONly good thing about this?
Gocong and Bradley at SLB mean no mo' double nickel banjo icehole

Quote87. Philadelphia (from Dallas) — Stewart Bradley, LB Nebraska: After starting off as a small defensive end, he turned into a big linebacker who can play inside or out. He's projected to play on the strong-side, but he might be more suited for the middle with good instincts and football smarts. After starting out as a special teamer, he'll work his way on the field.
The Eagles are really 4 deep at SAM now, seeing as they consider Tank Daniels a SAM.
The good news from day 1 of this draft is that it spells a possible end to the runs of Jerome McDougle & Dhani Jones.

It's amazing how they set us up to accept almost anything.
At least this LB was projected to go anywhere from late 2nd to ealry 4th round by the so called experts. Matt McCoy went to 2-3 rounds too high.
His measurables are actually pretty impressive when compared to some of the higher rated LBs

I would be happy if Andy Reid lumbered his big fat ass out there and replaced Dhani. I hate that bitch.
And this pick isn't terrible! Look at this way: If Gocong (who was a DE converted to a LB) sucks balls at LB they have him play DE, if Gocong pans out at LB, they add 79 pounds of "ripped" muscle to Bradley in the mythical, and awesome conditioning program (which turns average white boys, Considine as an example, into musclebound cyborgs) and convert him to DE. Converting is fun, and makes great football sense.
Anyway, all I care about in the end is it converts Dhani to playing air banjo in the street for change.

Your tune would change if either or both of them were black. Belee dat.
negative dunny....abarimani was a bad pick too...and hes darker than africa
i just find it funny that the gocong travesty is now ok because bradley is the new heir apparent to dhani
in almost a decade of drafting now andy reid has picked three front seven playmakers burgess simon and cole...then a ton of just brutal picks...and this is mostly because they refuse to select athletes...instead going for solid high wonderlic citizens....its just mind boggling
Actually, I think the ideal situation is that Gocong and Bradley eventually share the spot. Gocong was great at getting after the QB in college but needs to work on playing "standing up" as a linebacker. Bradley would probably be a better guy to have in on running downs or in non-blitz passing situations.
Naturally, that's ideal. You could very well be correct and they both suck and are wastes of 3rd rounders.

Do you really think anyone here gives two shteins who replaces Dhani?
Whether it's Gocong or Stewie... doesn't matter in the least.
People are just hoping that the chances of Dhani starting at SAM or even making the team just went down a little more.

All this talk about Gocong and Stewart playing SAM...I guess that means the Eagles plan on starting Spikes at WIL instead of Gaither?
Spike has said a few time he wants to play Wil, i'm fine with that and McCoy backing him up, Trotter and Gaither at MLB, Bradley/Gocong Sams

JJ has said that in the Daily News today. Spikes is going to WIL & they are moving Gaither to the middle in a role similar to what Shawn Barber played. He also stated that he's going to be pushing Trotter for the job.
Eh, okay I guess. I liked Gaither at WIL, and I think the best trio to have on the field at any one time would have been Gaither-Trotter-Spikes.
I remember reading a comment that the Eagles are open bringing back Emmons after the draft and I wouldn't be surprised to see him come in a veteran safety-valve at SAM.

i cant believe you really believe this...it doesnt matter who replaces him?...for real?
imo thats pretty ignorant...is the standard so low that we are happy with anyone replacing dhani...i cant get behind that line of thinking...i want a great replacement...so yes it does matter...because dhani stinks shouldnt let the eagles get away with making retarded draft choices...
besides theres no guarantee that gocong and/or bradley are better than dhani

In a word: Yes.
thats a defeatest attitude and i wont accept it....now get in time out
I can't imagine a SAM making fewer impact plays than Dhani.
Who is this Dhani character you keep talking about?
Quote from: ice grillin you on April 30, 2007, 02:29:38 PM

I would place a wager that either Stewie or King Cong get to the QB at least once this year, or blow up at least one running play. They may even have a pass defensed. If that happens on live TV, and someone actually sees it, Stewie/Cong > Dhani all day and all night.
This is depending on them being genetically combined into some freakish long-haired waterboy hippy with slanty eyes and good "bubbles".

Hmm....does Hawking have the brain controlled wheel chair or not?
Not that either answer would make him worse than Dhani, just that it would change his playing style, and sound of the "impact".
Anna Nicole Smith rode Hawking like a go-cart. She only whore-danced with the banjo playing flag.
Therefore Hawking > Bowtie.
Simple really.
I would place a wager that either Stewie or King Cong get to the QB at least once this year, or blow up at least one running play.
perhaps...but you might also see TE's running wild all over the field...i mean seriously can you see chris gocong trying to keep up with even the slowest of TE's...i 100% would rather have dhani than gocong at sam...as for bradley ill reserve all judgement until i see him more but lets just say expectations arent exactly thru the roof and i cant see him playing much this year anyway
igy are you serious? I can understand not liking the guy. You're basically saying Chris Gocong is really slow, when that really couldnt be further from the truth.
he runs in the 4.7's which is way to slow for my liking at OLB...and his body is just not that of a OLB...i couldnt believe how pudgy and doughy looking he was at training camp last year...he couldnt move...
now maybe hes spent the offseason gettin deisel and hes gonna come back with a new body who knows...its really not his fault tho hes just isnt imo a linebacker...no matter how much the eagles try to hammer the triangle into the round hole
I saw Gocong at the draft day party, he looked solid, not pudgy.
Did he have nice bubble?
he actually did...a very nice one
Straight line speed for a LB means little, although it isnt like it is completely worthless. All of his agility drills were comparable to DeMarcus Ware and Merriman. I'm not saying he's in their class athletically, because obviously he's not, but he's really fast/quick in his own right.
heres a scouting page on bradley that has reviews of him from several different sources including some nfl scouts
http://ncaafootball.aolsportsblog.com/2007/04/26/college-eye-for-the-nfl-guy-stewart-bradley/
1. 40 times mean jack shtein. They should either a] do away with them or b] make them run in pads. When does a 40 time come into play during a game? Maybe when a return guy has a clean lane and thats it. Even for RBs and WRs it doesn't mean shtein.
2. If Gocong or Bradley can cover, then its fine. Dhani couldn't cover, he couldn't take on blockers and he couldn't do anything else. Trotter said to Gargano that he would constantly tell Dhani to just eat up blockers and he wouldn't do it. And go back and look how JJ ran his coverages when Emmons was here versus what he had to do with Dhani - Emmons would line up against the TE many times. Eventually, once JJ figured it out, he had to start putting Dawk or LEwis in there to help or just letting a safety cover the TE by themselves.
So lets see how the cracka's do. It cannot be any worse than the intellectual shteinbag
dhani was solid in coverage....his problem was he couldnt get into the backfield and couldnt get to the ball carrier in general and when he did he tackled like a wet sponge

You missed my point.
We all want a whole lot more than what we were getting from Dhani. My point is that no one here cares whether it's Gocong that gives us more or if it's Stewie that gives us more. Just that the position improves.
There's no more allegiance to Gocong than there is now to Bradley... as long as
someone steps in and plays well, or at least provides some noticeable improvement over the bowtie.

You must be in a great mood this morning because "solid" is being extremely generous. How solid could he have been if like Phreak said, JJ regulary either gave him safety help or just put a safety over the TE altogether?

theres very few sams in the nfl that dont need help covering TE's...thats why TE's are receivers and linebakers are tacklers...linebackers arent made to run all over the field chasing pass catchers...the eagles were spoiled with emmons he was phenominal in coverage...dhani was sufficient in pass coverage...and if you think he wasnt then wait till chris gocong is running around the field with jeremy shockey

Quote from: EagleFeva on May 01, 2007, 09:20:38 AM
Question: How can you be so sure that Gocong and/or Bradley can't do the job?
Because he's IGY, prodigy of the great Chris Steuber.
Back on topic a bit, has anyone ever seen the dude play? Have video?
The only thing I saw was when Mayock was breaking him down and he was steady blowing up FBs in the running lane. Big dude. Mayock didn't show too much video of him making plays in space, but he did have a nice clip of Stewie flowing to the ball on a run to the outside, shedding a guard and drilling the back.
Question: How can you be so sure that Gocong and/or Bradley can't do the job?
im not 100% sure on bradley...granted i dont like at all what ive read and seen from him but he could easily be a player and prove me wrong
as for gocong ive stated many times why i dont think theres a chance in hell he can play that position
the sam position is hard enough to master if its your natual slot...i dont see a div II DE converting to nfl sam...i also dont like at all what i saw of him in camp last year (granted one weekends worth of practices)...both in body type and the way he moved
Because he's IGY, prodigy of the great Chris Steuber.
i absolutely dont know as much as steuber...unless hes a bold faced liar and doesnt actually study players...but the fact that he sees more of players as he should beign that its his "job' then he knows more
i read up on and watch a player then make a judgement on him...and if i see the guy i know just as much as heckert reid kiper mayock ect...and if stueber or you or feva or sun or pg or ff see the guy they know just as much as me...this isnt rocket science...any idiot can grade a football player provided you know his measurables and have seen him play
It's so funny how much enjoyment people here get from busting IGY's balls. He speaks in hyperbole but his point is dead farging on.
You ask how he knows that Bradley/Gocong can't get the job done. How do any of you know that they CAN get it done? Neither of them have EVER seen ANY playing time in the NFL. For all intents and purposes they are both rookies and the coaches are just throwing them in as starters. The excitement everyone is displaying about that situation makes no sense to me.

You're making my point for me.
I'm not saying they can or they can't do the job. Infact, IGY's the only one speaking in definites and that's what I have the problem with.
I don't give a shtein if he, you or anyone else thinks they can't play worth a damn. All I ask is to have something more than a hunch to sound so sure about it one way or the other.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Emmons a converted DE?
i never said a DE couldnt convert to LB just that gocong cant
emmons played linebacker and DE in college
emmons also is 6-5 240's and smooth as butter
gocong is like 265 and doughy
i dont know about you but i dont want a 265 lb converted div II DE playing sam....if gocong ends up being a productive edge rusher in the elague then great altho i even question that...but as for being a linebacker im sorry its just not there...
Infact, IGY's the only one speaking in definites and that's what I have the problem with.
i dont see the big deal....i feel strongly about it...if you feel as tho the guy is gonna be a big time player you should say the same
it has much more to do with me saying an eagle player sucks than it does my speaking in definites...when i speak in definites about an eagle player in a positive way i dont hear any uproar from the peanut gallery
I think the odds that Dhani would be an above average SAM for the Eagles this year are 0%.
The odds that the new starter, either Gocong or Bradley, will be above average are more like 10%.
I'll take it.

So? Whats his play got to do with pointing out that Dhani sucked? None of us are NFLers and we point out he sucks, why can't a guy who lines up next to him come out and say it?
And IGY, did I read you say that Jones was solid in coverage? Crazy talk.

it would go a long way in gaining himself some respectability and he might even pass the look test if he did...at least hed give himself a chance to...

Reggie Brown shaved it off. Donovan grew it out. Tough call.
donovan has never passed the look test and look where hes gonna end up
reggie passed it when he cut the braids and ceased looking like that cornball michael holley...since then hes played better
i think people severly underestimate how important the look test is...can you pass the look test and not be as good a player you should...sure...but if you dont pass the look test youre basically farged...

call him out in person but as a teammate or ex teammate i dont like it when players talk about other players.
sort of like "ohh ok now hes gone so let me talk crap about him". we all know he sucks we dont need trotter to tell us that.
trotter could have just used a andy line and said "he did a good job for us".

At least he looks angry. I like what i've read about Gocong looking good. It will be nice if that actually works out, and Bradley becomes a player.

Les Bowen: Further Review: Eagles linebacker Bradley manages speedy defense
By Les Bowen
Philadelphia Daily News
Daily News Sports Columnist
STEWART BRADLEY, the Eagles' new middle linebacker, played every snap Sunday. The coaches' film review credited him with nine solo tackles, four assists, a sack, a tackle for a loss, and two pass breakups.
Lots of stuff went well for the Eagles in a 38-3 thrashing of the Rams, but Bradley's play in the middle might have been the most reassuring thing defensive coordinator Jim Johnson saw.
"I thought he did a great job handling the defense," Johnson said the day after his first regular-season experience with the NFL's new defensive-signal helmet-transmitter system. Bradley was connected with Johnson the whole game, until the system stopped working on the Rams' final drive, when it hardly mattered. "He was very productive, you know? He had a good day ... He was very active."
As you've read here before, at 6-4, 255, Bradley offers Jeremiah Trotteresque size, along with quickness that Trot's aching knees didn't allow him to match his last few years here. Last year's third-round draft choice from Nebraska would seem to have almost everything but experience. Of course, we don't know yet if he has Trotter's extraordinary heart.
Johnson doesn't want to make any extravagant claims for his defense after one game, but the opener reinforced something he has been thinking since minicamps.
"It seems like to me we're a lot quicker than we have been," he said. "I just think I see more speed out there, in the secondary and in the linebackers. That's the biggest thing I see, a lot more speed."
Bradley called the game "a benchmark - you saw what we were capable of on defense."
He is a confident fellow, but he wanted to reassure Johnson that the defensive adjustments were in good hands.
"That's the No. 1 guy I've got to keep happy, with running the defense," Bradley said yesterday. With Bradley taking the middle, Omar Gaither has moved to the weakside. Chris Gocong remains the strongside starter.
"I think we [linebackers] played downhill, we played pretty fast," Bradley said. "[The Rams] shift a lot, so that puts stress on you to be in the right spot at the beginning of the play."
Bradley said playing every snap wasn't that big a deal - the Rams ran just 45 plays.
Developing story lines
* Andy Reid confirmed that he wants to use defensive tackle Dan Klecko (who managed one of the Birds' four sacks Sunday) at least a little as a goal-line fullback, as he did on the 1-yard TD run by Tony Hunt. When the Eagles tried Klecko as a fulltime fullback, last spring, they were disappointed with his open-field pass-receiving prowess, but he can knock somebody down just fine, in close quarters.
* Jim Johnson said it was too early to talk about how he plans to defend Terrell Owens. In last year's second meeting, Johnson put Lito Sheppard on Owens, with incredible results - T.O. caught two passes for 37 yards in a 10-6 Eagles victory. "They're moving T.O. around a little bit more than last year," was all Johnson would venture yesterday.
* The upcoming game will be the Eagles' final visit to Texas Stadium, unless they go there for a playoff game. Dallas moves into its new home next season.
* The breakdown on the corner rotation: Jim Johnson said Asante Samuel was on for 41 plays against the Rams, Sheldon Brown 34 and Lito Sheppard 31.
* Andy Reid made an interesting admission about the Birds' 2007 red-zone woes: It wasn't just that they didn't have a healthy L.J. Smith most of the year. Reid said when he and the coaching staff reviewed the tape of the season, they decided they could have done more with the tight ends than they had, particularly Brent Celek, who was then a rookie. "We didn't use that position enough," Reid said. If the opener is any indication, that won't be the case this year. Smith caught five passes for 39 yards and a touchdown against the Rams, despite a couple of drops. Celek caught two more passes, for 15 yards, in a very limited role.
* This DeSean Jackson kid is a godsend to the legions of people who have old Koy Detmer jerseys hanging in their closets. All you need is a new name strip across the back. You say you don't have an old Koy Detmer jersey? Oh, well. The thing is, Detmer and Jackson aren't built all that differently. Yet somehow, they don't resemble one another when running.
Obscure stat
The Rams possessed the ball 11 times Sunday. They punted 10 times and kicked one field goal, en route to compiling 166 net yards, 77 of them coming on passes to tight end Randy McMichael, who had five receptions.
Who knew?
That the Eagles could gain 414 passing yards, and get 413 of them from receivers not named Brian Westbrook?
Extra point
Usually, when Andy Reid responds to a question by saying he's "not going to get into all that," I find it frustrating. Yesterday, I was relieved.
The Eagles' next game is at Dallas, and the question was about whether Reid felt he could have done anything differently in the handling of the T.O. situation.
Reid reacted to being asked this better than I would have, which is to say he didn't yell "AIIIEEEE!!" and run out of the NovaCare auditorium waving his arms.
"He's doing great right now," Reid said of Terrell Owens, after declining to serve up one more helping of rehash. "He's happy and he's playing good football, and that's all right."
Here's what I was thinking:
It was 3 FREAKING YEARS AGO.
The Eagles have played the Cowboys TWICE A YEAR ever since. Do we have to do this every time they play? Forever?
Note to editors: Insert photo of long-dead horse being flogged here.
If we're going to talk about that this week, how about we chew over the draft-day booing of Donovan McNabb in depth one more time? Didn't people here once throw snowballs at Santa or something? I heard that somewhere. Let's discuss!
Farg him, I'm getting a Koy Detmer jersey and not changing the name on it.
If Bradley keeps playing like he did Sunday, I won't get to see much of Joe Mays. Which, really, I don't mind all too much.
Stewart Singletary
Another homerun! Boy you sure are visionary. Dick.

its his racist side
the racist convienantly leaves out the parts where i said he couldnt play sam and how i was tongue in cheek saying how bad a pick he was because of his lol embarssing draft picture before i ever saw him play
he also forget to post where i said bradley would be moved to mlb and could be a solid player there which is what he is
hes a very sure tackler but he still makes bad mistakes like on petersons td run sunday but thankfully they are correctable ones unlike gocong who just isnt suited to be doing what hes doing...my favorite play of the vikes game was when he got his head absolutely slingshotted backwards by ap and still made a real solid tackle
its okay IGY, i sponsored the hawaiian FB who i can't even remember his name

Yeah, that was great. You really get just how hard he got rocked when they showed it back in slo mo. He should have been knocked out cold.
when it happened at real speed me and my man just looked at each other in silence for like three seconds and i was like was that someones head?...he was i think so yes who the farg was that?
on first viewing it was like a flash of light that you thought you saw but werent sure and were like holy shtein
The LB core has played better as the season progressed, and Akeem Jordan has been much more active than Gaither.
Now, if you could replace any of them with someone that can make more big plays, go for it, but at least they're holding their own out there for now.
bradley is fine...jordan has played well much better than gaither at his best when everyone was on his nuts for simply being better than matt mccoy but i still wanna see more akeem before annointing him a full time starter
gocong can and should be replaced
Prince Akeem has played well for sure. I thought he would end up sucking since his first extended action was in the first Giants game when he got trucked by Jacobs. But that was unfair because a lot of people get run over by him.
Bradley has done real well. I think I saw igy mention it, but the tackle he made after getting his neck bent and smoked was pretty funny. And he's playing with a busted rib too.
Hahahahahahaha. WTF? (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/peter_king/01/06/all-pro-team/index.html?bcnn=yes)

wtf
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a nice solid player and he doesn't screw up very often and I'm happy enough with him being back there, but come on. What does he have 1 int and 1 sack this year? He isn't exactly a world beater.

Yeah, you clearly were only talking about his photo.
What did you expect with the pick of a white linebacker?
Quote from: ice grillin you on April 23, 2010, 10:42:37 PM
never ever bitched about bradley...just made fun of his college photo
But, he sounded so certain. Frankly, I'm hurt that he would deceive us like this and want answers.
the pick was bad at the time because i didnt want bradley at SAM which would have been a travesty and where he was thought to be going when drafted....once he was meant to be a mlb i was fine with him
plus that college photo was maybe the biggest look test fail ever
He had some competition with Celek in that department.
Officially cleared for practice (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=21001)
good news.
next bump will be his knee ripped again
chances btwn 1-10
at least one of bradley or HOF ingram doesnt reinjure a knee
both bradley and HOF ingram reinjure knees
neither bradley or HOF ingram reinjure a knee
my answer is ricky sapp-10

Is it possible to both pass and fail the look test at the same time?
