Go back to your coma or back to the county lock up; wherever you were when you weren't around here.
Doesn't this guy already have a thread?
Truth hurts!!
Face the facts. AR and Heckert have long range plans. They are not swayed by BS hype and press clippings. They don't genuflect to Kiper and the other so called experts. They do the due dilligence. They have been very sucessful in the draft.

It's locked down!
you got me....he wasnt the worst pick EVER
now please stop posting and bring your racist rants to another board
I see padded rooms and lithium pills in stalker's future.
how does joe banners penis taste?
I still think he'd be better suited at DE
But he shows up and plays. That's the plan. No team can have 22 pro bowlers (the yankees are a baseball team). He is a way more than serviceable OLB. Fits the scheme well. As far as the not having 22 probowlers; have you guys ever read some of the comments on the PE.com site? They actually have retards posting there. One guy thinks the birds should tradr for Brandon Jacobs, Randy Moss (or someone better), and Bob Sanders! A real post! How can anyone even read that drivel?
So you are saying Drafting Ryan Moats was a better pick than grabbing Jacobs a round later?
Of course not. But the draft is always a crap shoot. I have no idea what a good batting average would be. 20% correct, 30, 60, 10? It's hard to quantify. And Moats was one of our MVPs in week 17!
Homertastic
All i wanted was Frank Gore, but he went early in the 2nd, Jacobs would have clearly made more sense, but they wanted to try and threaten Westbrook by getting a guy who scored a 10 on wonderlics and didnt know plays in college other than when he was handed the ball, to run
Still not a big fan of Gocong. He hasn't been awful this year, but at the same time you don't see him making plays either. I want a LB who goes out and just disrupts like Harrison on Pitt who the Eagles could've drafted.
If not for Kolb and trading down.
LOL, he was undrafted and bounced around, but you knew he was DPOY from way back right King
My fault I said Harrison but meant Woodley. My mistake.
BEREA, Ohio - Chris Gocong finally is going to get to do something that he seldom got to do in his four seasons with the Eagles.
Rush the passer.
"Every year, I would take my reps at it and they would have plans to do it," said Gocong, who was traded to the Browns in April along with cornerback Sheldon Brown for linebacker Alex Hall. "Then we'd get to the game and we never really got around to it. I wouldn't say it was disappointing, but it was frustrating."
The 6-2, 263-pound Gocong was a pass-rushing defensive end at Cal Poly, whom most scouts projected as a 3-4 rush linebacker in the NFL. But he was drafted by the Eagles in the third round of the '07 draft and converted into a run-stopping strongside linebacker in their 4-3 scheme.
Jim Johnson always talked about using Gocong as a blitzer, but that seldom happened, as evidenced by his four career sacks.
But there he was the other night, blowing through the middle on a blitz and hammering Rams quarterback A.J. Feeley just as he was throwing a pass. Feeley ended up spraining his thumb on the play.
"I was pretty much the run-stopper in Philly, and I came here and they said, 'Sic 'em.' So I'm happy,' he said.
Gocong is playing in the scheme that fits him best, a 3-4. The Browns have moved him inside because of his run-stopping ability. But he'll get plenty of opportunities to rush the passer.
"I think he's going to be one of our top players," Browns general manager Tom Heckert said. "This scheme is better for him. Most people think he's an outside 3-4 rusher, but I think he's going to be really, really good [inside]. He's so big and athletic. He's going to make a lot of plays for us. And we can use him on the outside and rush him. We didn't rush him hardly at all in Philly, for whatever reason. But he'll get the chance here. He's going to rush the passer."
Gocong is coming off a tough year with the Eagles. He was benched by defensive coordinator Sean McDermott late in the season and replaced by seventh-round rookie Moise Fokou.
"To go through that, to be starting for several years and then all of a sudden, to be sitting down, you feel like a rookie," he said. "I was on kickoffs and doing all of that stuff. Whatever. I took it with a grain of salt and tried to do my best running [on] kickoff [coverage] and doing kickoff returns, knowing my time was coming. And here it is."
Gocong thinks his benching had nothing to do with his play last season. "I didn't feel my play dropped off at all last year," he said.
He said the real reason behind his benching was the fact that his contract was up after the season.
"It was understood," he said. "I can't remember the last linebacker they extended. It was expected.
"At the end of the year, they made it clear they didn't want to re-up. So I figured I wouldn't be back. I got here and it's been great so far. I love the defense, love the city. The coaches have been great."
They misused and abused him - blah blah blah. He sucks.
he does suck but that part of the story would carry much more weight if he wasnt replaced by a 7th round rookie who couldnt play at all
just goes back to the eagles not always putting the best players on the field

The reoccurring mid round pick on a questionable d lineman.
