Chris Gocong, Philadelphia Eagle

[General_Failure]

his parents have...his friends

That girl he felt up at the prom.

[hunt]

the guy played nosetackle & DE in college and he's gonna be our SAM?   

special teamer...book it!

You are the most miserable SOB I've ever met.

hah! 
nobody on here ever heard of this guy before...he played exclusively on the d-line against garbage competition in college & suddenly everybody loves him at SAM?
bunkley & justice were very good picks but c'mon.

Yes he did play on the line, but according to Reid and Heckert he played a lot from the standing position. 

well, they picked him...seems like more of a 3-4 olb, imo.

Alot of people here have heard of him. I have. Phreak has.

stop it.
at most, you saw his name listed on a couple mocks.

Actually, I read up on him quite a bit. goeagles99 mentioned him awhile ago and I started looking into him as a SAM LB. HIm and Clint Ingram.

yeah, but fortunately she couldn't pick him out of a police lineup

All you could muster up to say about Bunkley was that they were scrambling to fill Simon's fat farging shoes.

are you referring to the joke i posted earlier, oh perceptive one?

Dude, you've been miserable on this board for so long now, its impossible to tell if you are whining about something or making a joke.

for you...yes, it is impossible.

Apparently Reid said in his PC that the Patriots were trying to trade up to get him at the spot behind the Eagles. So he wouldve been a Patriot had the Birds not taken him.

If Belichek wanted him you know he is a good player.

Spads on Gocong:

We're digitizing a DVD on him ... he's UNREAL ... I don't even care who the competition is .. I'm speechless. When it goes up, check it out. I see why the Eagles drafted him. Unreal, and I'm totally serious. Wait until you see the speed.

[Feva]

The more I see and read... the more I'm loving this pick.


I'm getting chub at the idea that this could be the end of the bowtie at SAM.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'm telling you, this was a good ass pick.

Even though I wanted STovall there, I will take this and like it.

We all spoke about the Eagles needing playmakers and they got two on defense today.

And the defense needed help.

The DL is now a monster. And if Gocong can flip to SLB and contribute some of that speed off the edge...Jesus Christ of latter day saints...Jim Johnson will have endless possibilities.

Speed + getting after the QB = great day

I had Gocong as a 4th rounder in the Eagles mock contest. After all star games and the combine, I heart Gocong.

For Hunt, Tedy Bruschi was a DE at Arizona and I believe held the Div 1-A record for sacks, but made a smooth transition to LB. Gocong has similar size and skills. Watch the LB drills from the combine where they had some DEs work. He's better than Dhani and will make more plays today. IMO, Justice will have the opportunity to compete for LG to get him on the field. I think the Eagles came out of the first day with 3 starters that will be upgrades. I'm ecstatic about their whole draft so far.

I don't know anything about this Gocong, so I'm not going to hype him.  Hope he works out.  We'll see.

[Geowhizzer]

I don't know anything about any of them other than what I've read the past few weeks.  What I hear sounds good to me!
