Gocong

First, I have to confiscate these words: Mentor, experienced, and needs. You have been abusing these words, and have almost worn them out. You will be allowed to use these words only when you have learned to respect them and not overuse them.

OK now: I remember hoping that the Browns would draft Gocong in the middle rounds. I'd thought that the Eagles would make him a situational DE, but they actually tried to make him a 4-3 OLB.

That's amazing. Also amazing is the fact that he did OK in that role, and actually started.

Gocong is much much better suited to being a 3-4 linebacker (outside or inside). His only weakness in Philly's system was in coverage.

In college, Gocong had not only a bunch of sacks, but also a plethora of TFL's--he was extremely disruptive as a DE. Has a great nose for the ball and the wheels to get there.

IF he comes to Cleveland, OLB will be loaded and neck-deep. Gocong is a starter in this scheme, and his experience in Philly's system will be a huge benefit. They turned him into a REAL linebacker--a complete player.

The Browns don't need two Jerome Harrisons, unless the other home-run hitting little guy is taken LATE in the draft. Please stop trying to waste the Browns high picks on redundant players.

Best available is one thing, but Rodney Hillisfield IS the big back, ok? He's a backup fullback here, but will be heavily in the running back rotation. Denver was loaded at running back and hadn't exposed this Jerome Bettis type enough. He was a steal, and the Browns are now loaded at running back/fullback.

As I mentioned earlier, the rest of the NFL is gearing to stop the pass. The Browns are going to overpower these defenses. Let them keep thinking they can outscore the infantry. Ask Rex Ryan's brother what he thinks of that.

YOU STAND CORRECTED.
