  • The only problem with Gocong was that he doesn't have the speed to go to the sideline. He steps in a gap he is money which is why he was great in goal line situations. He should have always played on the short side of the field to make up for this fact but the problem was Fujita and Miava arn't any faster so it doesn't matter.

    Ruining threads since 1897.

  • Guys it was a lot worse last year when Hodges tore his Achilles

  • Ugh....5 of 22 now rookies

  • Did I hear right that GoCong is out for the season? Crap. But the Browns will have a couple of guys to step in.

    well seeing as there were 14 LBs picked before we got JLJ you tell me.

    Pick out the 3-4 outside linebackers from that number and shoot it back this way.

    so an ILB can't play the OLB position? an OLB can't play as a DE? a WR can't play the QB position?

    wow. you've got GMs past and present rolling around in their graves.

    you're a gem.

  • Fuck it.

    Cribbs you're our new OLB.

    Correct. Like Gocong was Pro Bowl material? Hardly. Not like the Browns run defense was stellar last year. Bring in the young guys.

  • Maybe theyll be a cut or 2 that can provide depth and form a rotation for the year. No much to be done at this point....

  • Gocong is serviceable at best, he has many holes in his game and is easy to exploit so i believe you can grab about any notable undrafted LB and by mid season have a better player than gocong at his best..

    The same goes for fujita the guy is barely serviceable and after the 3 game suspension the rookie johnson will be permanently taking his job and fujita knows it...

    H&H are under heavy pressure to win now and impress jimmy haslam and having guys like fujita and gocong manning the OLB positions as starters will not help them get there..

    They need to take some calculated chances @ OLB and make it pay off big..

    We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!
    👍

  • Holmgren knows he is on his way out regardless if they win now..

    His position was useless, I guess it gave him time to concentrate on his weight

  • JMJ - this kid should be exciting to watch. When GoCong came out of college, he was a quick, undersized college DE.

    He impressed a lot of folks at the combine. But, now that the Browns have at least a little depth at every position,

    it should pay off handsomely.

  • hope he makes a full and quick recovery with no lasting effects.

    with all i've heard about Big Ben being a rapist and i go to a online sex offender registry and look up cleveland and Pittsburgh and what do i find? cleveland has a CRAP load more sex offenders (and expecially child molesters) than Pittsburgh.......over 4X as many over all. 2055 of them to Pittsburgh's 421. www.familywatchdog.us better never hear one of you date raping, can't get a woman with my tiny peep unless i hold her down, child molesting hypocrits say anything else about Ben.

  • I am sure we will make some waiver wire move after cuts start coming in to find another LB unless one of the UDFA really impresses at that position.

  • @mike-h said:

    Positive: He wasn't very good outside of short-yardage situations.

    Negative: There is literally no one else better than him to take his place.

    My thoughts exactly but if Frostee has a good year we should be fine.

  • While the injury is unfortunate, our young LBs will gain invaluable game experience. I choose to dwell on what positives may come from this.

    Between the Taylor & Gocong injuries, we may uncover some gems.

    We'll see.

  • Looking at vet F/As that didn't sign, Brady Poppinga, 32, Rams looks like the best. Someone that could provide depth and compete to start at least for the first three weeks.

    He started last year, made 51 tackles. Was pretty good with the Packers before that.

  • I don't think gocong 64 tackles and 3.5 sacks will be hard to replace

    We should lure Frank ZOMBO from the Packers. Would you lose your shit Z?

    I wouldn't lose my shit, I would buy a shirt!

  • On this Linebacker thing, with Gocong gone the Browns have the following:

    DQ Jackson MLB

    Fujita when he comes back

    Maiava

    The above are the only veterans on the team.

    You also have the draft choices:

    Emmanuale Acho

    James Michael Johnson

    But the Browns also have the following LBs on their roster:

    JoJo Dickson from Idaho

    L.J. Fort of N. Iowa

    Benjamin Jacobs of Fresno St.

    Craig Robertson of N. Texas

    Actually, only 1 of the above is a rookie. The others are second year players that were picked up somewhere along the way.

    Also....question....what about Marcus Bernard? Can he play the OLB position if need be?

    So, the final question, with Gocong's injury: What will the Browns depth chart at LB look like coming out of this? How many will they keep on the roster?
