Watching the Steelers prevail over the Browns Thursday night, I was impressed by Chris Gocong's performance at linebacker for the Browns...and how he almost saved the night for Cleveland before Colt McCoy was knocked senseless by James Harrison...And I wondered... did we give up on Gocong too soon?Chris Gocong... 6-2, 263, 6th year out of Cal Poly...3rd round draft pick in '06... smart guy (biomedical engineering degree)... now playing at a high level for the Browns... Gocong shined his brightest in one of the greatest goal-line stands I've ever witnessed in the Steelers-Browns game... It was a classic combination of reading and reacting with strength by a linebacker... And it should have turned the game around for the Browns, who were trailing 7-3 with 7 minutes to go in the 4th quarter... but Cleveland's inept offense in the face of a fierce Pittsburgh pass rush took care of that momentary Browns' inspiration.It took me back to an interview with Gocong I never ...

  • Nah. The flashes are there, but that type of play from him doesn't come often. The Browns forked over something like 5.6 mil a year and he is a boarderline backup. Take a look at the huge runs (Browns are currently 31st against the run) that the Browns give up and they are all their because the cutback lanes and second level is wide open. RB's constantly get open in the flats because he has a hard time covering.
