Strongside linebacker Chris Gocong moves to the middle, while middle linebacker Will Witherspoon moves to the weakside. Rookie Moise Fokou will start for the second straight game on the strongside Sunday because of a knee injury to starter Akeem Jordan.

Seldom-used and oft-injured cornerback Dimitri Patterson will be the nickel back in place of injured Ellis Hobbs (out for the season with neck injury) and suspended Joselio Hanson (four games for use of banned substance).

Second-year Quintin Demps replaces Hobbs as the primary kickoff returner for the 5-3 Eagles.

God not Demps as a CB!

That guy is a f*cking phony. Except on special teams, he’s pretty solid there

Patterson was supposed to a special teams ace, not a guy we wanted in the secondary.

Even if these dudes weren’t injured, they’d still be underachieving. That’s what I’m really tired of always happening to us: this culture of underacheiving — and accepting it — that Reid fosters.

Patterson played well in the preseason and is the sole reason that Jack ended up being cut.

At least Sean is being creative.

That generally creates an atmosphere of excitement and makes everyone pay attention to detail and get on the same page. Adversity can bring out the best in people.
This weekend will tell us more about Gocong than all the JIBTA posts in the world. I have been a big Gocong supporter since we drafted him. Loved what he brings to the table: Size and Speed and a pedigree similar to Westbrook’s but on the other side of the ball coming out of college.
He is super smart, but I want to see if he can be super-nasty. This week he can attack more than from the outside so, like I said on another post:
If he doesn’t have at least 10 tackles and a sack or a couple TFL’s then I will forever shut up about him.
But if he looks like a monster this week, then you heard it here first.
