More photos » by Rich Schultz - AP Browse more photos » Last week, due to even more injuries at the already injury plagued LB positions, the Eagles ; fielded a corps of rookie Moise Fokou at SAM, Chris Gocong at MIKE, & Will WItherspoon at WILL. That didn't exactly work out... So this week they'll shuffle the deck once again with Akeem Jordan still out. Chris Gocong moves back to SAM,...

For the second consecutive week, the Eagles will go with a different look at linebacker because of a knee injury to weakside starter Akeem Jordan. Coach Andy Reid ruled out Jordan for Sunday night's game at Chicago. Will Witherspoon will again start at weakside LB, and second-year man Joe Mays will start in the middle. Chris Gocong, who started in the middle in last week's loss to San Diego, will move...

The Philadelphia Eagles are beaten up, and their roster has taken some big hits. For example: Going into the season, here is what their offensive line was projected to look like: RT Stacy Andrews RG Shawn Andrews C Jamal Jackson LG Todd Herremans LT Jason Peters. But Stacy Andrews, a somewhat big free-agent signing, hasn't materialized. Shawn Andrews went on injured reserve with a bad back, and some...

8 games down, 8 to go. If the season ended today, the Eagles would be in the playoffs. I'm trying to decide if the first half of the season so far has been disappointing. On the one hand, we lost extremely winnable games to Dallas and Oakland, but on the other, we had 5 very convincing victories. Let's grade the majority of our players one at a time... Before we critique each player, let's first note...

Injuries and a suspension will force the Philadelphia Eagles to use several players in different roles against the San Diego Chargers. 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...

More photos » by Matt Rourke - AP Browse more photos » As if losing to the Cowboys at home wasn't bad enough, the Eagles now have a lengthy injury list to deal with during the coming week. Probably the most worrisome loss is that of weakside linebacker Akeem Jordan , who suffered a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise. The Eagles have had a very rough season at linebacker so far, and with...

With starting Outside Linebacker and quietly consistent defender Chris Gocong nursing a pair of leg injuries, it is becoming increasingly likely that rookie Moise Fokou will play this Sunday’s game versus the Cowboys as one of the three leading LBs. Fokou was selected in the 7th and final round of this year’s Draft, but surprisingly appeared one of the franchise’s better Linebackers...

Since nobody seems to be stressing the notion that Chris Gocong likely won’t play on Sunday against the Cowboys, allow me to be the worrywart. Gocong will never get the pub that Trent Cole or Asante Samuel does, but that doesn’t make him any less important to the defense. Before Will Witherspoon arrived, Gocong was the [...]

Moise Fokou will start at strongside linebacker this week for the Eagles if Chris Gocong can't go, and Gocong hasn't practiced, after suffering separate hamstring and quad injuries in Sunday's victory over the Giants.
