^^I love that sig!

[SBbound49ers]

Hes a big guy whos not afraid to attack.

If we didnt have Takeo......

[pepe]

I like Piso but this one isn't a pressing need as we already got Spikes with a new kid backing Spikes up. Let's not have another WR situation here where we keep signing costly veteran players. Rookies ought to be given a better chance.

[SFdiehard]

With a sketchy def...its interesting he'd be let go. Especially now at this time.

[jackacid]

Pisa is not that impressive guys. He has had his ups and downs. His tackle total was more by default than anything game-changing. The Rams have lacked LBs for years and with Spag pulling the strings, he's obviously aware they need to upgrade at almost every position on defense (minus their young DL's in Carriker and Long.)

We don't need a losing team's leftovers.

They just drafted James Laurinaitis from Ohio State. So I am assuming he will either take his place or their LB corps will be moved around, making Pisa expendable.

Surely Pisa could have been a servicable back-up for them though.

Maybe that was a role he would accept, but with their cap room, I can't imagine this was a financially motivated move. Just doesn't make sense to me, but thats why I am not a GM.

Yep, Laurinaitis in the middle and Witherspoon takes Pisa's spot.

[ninerman80]

I think we should we should pass. If the Rams release somebody...can they be all that worthy?

That's kinda like if you saw a bum throwing something away, would you run up to the trash can to see what it is?

Now if it was the Patriots or Giants...It would be like us driving by and noticing someone was having a yard sale in a prominent neibhorhood. You never know...an angry wife might be selling her hubbys set of Callways.

I'm just sayin'.

[cleoent]

my god, our defense would be insane with tino and pw in the middle. They are both tackling MACHINES.

[BrentJones84]

A player from the worst defense in the league is released, and people want to sign him? :slap:

I think that's why we should try and pick him up. McKillop and Ulbrich don't inspire all that much confidence in me if we lose Willis or Takeo. Plus cap room should not be an issue here.

It takes a team to be terrible. You can't blame their inept defense on him.

[NY2ThaBay08]

^^^i agree with you....

the rams suck but you have to blame them as a unit

[mertonhanks36]

__________ should sign him

Sig is awesome maj. ronin ftw.

^^^ACEZ Did A Nice Job On Yours!

[jackacid]

True, but I don't take Brent's comments that way. Pisa has never played well in run support. Tackles mean nothing when they are 3-5+ yards past the line of scrimmage.

There's a reason why he was cut, even my Rams fan buddies will tell you that.

In fact, one of my friend's exact response to this news was "good riddance".

Well, apparently the Rams did blame him, since they released him. :pards:

that's a silly statement. You think if we had released PW after his first season (when our D was atrocious) there wouldn't have been 31 teams ready to sign him? :slap:

you've seen him play right? I don't care how bad the Rams suuuuuuuuuck...Pisa's legit. I'm guessing he just doesn't fit Spag's new scheme. He won't be unemployed for long...

& our Depth behind Willis & Spikes is WEAK! Ulbrich can not get the job done as a starter. Mckillop is a rookie with no experience. Brooks has not played in a few seasons.

AHHAHAHAH!!!

[beasley for pres]

Hmmm, I thought Pisa - Laurinaitis - Witherspoon would have been a decent corp.

I could see him on the Bills, there brought in a few other OLB's in the offseason... Can't see why they wouldn't give him a look.

[SBbound49ers]

Apparently Chris Draft is replacing him. Not much of a dropoff at all.

Notice, the 49ers did NOT release Willis.

[krnbanguboi]

Disregard this thread. It's just a joke. Please delete.

[FinerNiner]

Given the 49ers' lack of depth at LB, the recently-released Pisa Tinoisamoa would be a solid pickup. He's quick, knows the division, and should be healthier if he's not an every-down player. He would probably be our top backup OLB from day 1. If nothing else, he would probably make a great special teamer and would push the OLB's for PT.

He may find a better spot for himself on a 4-3 team where he can truly compete for a starting role. If not, let's get him in the Red & Gold.

[9ernation94]

Great post!

Since we're on the topic of jokes, wasn't it you who had some 49ers blog?

and as I showed it to TheWiz and asked him if we could both jumpstart it, he never responded only to steal the idea and the name.

Mine: Miner's Gold
Wiz: 49ersGoldmine.com

So yes I did make it, only to have it fail and have someone else steal it. But hey, I don't mind I'm running another site now.

[krnbanguboi]

TheWiz's site is absolutely terrible.... I never visited yours, I just saw you post something about how Wiz stole it once.

But really, you should feel lucky that Wiz didn't team up with you, now he and the guy he teamed up with are seen as huge jokes.

Yeah, the site is a wreck. But wouldn't you be pissed if you presented an idea to someone only to have that person rip it off and never respond?

[SBbound49ers]

TheWiz pawns others peoples ideas. Look at his posts, he just re-hashes what someone has taught him.

He personally, adds next to nothing.

[krnbanguboi]

I just noticed that before entering this thread, it says that I'm the thread maker.

[krnbanguboi]

Probably would be, but all you have to do to make yourself feel better is realize that you're not TheWiz and therefore not seen as one of the biggest tools on the MB.

Meh, his writing has degenerated ever since he's been on here.

He would want starter money, would be a backup, has no business in a 3-4 except highly situational and he's hurt nearly every year.


Sounds like a great pickup.

whats your site...I'd like to check it out my friend

[beasley for pres]

I R GENIUS

The Bills will host LB Pisa Tinoisamoa for a free agent visit on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Tim Graham.
Tinoisamoa is fast enough for coordinator Perry Fewell's scheme and would be a upgrade over incumbent weak-side starter Keith Ellison. Ellison, an ex-safety with some cover skills, would fit much better as a fourth linebacker.

[Blong4Ever]

Well I think Denver should be looking into him, they went to a 3-4 and could use another ILB. They've already picked up a dozen FA so why not one at a much needed position.

[bruin4life]

Pisa was never that good and I do recall at one point they even considered moving him to SS because he wasn't that great in run support and they needed someone to take over for Archuleta or maybe it was with the signing of Witherspoon where they felt they needed to get Pisacrap out of the front 7..The first year the guy was hyped up as hawai 5-o but never quite did much to keep in people's thoughts after that...


Anyways, it's not a true need position for SF and unless he's a good pass rusher/blitzer (he's not) he's not going to fit for SF..he's not great at eating up blocks so playing next to Willis would simply be a waste of a position.

[bruin4life]

A player from the worst defense in the league is released, and people want to sign him? :slap:

granted he wasn't released but the niners did sign Justin Smith..a player from a bad defense.


Personally I think that signing the best player from the worse defense than the worse player from the best defense (smith vs tully banta cannot) is a better plan lol..

[bruin4life]

After looking it up, it looks like it was in 2004 when the Rams moved Pisa to SS. Nevertheless he's not a good 3-4 fit, imo, and is more of a pass coverage type of cover 2 guy...

LOL that was not the point. Only that there is talent on bad teams and they do get let go. Look at how many good players that Cards have let go over the years.
