Commander Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 I think there's a real good chance he lands here. He's about the only option left out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbohastle51 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 i agree. he is the only "starting" option out there. there are guys like morlon greenwood who have been starters there whole career but are very much on the decline out there but he is the only guy that actually makes us better from the moment he signs. while i dont think he is going to be a pro bowl type upgrade over ellison i do think he will be a noticeably significant upgrade over him. when we are watching games i think poz and mitchell will also look better from him being on the field because they wont have to basically run over to ellisons side everytime a play is there. the one thing we can all agree on if anything is that pisa is a tackling machine. he is known throughout the NFL as a guy who doesnt miss a tackle, that alone makes him a big ugrade over ellison because ellison misses a tackle or 2 every game.

SouthGeorgiaBillsFan Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 it was reported that he went to Chicago to see what they'd offer and also that both Buffalo and Chicago would use him in the same way, and Pisa was asking to much for the role that both Buffalo and Chicago would use him for...has something to do with the fact that both Buffalo and Chicago use DB's in place of a 3rd LB in nickel situations..so therefore on some plays Poz and Mitchel are the only LB's on the field and Chicago does the same thing and they have Urlacher and some other dude..so Pisa, for both teams would be on the bench for some plays..therefore neither team wants to pay him as a full time starter. You do realize that "nickel package" refers to replacing your third linebacker with a DB right? I take it not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloaggie Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Maybe we should give him a key to the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffery Lester Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 The Bills brought-in Galloway and Coles, saw them leave...and signed T.O. They brought-in Taylor and Jones, saw them leave...and signed Rhodes. I'm hoping that after bringing-in June and Keiaho and seeing them leave, that they sign Tinoisamoa and make them 3 for 3 when it comes to getting the best player among the ones they brought-in. I agree with your posting completely. I would rather have TO and Rhodes over the other backs and wide receivers we brought in this year, no question about it. I know it will give some posters on this site angina to admit the FO is doing a good job. But lets give them credit for this year spectacular off season.

Rhodes is three years younger than Taylor, had almost 200 more total yards, 8 more touchdowns and one fewer fumble than Taylor in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget it--logic doesn't work with this guy. He's a "born again" Pats* fan--i.e., post-2001, aka the worst kind of Pats* "fan" and I use that term loosely. He'll be back rooting for the Cowboys in no time once the Pats* slide starts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robkmil Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 there has been multiple reports that he isnt going to visit the eagles and also there have been multiple reports how he doesnt fit there defense at all. they run the same defense spags is running in st. louis and they released him because he was too small for it. a link to these reports would support your claim. you can't pull reports from mid-air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOR Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 You would rather have Rhodes over Fred Taylor???? I have heard it all now. That could be the most pathetic/homer thing I have heard on this board. It's a "what have you done for me lately" league, pally. Given their performances last year, coupled with their respective ages and wear-and-tear, Rhodes is clearly the better choice. And the bad thing for the Pats is that Taylor will likely be their #1 RB, given that Maroney is an injury-prone bust, while Rhodes is 2nd on the depth chart to start the season, and then 3rd when Lynch returns.

That could be the most pathetic/homer thing I have heard on this board. Great analysis on why Taylor is better than Rhodes. I'm shocked you didn't suggest that both Galloway and Greg Lewis were better individual signings than TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 He's not visiting the eagles. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/dneagle...sit_Eagles.html Great find. It looks like it's going to come down to us and the Bears. Fewell versus Lovie, all versus $ no doubt. I give us about a 50% chance there, much better than what I'd have thought two days ago.....
