Nope. Upshaw was 2003.

He was the RDE in 2005. Wynn played on the other side. Wynn was basically a career LDE.

Got it. Makes sense too cuz we brought AC here in '06 to play RDE and that's when Daniels switched. It is weird though...I swear i remember Daniels coming off the left side during the playoff game in Tampa. The mind plays tricks...

I forget who played in his place, but it's very possible that Daniels switched sides of the line in that one.

[quote=Dirtbag359;556122]How long till the obligatory "they let him go for a reason" post? Because while I hate the fact that we have people that start threads for virtually every free agent I equally hate the people that seem to think that teams never make mistakes when they release players. Yeah we released James Thrash and Brian Mitchell for reasons. So they could kick our ass when they played for the Eagles.[/quote]

He didn't fit the role that they needed and was oft injured.

They let him go for a reason. That doesn't mean that another team can't benefit more from him than the Rams could.

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

[quote=vallin21;556277]Look, the FO is only signing Tinoisamoa if A) Blache thinks he's a better Weak Side LB than Mcintosh (no). B) If we're willing to pay him the money he's asking. (doubt it). And C) Were not in the market for a Weak Side LB, so to me this would be a bad signing. Thats why Rams released him, because they found out he wasn't big enough to play SAM, so to sign him would mean he'd be start at weak side while we're still experimenting at SAM which is still a need. This move wouldn't make sense.[/quote]

And that's an issue that we've had with the Redskins; expecting too much interchangeability with our players. It's great if a guy can fill in where he doesn't specialize but most of the time the players got into the position they are for a reason.

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

Seems like a waste, If the Rams don't want him why should we???

For what it's worth, Nic Clemons actually appeared in 10 games this year for the Broncos...his first action since 2005 with us.

Weird.

Ware plays in a 3-4. Different system, different positional responsibilities.

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

thay wasnt what i was getting at he plays de and linebacker and is very productive i think arakapo can too

nice job quoting yourself

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

lol that is not a argument and think of it this way with haynesworth taking on double and triple teams plus 3 other guys on line instead having 3 total the offense cant block everybody

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

zorn is just trying to how good he is by not being in his natrul pos. he just throwing stuff at trust me he will have his hand in the dirt this year.

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

our defense will be number one this year and orakapo will get defensive rookie of the year

true but dont compare orakp to ware cause ware plays in a 3-4 and orakp has always been a down lineman look at andre carter when SF moved him to OLB for the 3-4 what happened. Just because it worked for one guy doesnt mean it will work for everyone. Oh and just a little tidbit its: an argument not a argument

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

not really caring about grammer talking football

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

and i believe arakapo is more gifted then carter and plus he is getting schooled as soon as he is comes into the league not years after

Please care somewhat about grammar. We may be talking football but the rest of us still have to read your posts. If you would prefer that your posts remain unread then you may prefer to ditch grammar.

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

Ok here's my question: if Rak plays SLB on 1st and 2nd down but then puts his hand in the dirt on obvious passing downs, which side will he play, LDE or RDE?

...also which DEs get cut? With Lorenzo down to 275 he's basically a LDE prototype now. Then we've Wynn, Buzbee and Jackson all for backups too. We're not exactly loaded w/ talent at the position...just some able bodies.

Both of your questions are good ones. I hope that he plays LDE so that we can have Carter coming from the right.

As for the second question, if I were a DE not named Carter or Orakpo, I'd definitely be bringing my A game to training camp. Competition will be fierce.

Yes it will. This will only make us better. I'm getting fired up just thinking about it.

Re: Rams released Pisa Tinoisamoa!
 

With Orakpo, I honestly think they're just checking out their options right now. Nothing is set in stone just yet.

That's a good way of looking at it. Must be pretty stressful for the younger guys who haven't played. Buzbee had the injury last year. Jackson hasn't taken a snap yet. And Wilson is pretty superfluous as a DE now. I mean you don't want to jettison the younger guy just so Wynn can hold a roster spot but honestly who do ya prefer as a backup? A proven vet everybody loves or a totally untested young blood?

...also scratch what i said before...Lorenzo is a lock to make the final roster now that I think about it. He's uber versatile and probably makes a better backup DE than Buzbee, Jackson or Wilson. My gut is two of those three guys get cut...we'll see.

orakpo man but If you don't care about grammar then don't expect your posts to be taken into account.
