Master Blaster Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4152152 Leading tackler for the Rams last season. I thought he was a weakside 'backer but he is 6' 1" 240 lbs. so he has the size to be a SLB. Injury issues in the past though as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Not a bad option. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in but the injury history is a cause for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Interesting... I wonder why they cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i am for signing anybody who can make sure that orakpo is our starting defensive end. so bring this guy in please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 he's at least worth a shot to bring in for camp and get a look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 why would they cut a player that had 100+ tackles last seaon? Is he injuried or a headcase? There has to be something wrong with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail-to-da-skins-21 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Interesting... I wonder why they cut him. according to rotoworld.................This is a case of a good player not fitting his new coach's scheme, but it's still surprising that the Rams would release last year's team leader in tackles. Though the Rams tried Pisa at SAM linebacker last month at minicamp, he didn't have the size to stay there. Chris Draft is now the favorite to start next to James Laurinitis and Will Witherspoon. I would love for us to sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALLz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 According to rotoworld, they think he just didn't fit the system. They tried him at SAM in mini camp and he didn't look so hot apparently ^^^EDIT:Beat me to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the redskins will offer more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreitmaster Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yes please. Doubt we can afford him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfannyc76 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Well at least you gotta say that the 'Skins are exploring almost every option out there when it comes to the holes on our defense and offense. I just kinda wish we at least drafted a little better (I know, still too early to tell). Regardless, I don't think it would hurt to bring this guy in...

Weapon X Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Bring him in...100+ tackles is worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.THEkid. Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 IMO he had a very solid career in a very horrendous D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farbod21 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hes too small for SAM. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintrain Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 If he signs it will be as the WILL and move McIntosh to the SAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Blaster Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 i am for signing anybody who can make sure that orakpo is our starting defensive end. so bring this guy in please. I think regardless of whether or not Orakpo plays LB Daniels/Wynn will be the starting end. With Orakpo being the DE on passing downs/rotational. DE's generally don't do well as rookies unless you use them in a specific roll (ala Jevon Kearse speed rushing as a rookie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i am for signing anybody who can make sure that orakpo is our starting defensive end. so bring this guy in please. I think they said that currently Orakpo doesnt have the size to be a every down DE. I think they are going to put him at DE in certain situations though.....

Hiro Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I would be totally down for it. Tinoisamoa is a really underrated player who could really add some speed and athleticism to our linebacking group. Putting him at WLB with McIntosh at the SLB would solidify our defense, and we'd have a solid lineup on all levels of the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Anyone know if Tinoisamoa played with Fletcher when he was with the Rams? Just curious..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icbmayday Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 He is going to get overpaid by someone hopefully not the redskins I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heliKCx17 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 He is undersized, but fast, and solid in coverage. He would be a great fit at the SLB, as he was one of the better OLBs in 2007. I know you are all tired of the should we's, but this one is legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky52Mc Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I don't think so with Orakpo playing a lot of LB, there's been good LB's out there and we haven't chased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
