Pisa Tinoisamoa?

Just wondering do you guys think Pisa Tinoisamoa is underrated? He is always near the top for tackles in the NFL! Do you think he is I do?!

Pisa is one of my favorites and I think he is underrated, but it is no surprise that he is not noticed with the poor performance of this defense.

I got to meet Pisa. He is a nice and friendly and he is not that big. I like to see him smile after he makes a good tackle.

Pisa is underrated. Although he has a lot to learn still, I think he will end up being a Pro Bowl LB sooner than later.

I think he should make the pro bowl this year. IMO!

Not likely...they don't notice the Rams. Even guys like Bulger and Holt don't get picked. There is not much hope for Pisa.

Have you guys been voting for the pro bowl players?

Define "top." He's yet to finish a season in the top 40 in the league in tackles, and is ranked 35th as of right now this year.

Underrated, probably. He's a big hitter, but still has a way's to go, especially in coverage.

There are a number of guys having better years that deserve Pro Bowl recognition more than Pisa though, IMO. I'd love to see him there, but he's got to step it up first.

IMO Bulger is a top 5 QB. When he is on the field he delivers a pretty pass. Holt...is Holt.

It doesn't matter they got passed over last year and they can get passed over again. Whatever.... it is just the pro bowl.

Do you remember the season that Isaac Bruce had 119 catches and he didn't make the pro bowl? With that being said you can't put too much stock into who makes the pro bowl, alot of it is a popularity contest.

119 catches and no pro bowl, ridiculous pfffffffffffffffffffft.

Same thing with LT when he caught 100 passes in a season. Didnt get selected to the Pro Bowl.

Lawrence Taylor caught 100 passes.

I think he is solid but i dont think he is underrated at all. He is horrible in pass coverage and notwithstanding the big hits, he could be more reliable in terms of tackling. Good player, can still improve a lot, but i think rams fans think he is better than he actually is based on how awful the rest of the defense is around him.

My analogy? I guy who knocks in 100rbi and hits .270. the stats dont really tell the story. good but not all star caliber.

Best tackler on the team? Probably. Remmeber this, in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

ramming speed to all

We don't need that here. He doesn't suck.

Pisa is for sure underrated. But in my opinion he has a lot more potential that he could be doing for the rams defense. When you have an defense full of players that cant tackle one average tackler of course will stand out. Of coure if we had a defense full of pisa's we would be the number one defense in the league. Still he needs to establish himself more as a leader on this defense or move out of the way and let somebody else do it.
