All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Draz, I agree 100%. Although the stats of Ellison and Pisa are very comparable (over the past three seasons), Pisa is a better overall player and can compliment our LB corp nicely. Maybin can definitely benefit.

Pisa has been an underrated player pretty much his whole career. He can play... very well as a matter of fact.

Ya know, I don't really know why people keep referring to the three year stats to show something. Seems one would do that only if they were trying to show something. Check Pisa and Ellison out. Don't let the "starts" "stat" fool ya. Ellison was the starting OLB in all 16 games last year. We just happened opened 2 games in the nickle package. Pisa had almost double the number of solo tackles Last Year, (88 to 49).
The biggest difference is I think Pisa played a majority of his snaps on the weak side, while Ellison played on the strong. Ellison did play the weak side the year before though and he mustered 30 tackles (23 solos) in in 9 starts. Which was on pace for 53 (41 solo), and even worst.
Anyways, seems to me if your gonna compare 2 players, you would compare their most recent years. Who cares who was better 3 years ago?
To top it off, at 27, Pisa is only 2 years older then Ellison.

I was just trying to compare their last three years to eachother because they both had around the same number of starts.
I personally think that Pisa is much, much, much, MUCH better than Ellison.

Oh, I hear ya man. I wasn't coming at you. I read that on here a couple times in the last three days. I just wanted to point out how I felt about that line. I mean, did you look it up and do the math, or did you just read it too? Because I think it is very easy to take a stat at face value, and not look alittle closer at it sometimes. Afterall, a stat is supposed to be unbiased, but they are skewable.

absolutely. You are 100% right about the stats. Like I said, Pisa is much better than Ellison and has been in the length of his career.
Actually, I just noticed, in '07 they both started 9 games on the weak side. Ellison had 30 tackles (23 solos), as previously mentioned, while Pisa had 40 (and 31 solo). That is 33% more productive.

33% more productive makes the linebacker corps 33% better. I'll take anything at this point to make the Bills a better football team.
