Tinoisamoa Talks About Upcoming Opponent

Chicago Bears linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa has already talked about expecting to start once he returns from his injury, and that time has now come. Tinoisamoa has started participating in practice and is expected to be ready for the Bears’ upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Tinoisamoa is more focused on his upcoming opponents than his injury, more specifically Falcons’ tight end Tony Gonzales. Tinoisamoa said, “He’s big, he’s mobile, he’s agile, and he’s athletic. He has great hands. You can go down the list. He’s definitely one of the best receiving-slash-blocking tight ends in the game. Fortunately for me, going through training camp against [Bears tight end] Greg Olsen, he’s one of the finest ones. You can definitely compare him with Tony. You know it’s going to be a tough day, but you play hard. I’ve got 10 other guys to help support me, and I’ll play my best.”

Tinoisamoa also talked about how hard it was to watch from the sideline and said, “Winning’s a good thing and you always want to be a part of it. I’m there. I go to the meetings and whatnot. But I’m not actually out there on the field, so I really don’t get to experience that, and that’s [why] I came here, wanting to win. But we’ve got plenty of games to go, so I’m excited about that.”

Tinoisamoa will be a welcome returner as the Bears have suffered multiple injuries in their linebacker corps. See them live with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
