The Cowboy Way and Dontari Poe

same is true of Brockers...a 322 lb 20 year old still growing into his body.[quote]

This would be true if LSU didnt rotate 8 men on the DLINE

There wasn't ONE single game that he completely dominated and flashed his potential.

Yes he may turn out to be a great pro but right now chances are he will be somewhere closer to Mike Mammula.

Yeah, lets just bring out stupid Mike Mamula comments. These are two different kind of players, Mamula would be an OLB in the 3-4 and all the crap about Mamula being only a workout warrior is bunk because he didn't pan out. He had a great college career. 12 sacks as a junior and 17 sacks as a senior.(finishing with 4 sacks in his bowl game) Mamula had two seasons in the nfl where he had 8 sacks and 8 1/2 sacks, but he just wasn't big enough to play DE at 248 pounds. He should have been at OLB in a 3-4 like Ware.

The whole "Cowboy Way" and "right kind of guy" is pretty much bunk anyway. Every coach wants hard working players who don't get into trouble... Every coach. But if they don't have talent, it won't matter. You aren't winning games in the NFL with a bunch of Rudys out there. So at some point you have to compromise in some way... Just like Garrett has done with a guy like Ogletree.

As for Poe, who knows what to believe. But he's very talented and most people seem to believe he's a pretty decent person with a good enough work ethic, and those guys usually work out okay.

I think this guy would change our defense a lot. You platoon him with Rat at NT. We play a lot fronts. He'd get his share of snaps. Rat needs to be platooned more IMO.

I agree. Every coach wants the hard working guys who don't get into trouble. But some teams are more tolerable to "red flag" guys such as the Bengals and Lions.

Since Garrett became the HC in Dallas, he has seemed to weed out these guys from the team and from their draft board.

I'd rather have DeCastro or Barron who would get 800-1000 snaps rather than Poe would get a 300-400.

I'd rather have both but I certainly want Ratliff more rested. I suspect Poe would get more snaps than that. More like 50%. There's no reason not to put Rat and Poe on the field together at times. We play multiple fronts. They need to spell Spencer and Ware more often as well. We need talented depth in lots of places.

He would get snaps at both NT/DE and get way more than that. If you bothered researching at all he is projected to play more end as a rookie and be eased in at NT.

He can line up there for sure.

As to whether he can actually play any position, I think that's up for debate.
