Twitter: Cowboys close to signing Dontari Poe

[thunderpimp91]

He didn't play mostly nt. Not even close

What did he play then? Not arguing with you, but I didnt watch enough Carolina games last year to really know.

Is it Official yet?

I doubt all the runs went by the NT, could be outside , or not the NT responsibility.

this true and not true, even if it not A gap to A gap runs, a NT like Snacks can make plays from the A gap to the b gaps. POE doesn't. excel in that he's more of the anchor and going forward type.

He played 1T when in a 4 man and DE in 3-4 for the most part. Although 1T is the “space eating” version of a 4-3, it’s not your typical 3-4 NT.

from what I saw he played more 3t with McCoy playing DE.

We would be taking the Panthers starting DT's from last year, McCoy & Poe. Anybody know how the Panthers did against the run last year?

Would about the DE's?

actually he played 3T. with McCoy playing DE

I graded (RSF) Poe and McCoy as the top two run defenders in the league last year and the only other player remotely comparable was Maurice Canady.

Do you ever tire of being facetious? Just a question, not a criticism...

So if DAL plays it the same, Mike Pennel could be in play at NT.

According to the numbers Cavanaugh posted, of the 400ish snaps..230 were in a 4 man front..either playing L or D DT...he had significantly less snaps lined up as a true nose tackle in a 3 man front...

Wish They'd get on with it and Poeny up the money.

Which would be nickel passing situations when they had extra dbs and less lbs.

I don't see McCoy playing a lot of DE here . but I'd sign snacks too.

You keep arguing this point. I don't care. I'm not arguing the other side

DTs
Dontari Poe: 346lbs
Gerald McCoy: 300lbs
Antaun Woods: 318lbs
Trysten Hill: 308lbs
Covington: 305lbs

DEs Tank: 265lbs
Randy Gregory: 255lbs
Armstrong: 255lbs
Crawford(?): 290lbs

Do the Cowboys have enough beef to convert to a 3-4?

His lame attempts of being funny fail miserably......if his eagles would have signed them he would be all giddy.

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

Meh, He’s a Poe man’s Harrison.

Yeah I rather have Harrison but better than what we had previously.

3-4 is useless with this roster, need to keep 4-3 and flex 3-4 in few series.

You can say that again.
