Twitter: Cowboys close to signing Dontari Poe

[cowboyec]

Wentz's view of Poe

FEEL THE THHHHUNDAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OmerV]

Meh, He’s a Poe man’s Harrison.

So, just a Snack?

 

[ultron]

plus he's fatter.
which is way better.

Yep, it’ll set LVE, Jaylon, and Lee free to feast!

 

[Whyjerry]

He and McCoy are older but this would be a massive upgrade over recent DT combos for this team. I would approve.

 

[Vinnie2u]

I’m gonna party like it’s 1999...

 

[Gremell12]

Good now get another bendy rusher off the edge. We got the middle guys who are good vs the run.

Let's go with 1993 - a better year for the Cowboys

 

[Xavier187]

Poe would be an awesome addition.
Im wondering if Tyrone Crawford has gotten notice yet?
I doubt we are getting Griffin. But if we can that would be great and Randy Greogory is on his way back.
So its really up in the air
Know the Cowboys have to draft 2 CBs and S and a swing CB\S

Gregory will be reinstated.

 

[Manster_Mash]

Lotta “IFs”, but if we can stay healthy, and Gregory comes back at DE, a rotation of McCoy, Poe, Woods, Hill and possibly a draft pick looks like a HUGE upgrade over last year!

You lost me at Hill.

Every time I see all three mentioned together, I feel on edge without 'socially distancing' them apart cause at least 2 or 3 of them are in danger of getting injured.

How did Carolina's run defense rank 29th with McCoy, Poe and Vernon Butler all at DT? Doesn't make sense. They had good players at LB as well....

A combination of scheme (4-3 guys playing 3-4), rotation tendencies, injuries, and a second half of the season tank job

Few years too late

 

[Sydla]

I still want Griffen

 

[freddy0227]

Panthers had Poe and Mccoy at DT last year

Worst run defense in the NFL lop

Lol

Both of these guys were well known being former first rounders. They are not the same at this point.

I don't think I've ever seen a team acquire two different DTs from the same team that sported a 32nd ranked run D...and then consider it a good thing. I'm surprised most of the comments about this seem positive. People must be name-starved or something...or just DT starved.

This is a good sign they are not blindly hoping Trystian will contribute in 2020.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Poe seemed to get his pass rushing groove back last season

Ditto dude. Two stout DTs, possibly, and they signed a solid FS? Must be something in the water. Or, McCarthy has actual say?
