Dontari Poe: Something Cowboys haven't had in a while

[armadillooutlaw]

Yes Beev. That's a good story.
Clarify: is he a run stuffer or pass rusher?
Hollah

Mostly run stuffer but can pressure the QB decently enough to where he isn't a liability on passing downs.

 

[Buzzbait]

Love this signing! I wanted to draft him but still a nice addition at 30yo.. Should help the ends and LBs tremendously here.

The Cowboys FINALLY have some beef on the DL! Thank you Mike McCarthy!

 

[Typhus]

Strong like bull, Quick like lightning, Fat like Toyota Minivan.

While he may not be what he once was, I will agree with "Fat like Toyota Mini van."
Man does eliminate running lanes, eats space, that's a good thing for this D.

Some beef up front, FINALLY!!!

 

[KJJ]

Read somewhere where Poe disappeared in games last season. We’ll see if he shows up here.

Love the guy. Poe and McCoy...………..What an upgrade!!!!! Not only is the running game going to get much better, but we can get a push up the middle in the pass rush. And it gives us flexibility to use the 3-4 at times.

 

[Bullflop]

Poe should weight in at least 50/60 lbs. heavier than the average DL we were suiting up last year! That's a lotta beef right there!!

 

[OGCowboy]

Glad to see the beef arrive, it’s about time. ....according to many nowadays it’s totally a passing league. Why worry about run stuffing the gut?...I ain’t buying it. We got burned too much by teams pounding the ball....

Thanks - this made me laugh.

Plus we really don't need him to be a 3 down player. He can be a force on running downs but then stay fresh when we rotate in someone like Gallimore or Crawford into that spot on passing downs.

"Disappeared" is a poor choice of words here... lol/jk (I know what you mean)

I wonder if they use him like the Chiefs did years ago on offense.

Yeah, it would be hard for him to disappear with his size. We’ll just have to see how we’re going to use him and how he plays. Sure wish we would have had a normal offseason with OTA’s to get him and everyone else ready.

I remember wanting Poe in the first round in that draft and the Panthers selecting him
Then I remember wanting Kwann Short in the 2nd round and the Panthers selecting him.

Panthers didn't draft Poe.

 

[Hardline]

Panthers didn't draft Poe.

Thanks. You're the fourth person to tell me that.

He's more like one of those oversized conversion vans (remember the Rob Ryan van)...

 

[Praxit]

...a one player 5 sack game. ..lol.. Dont tell Dak.

I bet some of you guys must be crazy for the large female as much as I keep hearing this beefy talk..

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

I so wanted the Cowboys to draft this guy when he came out. I recall people saying he was just a combine warrior and that he would never live up to where he got picked.

 

[fivetwos]

McCoy and Poe are outstanding additions.

Gallimore is the pup.

The rest of the holdovers can fight for the scraps but the Garrett ERA stench that's on dudes named Woods and Crawford and Hill, better show up to camp is all I know.

Only an idiot would believe you don’t need some run stopping beef along the DL.....
I’m talking to you Loserelli
