Dontari Poe

[Smithers]

He’s grading out as above average on PFF...for what that’s worth.  

Poe, like Star, is not going to light up the stat sheet.  His job is to take up space and occupy two bodies.  The edge rushers then need to make the play.  Star played the same role and often was bashed for not recording ten sacks a season.

Hes doing at least as much as Star but for much less.

Will someone post his snap count from yesterday? He has been awful this year. We are about half way through the year and at this point I see no reason why to bring him back next year. He and Butler combined aren’t half as good as Star was. 

What was the contract Star signed compared to Poe?

Incorrect.

Incorrect. 

Actually correct.

Hes producing the same for less.

I will admit that I am not up on Star’s contract. I don’t know what his cap number is. My point is that Star basically had one job and was really good at it. Just be a clog in the middle and eat blocks. Poe certainly isn’t any good at that and I couldn’t tell you the last time I heard his name called aside from his incredibly stupid penalty that signicafntly helped the Ravens yesterday.

He is taking up space, the same way as Star, and he is effective at it. With two men generally having to keep him at bay, it allows others to do what they do. I don't know what's so hard to understand about that. Sure, he isn't getting much of a pass rush, but that's never really been his forté.

People whined about Star, and now they're whining about Poe. It is what it is. They're nose tackles who command a double team on most plays. Poe's time will come. He'll make a push play ever so often. But he is at least doing the minimum, and still cheaper than Star.

Get that nonsense talk out of here. If they aren't getting sacks then they sux. /s

Also, it's not like we are paying this dude elite money, his cap hit is like 5 million this year. Get a grip people.
