Dontari Poe should just be called "Beast Mode"
 

I can't recall a DT with his skill set. There are only so many people in the world who weigh 340 lbs, and I dare say out of those select few (ok, in 'murica there are lots of them) he is without a doubt the fastest. Its not that he just disrupts the backfield; this guy plays sideline to sideline and can chase a runner down from behind. And he plays all three downs. He played 100% of the defensive snaps in the Dallas game. For a guy that size, that is unheard of. Any other person that size would of keeled over with a heart attack.

What is really scary about this guy is that everyone says it takes at least three years for a defensive lineman to learn his position in the NFL. This guy should have had a longer learning curve because by all accounts he didn't have any coaching in college to speak of. Give the kid a couple of years and he may well be one of the all time greats. I know it is early to say that, but I watch the guy and my jaw just drops at what he can do.

To put it in perspective, Haloti Ngata went to his first pro bowl in his fourth year when he recorded 36 tackles (26 unassisted) and 1.5 sacks. In two games in his second year, Poe went total Beast Mode and has recorded 10 tackles (9 unassisted) and 3.5 sacks.

The guy is inhuman--he is Beast Mode.

I always appreciate original nicknames not already in use in the league. Perhaps we could also call him skittles.

Memphis Meanie

Monster from Memphis

Gotcha, did not know Marshawn Lynch was called that....

The only one I can think of at all is Haloti Ngata. he really is freakish.....

Start calling him the POE-TRUCK for the way he drags bitches left and right.

Never mind the OP.....

I know he's a big dude and can lift like a million pounds or whatever but he doesn't look like your typical 340 pounder. He looks a lot smaller

How about "Belcher". Dude is killin it!

The Red Menace?

SWEET AN AWESOME NICKNAME THREAD

I think we should call him jovan belcher bcuz he is mind blowing. Amirite?

The shape of his head makes him look like a kid to me.

Winnar

FWIW, Poe embodies the concept of Beast Mode better than Lynch....

I think y'all should call him
Mr Poe
and be real respectful

That play Lynch had in the playoffs was pretty crazy. I would say he earned that nickname. Poe is certainly on his way to earning one of equal quality though. He still has to prove it out over time, but this is pretty impressive and convincing stuff right now.

Poe Knows Quarterbacks

I am going to post this in every Poe related thread.

Poe can do this.

Hungry Hungry Hippoe is still my personal favorite

Dontario is quite impressive.

Is that real?

Jamaal Charles can be Megatron

How long has it been since we drafted an interior lineman and watched him have legit Pro Bowl potential?

How ****ing long?

I don't think I've seen it in my entire Chiefs fan LIFE. That's not as long as some of you, but still a good 20 years.

Nope, don't believe I've EVER seen it.

When I was Sackin' in Memphis
I was sackin' with my feet ten feet off of Neil

But do I really feel the way I feel?

Nah, Charles is already All Day.

It looks like it.

Before TC in summer I'd always see him out. I talked to him a few times. One time I went up to him and said "do you even lift" he just smiled and his gf laughed.

His last name is Poe.

His addition makes our defense potentially as good as Baltimore's.

The Raven

It's painful...but sadly it's the best option I am presented with at this point in my CP career. :banghead:

oh my god

MY GOD

And he got off LATE on the snap...he WAS LATE GETTING OFF

Beautiful.

You could take a line room KC's own IRV DA PHENOM who did Red and Yellow, and call him "Toyota mode". All gas, no brakes, all he do is go.

DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT PLAY

WE GOT A SACK

AND HALI AND HOUSTON WERE IN COVERAGE

alan parsons project for theme music

It's beautiful. Too bad he couldn't have landed on him as well.

This guy is so big and so fast.

One of these days he is going to hit a QB just right and kill him.

Romo barely had time to adjust to the freight train that was bearing down on him.

He is just stunning to watch.

I recall another play where he damned near ran down De Marco Murray from behind on a screen pass.

On the .gif that Clay posted, the center didn't even realize he was beaten until he turned and saw the Romo Sandwich that had just happened.

He is rapidly becoming my favorite player on this team.

He doesn't give up on the play. He almost outran Murry at one point and I literally braced for a "click" noise when Poe smashes him.

You must have missed it, he is now Dontario, the announcers changed his named for him.

Dontari Poo, because he be shitting on every offense.

Still have the LP.

The Memphis Pain Train

HEY! How'd I get left of this list?

Did you know that Alan Parson's was the engineer for Pink Floyd on Dark Side of the Moon? Did you know he also was engineer on a bunch of Hollies albums... including the one with one of their best tracks...

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/HydvceA1PAI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Although to be honest, let's give some credit to Albert Hammond who wrote it.. (and also wrote the classic... It Never Rains in Southern California) But Alan Parson's engineering is what made the Hollies version kick ass.

Hey, I know too. One of my favorites.

It feels damn good to be a Chiefs fan from TN.

Berry, Poe, and Bray on this roster.

The last interior D lineman that the Chiefs drafted and went to the Pro-Bowl is Bill Maas---as far as I can remember.

I definitely do "I robot" was one of my favorite albums of all time I just love that album

I like it!

Who's Alan Parsons? Did he play for the Chiefs back in the day?

Code Red

Who doesn't know Eye in the Sky?

I need to re-watch this game. Were Houston and Hali dropping in coverage a lot?

The only Alan Parsons song I know is the Chicago Bulls intro music

That is the prelude to Eye in the Sky.
