You're dead right about Poe's usage at Memphis.
I will definitely argue that it directly means he lacks 2-gap potential.
Tyson Jackson is one of the smarter DE prospects you'll run across, and it still took him three solid years to learn 2-gap football. It is a very difficult scheme to play, and requires
much more technique and discipline than 1-gap. To a certain extent, you can just tell a one-gapper to "go get 'em." A two-gapper has a much more difficult responsibility.
Dontari Poe would essentially have to be re-taught football. And Crennel is up to that challenge, but he shouldn't have to be subjected to that.
I have come around on Ta'amu, though. I think Ta'amu could be an excellent two-gapper.
