That's pretty much what I thought about him.
A lot of plays he was playing DE on a 3 man line against spread offenses. I mean, yeah, you're not going to make a lot of plays when teams are throwing quick passes all over the field and you're one of 3 guys rushing on 5...
Then, you have a guy like Chapman for Alabama, who is playing 3-4 nose surrounded by beasts on what is pretty much a minor league NFL team, playing against SEC offenses that run the ball a lot.
So, of course, a guy like Chapman is going to make more plays playing against those SEC offenses surrounded by those other players. Teams were running at him all the time.
Memphis was ****ing atrocious and Poe was by far their best player. How often do you think teams ran his direction?
