Chiefs 1 gap 3-4; how do you think it will shake out?

I still think Poe needs to entrench himself into the NT spot. I am firm believer that a great NT will improve the entire D and Poe has the potential to be GREAT. I know he has skills that can translate well to other spots on the line, but that doesn't mean that they are wasted at the nose. Still having a hard time believing that I may be in the minority on this one. I think it's much more vital to have a great NT than a great 5 tech any day of the week. My dream for Poe is that he becomes a dominant NT. Would have no problem with him playing other spots that fit his talents in sub packages.

Yes. When Poe chooses a lane, he gets upfield well enough to the QB. Just his first year, he'll get better as he goes. And I agree -- Poe is going to be the linchpin in a 1 gap scheme.

If he's a great DE ala Watt in the 1-gap, then it doesn't matter. Poe just needs to be great, period.

Fair enough.
