Chiefs Dontari Poe should just be called "Beast Mode" - Page 2

Fat Elvis · 09-16-2013, 10:44 PM

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.

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.

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.

I was sackin' with my feet ten feet off of Neil

But do I really feel the way I feel?

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.

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