While I understand that without the anchor to your defense, a lot goes out the window, but I'm curious to see how, with the amount of time given to adjust, they maximize our players' strengths to minimize the loss of Poe.

At least we have time to work it out, as opposed to adjusting on the fly.
Ya, no...the defense without Poe isn't as good as they are with Poe....its very simple. Doesn't mean they still can be good, but just not as good....there's no way. Can't replace that guy.

Our run defense has been crap with Poe....is it possible our run d improves with Poe missing time, similarly to how the pass defense improved...largely without Berry?..

It's possible, but my thinking is simply this: great defenses lose core guys all the time and keep it together (Seahawks, Ravens, 49ers) and with the depth we have on that side of the ball there's no reason not to believe in the "next man up" philosophy. It will sting a little, but Sutton will scheme around it.

Depending on how close to 100% DJ and DeVito are, the run D could actually get worse... he's a major loss no matter how its sliced.

Yes it is, we finally get a great one and he has a major, potentially permanent problem going into his fourth year... seems like this came outta nowhere, last I'd read his back was feeling great.

This sucks. Depending on how it plays out he is done as a top tier player. Hopefully they get him fixed and can leave a normal life. At his size it wont be easy.

BossChief 07-29-2015 03:04 PM
IMO they should try to get him to drop weight the next couple years and play him at LDE like the Ravens used to do with Ngata.

That would be ideal if we could find our Kelly Gregg.

How do you think Howard will fair at NT? I feel like he will command double teams with his ability to penetrate and beat 1 on 1 blocks, but I'm concerned with his ability to take on those double teams.

The OP states his surgery was successful and is doing great. The rest is just the typical CP knee jerk reactions BS.

though we should kick Sutton square in the nuts for not spotting him enough or at all.

Agreed, but I can understand wanting to keep a 3 down lineman in as much as possible, especially the caliber of Poe. That's why I advocated taking a NT early in the past draft.
