To the ship!

Good bye Poe.

Bennie and the Chiefs.

Like him coming out in the draft.

Hasn't really done much, though. Ideally he's little more than a depth signing. He could be a solid rotational player but he's not 'the answer' to any question worth asking.

There's your NT.

Chris Jones / Jaye Howard / Allen Bailey rape fest

Print 'em.

Very Dorsey signing.

He will definitely help our run D though. Good move.

Now get Hodges signed and call FA a win

Chiefs signed DT Bennie Logan, formerly of the Eagles, to a one-year contract.

Logan's addition means free agent Dontari Poe is likely to walk. Logan can slide right in at nose tackle. He's a downgrade, but not a particularly steep one. The move could end up being a wash for Kansas City, one that saves money.

He's a run stuffer. We got gashed on the ground this year.

This makes a ton of sense.

Also, his back isn't always ****ed up. So while a slight downgrade in terms of upside compared to Poe, the risk for injury is significantly reduced.

Oh, and we aren't breaking the bank.

Tremendous signing by the Chiefs. He isn't a big name, but he is a very good player. He is stout vs the run and gets the occasion push in the passing game. He is technically sound and was a cornerstone of our defensive line. Many players on the line said he was the "glue guy" who made it all work.

He will be a very solid addition to the Chiefs. He's a really really good guy to boot. Class act.

We'll miss him in Philly!

It's funny - the more you read, the more you realize that Poe's reputation in league circles has CRATERED the last two years. I read something a couple of weeks ago regarding his film and there was a scout that said he was among the worst interior defensive lineman he saw on tape last year.

I think as fans we have a bit of a blind spot to him because we remember when he was great and the shit he does on offense is fun. But the more I read, the more you have to conclude that he was a fairly substantial part of the problem last year. Dude's back injury really wrecked him.

His multi-city tour seems to suggest same. He's clearly not getting the offers he wants and he's going to keep bouncing around and trying to drum up interest. It wouldn't surprise me to see him end up somewhere on a 1-year deal, have that back flare up on him and slowly fade away.

If he could get something like 4/$32 with at least half of that guaranteed, he may be wise to jump on it. It's looking like his decline was pretty fierce.

He's a solid run stuffer which we badly need and this draft is weak in that regard.

We play nickel like 60% of the time so I don't imagine we'll need him to play too many snaps.

Sounds like he'll be a good fit for our needs

Bennie Thompson?

He'll end up signing with Atlanta. Pioli will talk Dmitrioff into it.

Could Jones play NT?

Camp fodder

I am expecting this to be an upgrade to Poe. The truth is, as DJLN eluded to, Poe is coasting on name value right now. This isn't like Sean Smith last year where the guy was good as he left. Poe hasn't been very good the past two years at all, a lot of it probably due to the back.

I hope to see Sutton use a steady rotation up front with Jones, Bailey, Logan, Howard and RNR. Don't overload those big guys. Keep them fresh all season and healthy.

A young devito type player?

And yeah, I think we all collectively overrated the **** out of Poe.

Same age as Poe, no back issues and less pass rush.

Good fit.....way to go Dorsey.....great contract low risk high reward....Dorsey is a genius...


/TypicalCPbullshitaftermedicoresignings

I think we are overating 2013-14 poe... He was a monster. But as soon as his back gave out, he was a time bomb. Got 5 good years out of a 1st rnder.... I'll take it. Via con dios, Piggy.

Seems like Poe only had 1 good game that was the SNF @Denver then he hurt his back that game and didn't do shit the rest of the year. The excuse for him was he was always getting double teamed and none of us wanted to admit the truth,

still waiting on Sutton to rotate

Sutton played the guy with a bad back about 75% of the plays iirc I think there were only 3 or 4 Dline that played more than Poe and they were all DE and ROLB type guys.

If Poe wasn't playing well then why did Sutton leave him out there constantly?

Logan has 1 more sack than Poe the last 2 years

There at the end last year we were playing guys like Reyes and Jenkins quite a bit. So, he was rotating, but will he keep it up when the starters are back?

We need to preserve Jones. He can be good for a long time if they don't play him a 1000 snaps a season.

BUT, can he throw and catch???

84th overall DL, 53rd against the run, 110th pass rush

Only played 181 run snaps.

JAG, but cheap hopefully.

He is, but only because Poe was absolutely terrible last year.

I love this signing. Run defense is already improved.

From PFF:


9. Bennie Logan, NT
Logan is a true nose tackle, effectively limiting him to being a two-down player, which in today’s NFL has never been less valuable in terms of contract dollars. He has the ability though to make a major impact on those two downs if a team is willing to embrace the type of player he is. This past season he was a poor fit for Philadelphia’s new, aggressive, one-gap defensive front, but the year before he notched 45 defensive stops, fourth in the league among all interior defenders despite playing just 597 snaps in total. Only Damon Harrison had a better run-stop percentage than Logan’s 14.8 percent, a figure that would also have been second to Harrison this season. Embrace the two-gapping, run-stuffing ability and you could transform your run defense for pennies on the dollar.

Remember when this board blew it's load over signing Vance Walker?

Yup. He played really well in 14/15 too. Last year he kind of fell off in that 4-3.

nice read, staylor. Yes, a fan of this signing. Very good rotational depth, and could be a decent inside starter, if something goes wrong with Howard.

That's because everyone Sutton rode into the ground dropped like flies due to injuries and we got crushed in the run game because we were playing turds on the line off the street.

Sutton is going to get mileage out of Chris Jones, 1000 snaps easy this year lol.

It was the occasional flash that did it to us.

The play he made in the Houston playoff game where he just instantaneously changed direction, blew through the middle and caused a pick. There was the clip in the Bronco's game (IIRC) where he and Bailey literally held the entire 5-man line of the Broncos to a standstill when Sutton tried some crazy 9-velcro kind of package.

On rare occasions you'd see a flash of the animal he was in 2013 but ultimately, you saw a pretty ineffective player more often than that.

It sucks, but as has been alluded to, Sutton (and Pioli) deserve a little blame here as well. That guy got ridden so hard and even when Dorsey came in and found some depth here and there, Sutton continued to flog Poe. We were screaming for help for Poe for several years and in the end, the cavalry appeared to just arrive too late.

But hey, take Poe away from Sutton and perhaps he'll consider responsible line rotations going forward. That would be a welcome respite.

To the canoe!

I sure ****ed that right up.

I thought Walker would be a damn nice rotational player for us and we just never found a use for him at all.

I seem to remember him finding success after he left here, though. Walker's one of those guys that just never broke through; metrics darling but never seemed to make a name for himself beyond that.

D lineman fall off a cliff all the time

Maybe that's the lesson, though.

Just ride interior DL like RBs and then discard them.

Not the defensive piece I wanted from the Eagles, but he will do.

Here come the idiots like Clay and Billay to tell us this isn't a good signing when it clearly is to anybody with a ****ing clue about the rest of the NFL.

:facepalm:

STaylor has gems like Houston would be ready week 1 last year and Justin March Lillard is a good player. Go back to hiding bundle of sticks.

This is an outstanding signing for sure. He was a great NT when the Eagles were running a 3-4. Anyone with half a brain knows that this was a great value pickup. Don't sweat the idgits.

I was thinking about this kid the other day and expecting him to demand a bit more than the Chiefs could conjure up. Glad they could snag him.

I didn't see Clay say it was a bad signing

Has to be, the market has really bottomed out on lineman, 3-4 interior and run stuffers in this new era. They are almost like the fullback on offense at this point.

There was a time when big fat Tony Siragusa or a Pat Williams had tons of value. Today not so much.

We got Poes best years and replaced him with basically a comparable nobody for pennies on the dollar. You could probably argue that Logan and a Chris Jones offseason/improvement into a starters role is an UPGRADE for the Chiefs rather than a net loss.

March is awful. Weird how many propped him up.

Oh well we win some we lose some. Atleast they aren't giving Poe a huge contract like Carl would have done.

Nobody is saying this is a bad signing it's a 1 year deal for a guy who's a rotatonal player.

Eagles becoming the new 49ers for the Chiefs...

We're all wrong sometimes, but I'm nowhere near wrong as often as you are dipshit.

You just called this guy camp fodder. You're a ****ing moron.

Pretty hard to avoid that conclusion at this point.

"Poor man's Mauga" is really the best compliment I can give him at this point and that's definitely not a good thing. Hell, he's not even a healthier version of Mauga.

He doesn't cost much...so he's got that going for him. Beyond that, I can't see anything to get excited about with him. Can't stay on the field, isn't worth a shit when he's on it. Not a great combination.

It's a decent signing. Nothing groundbreaking. Doubt he's a starter.

I wonder if they have any backup scrub QB's we could possible bring in for a look to see if they have any gas in the tank that we might be sold on?

He's been a starter his entire career. And if he plays like he did in 2015, he will be a damn good starting NT.

Seems to be a better fit in the 3 4...good for us

Trying trying too hard to be Dane. Thankfully this go around will be short lived for you with the new moderation. You aren't just wrong you are a petulant child when someone disagrees with you. You were obnoxious whenever someone called out March and he ended up being so bad you literally went into hiding from this board.

I remember CP claiming Dee Ford, Travis Kelce and Eric Fisher as failures early in their careers too.

He was more productive than Poe as the Eagles' starting NT the 2 years prior to 2016 in their 3-4. He was still the starter, but the Eagles rotated Beau Allen in much more frequently last year when they switched back to a 4-3. I dunno whatever you are going on about.

I'm not sure he will start but 1000 d-line snaps just walked out the door with Poe and the way Sutton rode him, so there will be plenty of snaps to go around for a 4..hell hopefully 5 man rotation.

Shots fired

The 84th best interior DL in football.

Certainly sounds like he will take Jaye Howard's job any day now.

I would be shocked if the Chiefs 2017 opening day lineup is not Bailey-Howard-Jones.

Eric Fisher is OK and there's a lot of questions about Ford. I recall people hating the Kelce pick at the time of the draft but don't recall anyone claiming he was a bust?

Funny how people like billay only remember the times I was wrong though.

So, I went into hiding about March, but yet I was right about Chris Jones (big time), Tyreek Hill, Dee Ford, and others. That makes a lot of sense Billay.

Only Harrison was a better run stuffer in 2015 according to your bible PFF. The change to a 4-3 in 2016 really ****ed him in a contract year.

Bennie Logan was such a great NT the Eagles were 32nd in run defense.

Slow your roll, homer.

You did go into hiding.

The scheme change in Philly hurt like half their front 7. Barwin, Kendricks, Logan, Curry, etc.

Guys that benefited and were beasts were Cox (clearly can play any scheme), Hicks and Bradham.

Doesn't mean those dudes who couldn't play in the 4-3 are bad players, they are just scheme dependent, they still have value and thankfully there are 32 teams in the NFL and no scheme is truly the same. Just have to find a new fit. Logan probably signed here because our scheme and fits his skills, and opportunity to rebuild his value in it.

From ****ing who? And for what? Because I was wrong about Justin ****ing March?

LMAO

You peaced out after Alex showed his true colors against the Steelers, and you realized this team was a cuck-in-waiting.

Bold strategy, cotton, let's see if it pays off.

If that were the case, why would I be back knowing Alex is still our ****ing QB?

You guys have some really flawed logic here.

ROFL your mauling of Dane and his son in '16 was impressive.
