That is not very good.

We can say it was the NT's fault, but that would be stupid to say imo because Kelly Gregg and Gordon did a decent job in the middle, at least as decent as the two ends did. Nobody got push/penetration with any kind of consistency during passing downs and that was part of the reason Tamba Hali was not as good/better than 2011's stellar performance.

I'm sure the staff is going with Poe at DE during passing downs this season. Pairing Tamba with Poe at RDE on that weakside is going to create some problems for offenses, I bet. Mix in Gordon at NT with Bailey at LDE and LOLB Houston next to Bailey, I believe they could develop something like a pass rush by november.
Poe will not play DE this year. He is a NT.
