Outside perspective : Steelers fans thoughts on Poe's potential.

I honestly don't know much about this guy, except for what I have briefly scanned on this board over the weekend. But, if he is to be our NT, well, he definately has the size. And if he eats 2 and 3 blockers at a time, I don't care if he ever even whiffs the QB, that's not his job. Leave that to the DE's and OLB's.

Let's hope he turns out to be awesome, and not, as mentioned in another thread, Ryan Simms part II.

Trying to remember. Wasn't Ryan Simms a late camp hold out? Seems like that always hurted a guys development.
