Our defense, if we drafted Ansah and Nico Johnson.

I think he will turn out to be a nice rotational player in this defense.

My gut feeling on it is that Poe was Pioli prize first round pick and Powe was just a 6th rounder so Pioli told Crennel to play Poe all he could. You could and probably right about the discipline part so I'm hoping that the new coaching staff can work well with Powe. I do just want to see him get and take the opportunity when given to him to push hard so he can be successful. If anything push Poe to be worried about his job.

I do think Pioli expected Poe to play every down last year like he did at Memphis.

***** probably told Crennel to bench Cassel as well.
