Panthers signed DT Dontari Poe, formerly of the Falcons, to a three-year, $27 million contract.

 

The Panthers took two days to find their Star Lotulelei replacement

 

Yeah, I saw that.  I like Poe's game.

I didn't say "get sacks".

 

Quick pressure up the middle forces the QB to get rid of the ball quickly.  A lot of offenses are predicated on timing and getting the ball out.  Penetration up the middle through DT is how you knock that timing off.  You don't build a defensive line in 2018 by putting two block eating "run stoppers" together at DT, bottom line.

yes you do  :P

 Just have them put their hands off and shut down the middle of the field when after they push the pocket back 3 yards. Simple.0:)

 

NTs who eat/ smother two Lineman, certainly could push a pocket in one on ones.

I love these guys.

Hampton and Jenkins are fine historical examples.

Still miss Ted Washington :wub:

I hear he was cleared for his pro day?  

He is going to be fine. He has a documented history from College and was allowed to play. Combine Docs were not aware of the history.

Read that from his quotes Combine week

I would have taken either. Falcons kept him one season after Chefs had him.

These players are absolutely scheme fit and i like where this scheme is going !

Not too strange actually. Bills have very little cap wiggle room and are waiting to see who lese they sign. Likely agreed to terms on two different contracts with Star's reps. And will choose one depending on how much cap room they need. We will know it within a day or two, if not today itself.

for those that were hoping for an AJ type deal.?

 Bills think he is a great fit for the vision that McDermott has. And showed that with the contract. I am cool with it.

 Finish the Puzzle with  some serious LB upgrades Beane
