The idea that Poe's primary position should be in a 3-technique is crazy, crazy, crazy.

His top value is as a 0-technique. His second value is in the 5-technique. And his biggest value is that in a 3-4, he's an unbelievably rare linemen that can one day play all the techniques.

Again, another example of reducing a player to a role that doesn't highlight his strengths.

270 lbs is plenty of weight to play on the end in a 4-3.

Well look i dont know much about this shit Im just spitballing if you will. I just think Poe and Dorsey can play off each other in 43. I gota research and learn about the techniques. Im not gona try and BS like i know everything. Just trying to throw out a dline theory

I played at 260 in High school back in the late 70's. I was usually the biggest guy on the field.

Huh? In a 3-4, your OLBs are your traditional 3-4 guys. Your 3-4 DEs tend to be 4-3 DTs, if anything.

The prototypical 4-3 DE is 280+ lbs and has ability to rush the passer and be tough in the trenches against the run. Some have done fine at a lower weight, but not all of them are very good run defenders and many of them get flat-out manhandled by the run. Houston in particular was NOT a good run defender at all in UGA. Hali is NOT very good against the run in a 4-3 and he has physical limitations of short arms.

And again, having 2 of them on the same line is just asking for a bottom third run defense.

Right now, the most smoke is surrounding Monte Kiffin, so yes.

I agree with this.

I think Poe might be able to play anywhere. Dorsey just doesn't get it done for me.

Well he can be brought back as a run defender. He's good at that. I dont want to switch. We got a good nucleus.

And I still think that Tyson Jackson and Dontari Poe being in the 0 technique firing through the A gap would be awesome.

They are both quick and powerful and have big bodies with long arms to bat passes away in the middle.

Jackson doesnt do much for me. But he was making some plays unlike Dorsey. Though i like dorsey in the 43

Anything is better than having the lineman stand at the line and play patty cakes whilst the QB eats a sandwich in the pocket till he spots an open reciever.

I gota say fellas its SOOOOOO nice to be able to talk about FOOTBALL instead of Egoli. BTW did you guys hear Babb say Pioli referred to himself as Jesus Christ? He said he feels his pain. LMAO
