Chiefs' Dontari Poe poses massive challenge for Texans

Grappling with Kansas City Chiefs heavyweight nose tackle Dontari Poe is an arduous task.

Poe is mobile and massive at 6-3, 346 pounds and extremely disruptive and hard to budge at the line of scrimmage. He's a two-time Pro Bowl selection.

"He's a load," said Texans offensive guard Jeff Allen, a former Chiefs teammate. "Not just him, but they've got Jaye Howard and Allen Bailey. All three of those interior guys are some of the best in the league. We're going to have our hands full. I think we'll be up for the challenge and we'll be ready."

Poe had six sacks in 2014 and was named to the Pro Bowl for the second time. Last season, he had 39 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery and rushed for a touchdown.

During the 2014 year, Poe started all 16 games with 6 sacks and a pass defended on 46 tackles. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for a second year in a row.

“Very good player, plays very low to the ground," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "Very smart player. Understands blocking schemes. Really good in the passing game. Those guys have given us a problem just as much as the outside guys. It’s a big challenge for our offensive line.”
