There’s nothing earth-shattering in here, but it tells you a little bit about the prep Quinn did with Poe (watching three years of #film), where he’s going to play (next to Grady Jarrett, which I guess is obvious), and a little it about what his new coach thinks the hefty defensive tackle brings to the table. It would be fair to suggest that Quinn, a defensive line coach deep in his fast and physical heart, is excited to bring Poe aboard.

That signing, more than any draft pick the team winds up snagging at #31 and beyond, has the chance to be transformative for this defense. I can’t wait to see what Poe looks like when he gets to camp.
