That's exactly what it feels like.

I don't take any reports of "interest" seriously anymore.

 

[Donpingon]

This better not make these losers pass on Kinlaw if he drops

 

[Texas Ace]

Poe brings more pass rush and is a bit younger, although I think Harrison is probably still better against the run while Suh is the most well-rounded of the three, but he's the oldest.

It's hard to argue that there's a clear cut best option but I'd probably go with Suh if we're talking a 1 year deal and ignoring the money.

Yeah, if we're only doing one year then I too would chose Suh.

If it's 3 years, give me Harrison because we haven't had a guy who collapsed the run on his own since Parcells was here.

Oh, cool, so only teams running a 3-4 can have run-stuffing 320+ lb. NT's?

It's funny to me when people who don't actually study football throw out half assed comments like this because the only prism through which they understand football is in the dysfunctional way the Cowboys operate. So because the Cowboys refused to have any DT over about 300 lbs due to Marinelli's bullshit this must mean that they're going to a 3-4 now that they've signed one.

This guys a gangster? His real names Clarence.

To me Harrison and McCoy just make the most sense as a combination. Two guys that each sort of specialize in their own area.

It was a pretty poor assumption because Carolina was not a true 3-4 with both McCoy and Poe.

Clarence needs to stick to just reporting on stories that others have already broken.

When he attempts 'insight', he looks like a moron.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yeah, I don't get the 34 assumption. McCoy is your classic 3 tech, Poe the 1 tech. And I don't think Lawrence is a stand up 34 OLB.

Did he sign somewhere?

I'm assuming he thinks the Poe thing is done and he isn't considered?

This team has had issues stopping the run when it mattered the most, so I’d lean towards Harrison. I’d also like to see the Cowboys get another dynamic edge guy to help Lawrence and get another athletic LB on the field.

Exactly. It’s retardation to take the team’s best defender and turn him into a linebacker. He could do it, but why?

The position is 1T and Poe is built for it. He just is unlikely to remain healthy for 16+ games.

 

[Angrymesscan]

If rather have snacks than poe, easily.

 

[ravidubey]

Poe is way more talented than Harrison ever was. Unfortunately he’s far more brittle at this point too

Overall, Poe has been quite healthy and reliable before this 2019 injury.

 

[Newt]

I won't bitch about it. If we end up with a combination of Lawrence, McCoy and Poe up front I consider that a big upgrade. In fact we have been begging for a d-line like that for years. Granted i wish they were a little younger but beggars can't be choosers. Now, take those three and find a way to get production out of the other defensive end and hopefully we start seeing some turn overs.
