Imagine telling 2012 Huddle that we'd have both Kuechly and Poe eventually

Numbers are in fact #true.

Well damn. DT rotation is stacked. Wonder if Short and Butler will see DE reps sometimes. We’ve done that a few times. 

I imagine they have to be playing Butler at DE sometimes. The dude is never gonna see the field.

Hated the pick at the time. It looks even worse now. But, we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out. We tend to rotate DTs in and out quite a bit.

i like the move. the drop off from Star to Poe in production and how it actually will equate to our team winning games is non-existent.

At the time, it looked like we might lose Short.

[LinvilleGorge]

Also makes me wonder if Butler doesn't get shopped around leading up to the draft.

Still can't find proof that this is legit anywhere outside of the huddle, would love for it to be true, just can't take anybody serious here

Was Poe really that good last year? I remember he was solid with KC but trended down at the end of his tenure there.

By the way, fug the comp picks now, we are done. 

Put his beside Short--the pass pressure will be inside.

This makes our DE situation better too.   They have to leave tackles on an island.  Imagine what Luke and TD can do through A gap on blitzes when we have 2 DTs who can get to the QB.  This was a good move--a bit pricey, but who isn't on the second day of free agency?

I think that was more in case we weren't able to resign KK last year.

players who suck dont see the field. when he plays, 20% of the time hes okay/good. im sure in practice they hate what they see also.

I think we'll sign at least one bargain basement veteran safety and I at least hope that safety is very high on our list going into the draft. Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to taking two. Even a Star/Short style double dip.

Yeah, with Adams being 100 years of age, it wouldn’t hurt to have two.
