Star vs. Poe, comparison.

I haven’t kept up with football the past two years like I normally have but I was wondering what you thought was the difference between Star Lotulelei and Dontari Poe?

 

obviously Poe is bigger and a little younger but  how do they stack up against one another?

 

it seemed Poe is better or was better at getting to the Qb at least earlier in his career. His number sacks have gone down but I’m guessing that could be because they asked him to take up blockers more than going after the Qb.

 

we all know that Star was great at NT and against the run. His numbers might never have looked great but he did things that don’t always show up in the stat book. How good is Poe against the run? I was wondering what you think will happen to our run game with Poe?

 

Im guessing it will be the about the same, but I want your opinions.

 

also what about Poe’s health? I believe he had health problems before signing with Atlanta. Was that just a one year ordeal or still an issue?

star wanted a contract for a top tier 4 down guy. panthers offered him a contract that was more in line with what he actually is, a solid two or three down guy. he's not a 4 down guy.

he got the contract he wanted and we got a true 4 down DT for what we were offering star.

poe got to go where he wanted.

it's a win-win-win.

    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
    • I think we should, start new for the playoffs if everyone’s game.
