Saw 3 games this season of Memphis. Was thoroughly underwhelmed each time.
Here's a game vs. Arkansas State. Note how often he gets
1. Pancaked 2. Thrown to the ground 3. Run out of plays as he tries to run around OL instead of through them 4. run right past by a RB while a SINGLE blocker engages him, and he can't get off the block (or doesn't try because he has zero ball awareness)
now I know that means I've watched a grand total of 4 games of his, so I may have gotten 'the bad ones' but wow. This isn't exactly USC he's playing against here (or the other games)
Huge runs right up the middle

Quote: HELL NO!!! DON'T WANT POE!! SIR, YES SIR! Sarge, I don't think you have to worry about Poe being a Steeler as he'll be gone long before #24. But in the unlikely event the Steelers do draft Poe I think you strike me as the type of man the Steelers could use to help motivate him to improve his game to meet your standards.

We're 6 weeks away.
I don't know much, but I know everything you know now will change by then
I still don't believe he goes in R1. I'm calling my shot here. Last player in green room at RCMH
adds no value in rushing the passer. Run stuffers can be found in R4. Even ones that can run to orange cones really fast
I have him slotted in the 40-60 range. He's not even as good as Dan Williams or Terence Cody or Phil Taylor
if you can't dominate against Gardner Webb and Arkansas St., you aren't getting drafted in R1

I'm not a fan of Poe either, but somebody will fall in love with his potential. There's just not many guys on Earth who are as big, strong, and fast as he is, regardless of how good (or bad) a football player he is. I can't see him going outside the top 32.

Is there a rule that all fan-made sports highlight clips have to be set to hip-hop?
Don't get me wrong, I actually like a little bit of hip-hop. I just don't want to hear it everytime I want to watch a Barry Sanders video.

Much lesser
