I'm starting to think - actually I have been thinking this all season - that Star was way more important to our defense than we realized. Poe just doesn't seem to be tying up blockers like Star did, and the result is that our linebackers just don't seem to be able to make plays. The last few years it seemed like Luke and TD and Shaq were always free and with a full head of steam streaking across to make the tackle. This season, that's not the case and they just have no room to play and they are always having to fight off blockers before they can make a play. Which means the LBs don't make the tackle at all and our safeties have to do it or the LBs are much later to the play and make the tackle several yards deeper than in previous seasons. Poe has done absolutely nothing IMO. I've been watching him, and he appears to be a huge drop off from Star. Star meant way more to the defense than I think we realized and it's showing. And I think the front office and coaches figured Poe to be better at tying up blockers and he's just not getting it done at all.
 
Don’t forget that Butler was supposed to replace Star and hasn’t stepped up.
 
Butler is a damn bust, the only time you ever hear about him is 15 yard personal fouls
 
It made sense to take a DT to allow Star to go. Butler just sucks. His DL picks after KK and Star have sucked.
 
I mean Poe was our huge (pun intended) off-season signing. Dude is crazy athletic for his size (previous blocking/red zone QB experience). It's pretty shocking and unfortunate how much of a bust he's been so far.
 
Seems like Obada hasn’t been getting snaps lately. I don’t have the stats in front of me but I don’t think I’ve heard his name called in a month.
 
Saints doing to the Bengals what we did to the Bucs.
 
LOL Falcons. They're done.

Skins hold Bucs to 3 in Tampa.
 
The Bucs had 501 yards and scored 3 points.
