“He’s on schedule,” coach Romeo Crennel said. “In the past, guys who have been drafted in the first round and started to play, it takes them about three-quarters of a season to feel comfortable with how we want them to play and what their responsibilities are. He’s adapted very well. I think he’s making progress. (Against Cincinnati) he made a pass-rush move and got to the quarterback, and he was able to pressure him. He didn’t get the sack, but he was right on him in a one-on-one situation. We’ve said all along that he might be able to help us more (as a pass rusher) than other noses we’ve had in the past.”
Poe is often compared to Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson, other defensive linemen recently drafted by the Chiefs in the first round. But Poe is already giving the Chiefs more than Dorsey or Jackson ever did because he’s playing on passing downs, a time when Dorsey and Jackson have gone to the bench. Jackson, the third overall pick in the 2009 draft, knows the difficulty of being a defensive lineman and having to convert to the Chiefs’ two-gap system. Poe appears to be more advanced in that regard than either Dorsey or Jackson as a rookie.
hmm i dont get it. They trade him to a 4-3 team because hes not a good fit for the 4-3? wut?
Isnt the fact that he blew up at the combine the reason why they drafted him that high in the first place? He's fairly athletic.
I dont see any reason why they would trade their defensive anchor for the next 10 years, whether they are running a 4-3, a 3-4 or a 90-12828. Makes no sense to me.

Reid confirmed Chiefs would keep 3-4 defense: "This team here is invested in the 3-4, so let’s continue to build it and get better at it.’’
