New Falcons defensive tackle Dontari Poe weighed in at 346 pounds at the 2012 Scouting Combine and has been listed at that weight since, but he said in Atlanta hes going to be a little slimmer.

Poe says hes already lost a few pounds and after talking to Falcons coach Dan Quinn he plans to lose more and play around 15 or 20 pounds lower than his previous weight.

He just told me he wanted me to come in and play fast and be aggressive, Poe said, so around 330 is where Ill play at most of the year. I feel like that will be a comfortable weight for me, too.

Poe denied reports that he has back problems that have scared some teams off in free agency, and said hes going to be able to move well and do whats asked of him in the Falcons defense.

This style of defense, like I said, it lets D-linemen play, Poe said. It lets us play football, it lets us attack, it lets us go do what D-linemen were made to do. I definitely feel like it will be real good for me.

For most people, 330 pounds isnt slim and fast, but Poe isnt built like most people. Poe at 330 will be trim and ready to attack in the Falcons defense.
