Glenn Dorsey Then and Now

and I didnt notice that good observation!

I want that man in a Chiefs uniform!

once we get a true NT who demands a double team on almost every snap. Edwards did an admirable job, but the nose tackle is the foundation of the whole 3-4…a solid NT can make the 2 DE’s, the 2 OLB’s and the 2 ILB’s all look better than they are

I was one of the people that got annoyed by people wanting to trade him… thats the main reason I wanted to show where he stands in primarily a rookie season in the 3-4. thanks btw!

Now we just need to get Kray over here to drink some more!

because how many of his 54 tackles were in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage?
Im going to say most of them where close to the line of scrimmage or 3-4 yards whitin it. I dont see Dorsey chasing many people down much farther than that.. As far as behind the line Im not sure. Ill try finding that stat.

That’s for the talent evaluators to work out, in KC and other teams to whom KC might trade Dorsey. I think, as do others, here, that Dorsey’s ultimately of more value to KC as a player than as trade material. But if another team lusts for his services, and he’s agreeable and there’s a strong replacement in the wings, … And although there’s nothing I can point to other than circumstantial evidence, I think Dorsey + Jackson is a good LSU connection – a common bond that’s potentially very good for unit cohesion.

But it’s hard to tell how much more Dorsey will prosper with improved stout at NT and a more experienced DE on the opposite side. To my eye, he has pretty good power, good balance and good feet. He looks like he’s playing at a good weight for his frame, and we won’t notice him, much, next year, other than to generally observe that the front 3 are gettin’ it done, if Jackson comes into his own and Edwards/other step it up a couple notches.

Expect more speed and aggression from SOLB next year, too. It looked like Vrabel was used this year to side Jackson, but Vrabel’s not at his best, imo, in all the trash he had to play through in ‘09. He’s one guy I’d like to see have more freedom to decide his first couple steps, from a few yards off the ball. Boy, I do keep harpin’ on this Vrabel-to-SILB thing. Throw an Eric Norwood in the mix with Studebaker and Hali, and slide Vrabel inside. He’s currently the best diagnostician in the back 8.

So might new blood at C/G for contact drills in OTAs and camp.

But the Krumrie thing… Funny how Haley talked about already having a sit-down with Jackson, and a plan laid out for his offseason work. Suggests that evaluation of the #1 pick and the position coach was a high priority, and that Haley was less than satisfied with what he saw on the field and Krumrie’s impact on that.

Take New England for instance. They have Wilfork and the guy thats in Dorseys place (Mike Wright) Ever heard of him? me either… produced 5 sacks which isnt too shabby.

and welcome to AP Aiken

that was on cbssports.com? If so, then welcome…well even if you’re not, then I still welcome you. I ended up switching to here after a few years over there because I got tired of someone who goes by the name of “12 Rounds” and “GooGoo”. If you’re who I think you are, then you know exactly who I’m referring to.

I’m sure that’s just a coincidence though.

I got blasted a little bit a few weeks ago for suggesting that we should consider trading him in the offseason if there are any good offers. I have no doubt that he can play the position well, but if his past injures come back into play then he’ll end up being another wasted draft pick. I suggested that we should give him to the Rams or Lions for their 2nd & 3rd rounders, and now I think that probably isn’t enough compensation…but if we were offered Seattle or San Fran’s two first rounders for him, I’d still say do it.

He started all 16 last year and 15 this year. Somehow I don’t see that as injury prone.
