Dorsey is not a NT. He is a DE and he has gotten better the last couple of games for sure. Dorsey is too young and just learning the 3-4 to get rid of him like that. If being a bust is having better stats (besides a few less sacks) in his rookie season then Warren Sapp, then I guess he is a bust. He’ll figure it out.

I thought only the Redskins were arrogant enough to think that they could get teams to surrender a #1 or #2 for a player they don’t want or that isn’t playing all that well. Guess its catching?
Dorsey isn’t a NT. It is one of the biggest fallacies that a 4-3 DT can automatically play 3-4 NT. Assuming that is pretty much like assuming any WR can automatically play TE.

DT 58 covered it all. Dorsey came into the league at 297, him being 298 should concern nobody that liked him last season.
The problem with Dorsey, however, is that as DT 58 says, Dorsey is a penetrating UT-type DT, but either Dorsey’s leg problems from LSU are not behind him or he was just never that explosive. This little DT only ran a 5.28 at his personal workout last season, which was extremely slow for an UT-type. I’ve never seen a penetrating DT run that slow and be successful (Sapp and Tommie Harris were both in the 4.7 range and ALL of the good UTs have run under 5.0). Anyways, Dorsey lacks the lower-body strength to be an anchor-type 2-gap DT and as noted by his pathetic workout last year and his equally pathetic play as a pro (his one sack last season was when the QB was pressured by another player and basically tripped over Dorsey who had gotten maybe 2 yards past the LOS).
As far as Dorsey vs. Adams. I think Gaines Adams is horrible!!! It took him until his 6th year out of high school to dominate in college and he will never dominate in the NFL… but still Gaines can run… and Dorsey can’t (not even by DT standards), so trading for Adams was the most acceptable risk, and as bad as Adams has been, he’s still accumulated 13.5 sacks in just over 2 NFL seasons, this despite having ZERO strength and no real pass rush moves… advantage= Adams.

Dorsey could be traded, but this post is complete BS.
1. He is not a NT, not in the 3-4 or the 4-3, but a penetrating DT in a 4-3 and La Canfora should know that if he is not an idiot
2. He has played better in each game this year and was their best lineman by far the last two games, not that that is hard to do…
3. A penetrating DT in a 4-3 is almost always around 295- 305 pounds, especially when he’s only 6-1 tall
4. There is now team willing to take a chance on a guy who gained 50 lbs this offseason and hasn’t done anything as a pro and then give a 2nd or even a first round pick for him. Especially when you consider that there is a deep class of DT’s likely to declare this year.

NFL Network (via Steve Wyche) backtracked on La Canfora’s story about Dorsey on Friday.
But even ignoring that, this whole post deserves a big “WTF”. The Chiefs aren’t calling anyone about Dorsey, but a league source tells you he’s on the block?
Is the league source Scott Pioli?

He was shopped to the Bears also. The Bears had to make a choice and they chose Adams. They can’t wait for Marinelli to start working with him.
