It's clear to me that Dorsey and Jackson's primary job is to stop the run, which they have proved to be great at. I wish they woud give us a bit more passrush but I don't expect it to happen and with the rise of Justin Houston, Allen Bailey and hopefully a decent rookie season by Poe, why are you so concerned by Dorsey and Jackson pass rush?
Between Hali, Houston, Bailey, maybe Poe and Berry and Arenas as great DB passrushers, the passrush will be fine my friend, do not worry.

There is a lot of cause to be concerned about the pass rush. They were tied for 3rd worst in the league last season.
Dorsey and Jackson combined for a whopping ONE sack the ENTIRE season. That is pathetic.
So lets go with what you've dreamed up though.
Hali continues to be Hali and gets 12-14 Sacks.
Houston Continue where he left off and get 8-10 Sacks.
Dorsey and Jackson continue Being Dorsey and Jackson: 1 Sack
The DB's rushing the QB thing is a bit of a reach, but we'll go with it.
Arenas: 2 Sacks
Berry: 2 Sacks
Now lets say we get about 10 sacks from everywhere else (which is what we got last year) : That would put us at 34 Sacks on the season.
We will have improved from 29th int the league to about 20th.
Not good enough.
BUT
If Dorsey and Jackson do what a good 34 DE would do...Produce 4-5 Sacks each on the season, then we'd be top 10.
Or....close to Elite.
Point?
Dorsey and Jackson producing a combined 1 sack per season isn't going to cut it.
