Chiefs The problem with Dorsey

milkman · 10-29-2008, 10:51 AM

People have become concerned with Glen Dorsey, and fear that he may not be all that was expected.

Whitlock has pointed to his knee injuries as a possible explanation for his lack of production.

Some people have pointed out that he hasn't developed any moves, and others have talked about the fact that he tends to take a step back at the snap.

The biggest problem I see is that he has a tendency to lower his head when he attacks the LOS, and when he does that, the battle is all but lost.

Regardless, all of the technique errors are correctable, and when corrected, he will be a force.

But give him time.

He's a rookie.

It takes time.

Especially at his position.
Besides, he's a former 5th overall pick so we're stuck with him for at least 2 more years.

I think we may need to identify a different Defensive Line coach though.

DT takes longer to develop than any position on the defense. I'm not concerned about him in the least.

Whitlock is just stirring shit.

My post wasn't directed specifically at Whitlock.

It was addressing the reasons that I've seen discussed, and the one, and probably biggest reason, that I haven't seen addressed.

Faneca's a wiley veteran in this league.
One of the most highly-touted FA O-Lineman available this off-season.

That doesn't bother me.

except for you have to have good coaching to solve these technique issues.

milkman · 10-29-2008, 10:57 AM

Look at that pic in the pass rush.

Where's his head?

Those jerkoffs are in such a bad ****ing position in that second photo. It makes me sick to look at it.

Indeed.

I'm not sure that Krumrie's that guy.

I agree about his vision. There was another run play in the 1st half where he was getting pushed to the inside and the runner ran right by him. If he'd been watching the play he could've spun and made the tackle, but it was obvious he was just watching the block.

Heh ... everyone thought Mario Williams was a bust after his first year and Bush was the clear winner. 2007 People went back on that prediction. Mario Williams looks like a player. Defense players usually take 2-3 years to get into there roll, with defensive scheme and technique changes.

Edit~~ I don't think that Reggie is not a player but we are so quick to label players who may not produce as much right out of college where they dominate.
