Fortunately that's one name we'll lose in the offseason that we don't even have to put much effort into trying to retain.

And yet the Ravens ran to Dorsey's side 5 times for 75 yards.

And the Chargers ran to Dorsey's side 7 times for 36 yards.

Watch Dorsey play some time. The dude is a hoss. In the running game he's practically an immovable object.

The whole reason we gave up that 286-yard game to a scrub in 2009 was because he was out.

The Bucs are going to pound the shit out of our DL if Dorsey doesn't play this week. Carl Nicks ring any bells?

Ropiatui blows - that doesn't mean that Dorsey is invaluable.

You can't win in this league with down-lineman that do only 1 thing well unless that one thing is rushing the passer and even then only if you have a wealth of guys that can otherwise cover for him.

Dorsey is a decent run blocker because he doesn't even try to defend the pass. He doesn't even attempt to move blockers back (and again, I do not want to hear how that's not his job - it is. It isn't his job to split the gaps, but it is his job to push the pocket and he doesn't even attempt it). He sits his fat ass at the line of scrimmage and holds, regardless of down/distance.

WTF makes that guy worth a big FA contract?

He's as replaceable a player as there is.
