No.

Period.

not even worth 'trying'. Jesus.

not to mention we don't have LBs for the 3-4.

Dorsey Tank Turk

D. Williams DJ ???? Hali

But we're chock full of LBs for a 4-3?

I think we're sticking to 4-3. Schwartz, and Spagnoula, are versed in both IIRC

I was thinking about this the other day. Dorsey doesn't seem to fit. I'm still confident that Dorsey is going to develop into the cornerstone for the defense. At the same time, you shouldn't scheme an entire defense around a single guy with some question marks.

So, yeah, its tough. I'm content to wait and see what Pioli and the upcoming coaching staff want to do; there is going to be some controversy either way.

No matter what defense this team uses we're going to need a whole new set of LB's so no one should be to worried about that.

good point.

we pretty much have sh*t for LBs regardless of line/lb scheme.

:D

:clap:
exactly; that's the least of our worries.


Dorsey can't even get good penetration 1 on 1 in A gap consistently.

Gonna ask him to line up heads up against a center? lol. he'll end up in the secondary once the ball is snapped.

Thanks-Made me laugh. :thumb:

DAMMIT SCOTT! :cuss:

Pretty sure we would need to go get a NT.. Dorsey would be a three technique...

Here is what we would basically be forced to run if we did it with the current roster...

Dorsey / Bulked up Tank / Turk

The biggest issue is a lack of a NT... Dorsey would be fine in the 3-4.. may even give him the space to be a playmaker like we thought he would be.

Yes, Dorsey can play DE easily in a 3-4

It really depends on what type of 3-4. I don't think Dorsey would work as a DE in a 2 gap scheme, but he might be able to play DE in a more aggressive 1 gap scheme like they use in Baltimore or Dallas.

Thank you, I was beginning to think I was alone in that opinion

I dont like the idea of having to change dorsey into a 3-4 guy, but if anyone on our team HAD to do it I would put my money on him because of his pure unrefined athletic ablility.
