Dorsey in the 3-4.
 

Is it even remotely possible?

A couple speculations out there are that Pioli wants to gravitate towards the 3-4 with our defense.

I think whatever determinations you make about our defense have to be tied into what Dorsey, by far our most expensive defensive player (Surtain about to be released), is capable of.

I think it's pretty clear Dorsey's not NT material, but might he get by as a 3-4 DE?

What are your thoughts?

He isnt a 3-4 player at all.

No. I'm going to shoot you now.

sure, he's athletic enough and without this cluster**** of a coaching staff i think he'll improve greatly no matter what scheme we're in

My thoughts are that I'm tired of hearing people complain because we don't have the talent for a 3-4.

Newsflash: we don't have the talent for a 4-3 either. We just put up a record setting suck for sacks. And Dorsey can suck in a 3-4 just as much as he sucked in a 4-3...

That's my point of view as well.

But I think it's just such a bad fit.

There aren't a lot of 4-3 DTs that have made a successful transition to 3-4 DE.

He will be better than last year regardless of what scheme.

it's a tough one for me because I really like dorsey and want him to succeed. But I think we should switch to the 3-4, and he really doesn't have much of a spot in it.

This has been troubling me all day and I've come up with nothing. He would be undersized at any 3-4 line spot.

Seems like Spags and Schwartz are 4-3 guys anyway.

There are many ,many different variation of the 3-4. He can play DE in it.

Where would any of our guys fit in a 3-4?

Is DJ an ILB in a 3-4 scheme?

Could Pollard be used as a blitzing 3-4 OLB?

Tank is too small for the NT position.....so where would he fit at?

he showed flashes as a rookie. I expect the 'dorsey is a bust!' shit from ****ing n00bs and morons. you aren't either, brad. give the kid a chance--the only stat he didn't beat warren sapp in (comparing rookie stats) was sacks (sapp had three to dorsey's 1)... and take in the fact, for one moment, that sapp had 1) better coaching, 2) better talent surrounding him, 3) wasn't playing out of position.

dorsey will be a beast in a few years. to say bust right now is purely asinine.

Luis Castillo plays end for the Bolts, so I would expect Dorsey could do so as well. It's really more our complete lack of 3-4 LBs that would be the sticking point.

This was from a scouting report on him ...
