I know he got pushed around regularly. If you didnt see that, you chose not to look...he played OK in the last two games, thats it. Dont trust defensive tackle stats, they are kept by the team and are very often falsified/exaggerated. NFLN has a show for top ten nfl myths and one of them (cant remember where it ranked) was the myth that tackle stats are accurate. They arent. If they were they would be figured into contracts.
If you cant tell already, I dont follow what other people think unless it makes more sense to me than what I know.
I drew my opinion of Dorsey off watching the games not looking at stats, He was completely owned in about half the games.
Dorsey was a rookie DT and played very much like one.
I understand very well he and every other defensive linemen we had was playing out of position as well. I had a thread on another board called flip flop where I pointed this out two weeks before Whitlock did.
