To this point, who has performed better- Tank or Turk?

I remember Tank stopping a running back down on the goal line on 3rd down, I believe. Blew through and hit him in the backfield

Was that a preseason game on Hard Knocks?

Turk should be the next Jimmy Wilkerson. A guy who comes in and can rush the passer from the tackle position on 3rd down and backup both end positions.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tank has a really good year. It usually takes tackles a while to get going and he has some unique athleticism for a man his size. As soon as he figures out how to use leverage a bit bitter him and Dorsey could possibly give us a tackle tandem as potent as the Williams brothers.....wouldn't that be ironic with the whole Jared Allen deal.

Neither, at this point.

Long term, I have no idea, with Dorsey in the mix now. Can't play all 3 of them every down, so somebody's going to start and somebody's going to rotate in. I'm guessing Tank gets the playing time, while Turk backs up Dorsey.

I think it will be Boone / Dorsey / Tank / Hali primarily, bringing in Turk on passing downs. And we'll rotate other guys in as needed to keep 'em fresh...

I'm sorry but I don't remember these guys covering kicks.

If that's the case, he was a poor draft choice.

As late as March 2007, he was ranked in the Top 50 players, some projections having him as a first-rounder (same with Tank - Rick Gosselin had him as a first round choice in March 2007 as well).

Wilkerson was a 6th. I don't think he was solid or spectacular, though for some reason, Tampa Bay seems to LOVE the Chiefs defensive lineman (Sims, Wilkerson and the bidding war for Allen).

I hope that Turk is a much more serviceable DE than JW. I hope he's a 5-8 sack guy a year and allows Hali to flourish.

WFT? Turk was our best return man last year. Damn, where's the love.

4 returns for 40 yards with a long of 14.

Will you please add another selection to your poll? I think NY58 will be better than Tank, Turk and Dorsey.

Geez, I hope that isn't the aim. Why spend a 2nd round pick on the next Jimmy Wilkerson? If that is the best we can hope for, then that was a wasted pick.

I've seen this "takes a while for tackles" quite a bit here lately. If that is the case, then I guess we aren't expecting much from Dorsey this year. Or is he the magical exception to the rationalization we use when hoping Tank and Turk improve this year?

Well, no, of course all three wouldn't play every down but all three could be starters if Turk is pushed back outside to play DE. Not saying it should or will happen but it seems like a real possibility. At this point the Dline is almost as big a mystery as the Oline- I guess we know the players but we don't know where or how they will be used.
