[Chiefs] Chiefs Now Confident In DE Glenn Dorsey's Future

The way Pro Football Weekly hears it, Chiefs head coach Todd Haley and his staff have done nearly a complete turnaround on Dorsey and now view him as part of their future along the defensive line. Formerly a D-tackle, Dorsey might not have the speed or body type to be a prototypical 3-4 end, but he's gotten his weight down below 300 pounds and has proven to have a better grasp of the position than many thought he would, creating a good push up front and holding the edge against the run. Between Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, rookie Alex Magee and second-year man Wallace Gilberry, who has surprised with three sacks this season, the team has a corps of young talent that could develop into a difference-making bunch.

Our defensive line is one of the few if areas of the team I've noticed improvement on.

I am glad for Dorsey, but he still needs a beast NT to help him even more.

I have no confidence we can draft one, so we'll have to pick one up in FA.

I would definitely take Hampton if he has anything left in the tank. I'd want at least two years out of him, not sure if he has that though.

He's gonna be a FA isn't he?

As long as we don't give up any picks, I'll take whatever he's got left.

he does....imo he played some of his best football last season....he was way overweight and still more explosive off the snap than ever before...now he really trimmed down this offseason with hopes of getting extended. hes been rumbling through lines and getting decent pressure this year. he knows how valuable he will be to someone. he will want a shaun rogers-like deal

Dorsey has improved quite a bit IMO.
