What are you willing to trade for him?

[pantherfan]

What are you willing to trade for him?
astar DE that wants out of here.thigpen plus some draft picks and you can have jp

[Coach]

If we pull off a Thigpen/Peppers trade then I would be doing backflips.

[windwalker]

Wish the Bears would trade for Thigpen...

[pantherfan]

or if KC is going to a 3-4 what are you going to do with dorsey i dont see him fiting in a 3-4 and we need a QB and DT...here in carolina

[Coach]

Dorsey for Peppers in a heartbeat. Dorsey/Thigpen for Peppers...not so fast. Although I think it could make sense.

We can't trade Dorsey. The cap hit would kill us. We'll give you Tank and Thigpen for Peppers.

[Coach]

No way would I give up Dorsey for Peppers, we need a run stuffer and if we get a DE that can rush the QB, it makes Dorsey's job easier which is one of the reasons why he had a poor year in his rook year. We have nobody that can rush on our line other than Dorsey but if we add that DE , it gives him help and less men in his face. Thigpen for Peppers, maybe a late draft pick but I like it straight up personally.

The problem is finding a place for Dorsey in a 3-4.

[jmlamerson]

The problem is finding a place for Dorsey in a 3-4.

I think he'll be tried at DE and in a DT rotation. My gut says we keep him for 2009 and 2010 simply because it's too expensive to get rid of him.

[yashi]

Dorsey will play DE and shift to DT on passing downs... he certainly has a place in a 3-4. Peppers on the other hand should go nowhere near a 3-4 if he has any sense.

[jmlamerson]

He is a natural DT so put him in the middle of the line as the DT. With a good rushing DE that can get penitration around the LT, all OL will need to compensate and that will leave Dorsey in the middle to ram up the gut. That also works the other way, if he is getting too much penitration in the middle teams will double team him and the DE can get in there for the sack. If our LB's are upgraded like I hope with DJ, Vrabel and Curry as well as maybe going after Brooks from Tampa who is currently a FA we could have one of the best LB crews in the league. We certainly have the cap room for it. Our Defense could shape up to be better than we thnk it could be. Some of this is speculation but hey we know what we have lets only hope LOL.

Well, a NT in a 3-4 doesn't really need to get to the passer. We need a space eating guy who can collapse a pocket and draw double teams. Dorsey really isn't that. He needs a 4-3 system in which he can be lines up in the gap. Not to mention that he's smaller than most 3-4 DEs, much less NTs.

[Codac]

Dorsey, Glenn (http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/glenn_dorsey/) DT 6-1 297 08/01/85 2 LSUI think he is plenty big enough and he can always put more bulk on. He needs to have a D Coach that will take the time to work with him and develop him into a NFL calibur DT-NT. I am not argueing your point, I just wouldn't try to convert him into something he didn't do at any level in the game. Let him do what he is meant to be and aquire the things we need.

Not even. I don't think you know what your talking about. He needs about 30 more pounds to be a 3-4. Not to mention a wee bit short.

[jmlamerson]

Dorsey's 6'1" in high heels. He wasn't measured at the combine, remember.

[KU4LIFE]

Like mentioned, I think Dorsey is going to be tried at DE first and foremost. I think with his burst, he might turn into a pretty nasty 3-4 DE. Guys like Canty and Oshansky are literally Dorsey's size already and Dorsey has the motor to get pressure on the QB from the outside imho.

[jmlamerson]

We all know that a NFL player isn't just measured by how big you are in a physical measure but how big the heart is. Dorsey has alot of heart IMO and with the right coaching behind him I think he can do it. It wouldn't hurt to have another DT to have on the roster to come in every now and then to give him a breather, I never said he would do it on every down I just said I think he can do the job.

No, you can measure a NFL player by his size. There will never be a 160 lb. LB, no matter how much heart he has.

Dorsey has potential as a 4-3 DT. But he isn't strong enough or big enough to be a 3-4 NT. He may work as a DE, and we should try him as such.

[DT14PRIEST]

I won't knock his height so much as his weight. Dorsey is a bantam weight when it comes to playing inside on the 3-4 at NT. I think he tipped the scales at 297? On average the starting NT in the NFL last year was 325. Unless he starts pounding away at the table he'll never be an effective NT.

:funnypost: That cracks me up. :lol:

[Chief Tyler]

I think the only real measure of an NFL player is the size of his contract. Just ask Haynesworth and Dan Snyder. You're never going to see a guy unlike Haynesworth make $100 million in 7 years, no matter how much heart he has....


:fatlock:

[honda522]

Good luck with that, there is going to be a Qb competition this year.

[jmlamerson]

Good luck with that, there is going to be a Qb competition this year.

Um, no, there won't.

EVERYONE.

I know that many of us believe that Thigpen played well enough to merit consideration for the starting job in 2009. I understand and appreciate this view.

But it ain't happening.

We traded a 2nd rounder for Cassel and will sign him to a long, expensive extension soon. He is our starter. Thigpen is our backup or he'll be traded.

If you think otherwise, you want things to be one way, when they're another.

Don't forget that other teams also can call running plays. And when they do, Dorsey will get eaten alive at NT in a 3-4 scheme. I'm open to the idea of seeing what he can do at DE in a 3-4.

I'm not ripping on Dorsey. I like him and if we were sticking with a 4-3, then I think he has a bright future. But I think his future is brighter in a 4-3 scheme vs the 3-4. We'll see. I hope he can light it up at DE in a 3-4. That would be ideal.

[chief31]

Give us Jordan Gross!

BINGO!

Agreed. I think he has alot of potential as a 3-4 DE.


I know I will prolly get pounded by everyone applying for a media position here on the forum but I am sticking to my guns about this. Dorsey is a strong young buck and I have confidence in him. Then again , if I am wrong so be it......:bananen_smilies046:

But I also think that he could put on weight and be pretty effective as a NT.

It's kind of a longshot. And likely wouldn't be any good immediately. But I can't rule him out.

[DT14PRIEST]

I seriously hope so, even though my spirits are high right now I'm having a hard time picturing Dorsey as a DE.

I could be wrong, maybe he is a stud in the making.

[balto]

Dorsey/Thigpen/Hali

FOR

Gross/Peppers

[pantherfan]

Give us Jordan Gross!
if you want a player like gross you should check out
jamon merdith OT from south carolina he is in the same mold as gross and he had a very good combine

or jarred cook TE from south carolina i want to see him go to a team that he can become something in..his 40 was faster than some WR he will be very good at the next level at 6,5 he ran a 4.5

[wubfree]

only someone from Carolina (or a fantasy football fanatic) would say "give us Thigpen"! jk.

[Pro_Angler]

Coach we disagree on a lot of things but I must say that wouldn't be bad at all, as much as i love thig.
