i would take him over poe anyday
I am personally biased against lsu dts since they have not panned out for us so far.
Not opposed to the idea, and certainly not a fan of Poe's... any word on how he would transition to a 3-4 NT?? dude is a 4-3 DT right now and looks like he is built solid like he would be a DE in a 3-4..not overly big like a 3-4 NT
Just wondering what the reviews are about that. if anyone has any
If you look at the obvious weakness of our Team losing to teams like Denver it was becuase the our Defensive line was getting pushed back 5 yards allowing everyone run on us.
We were the 26th ranked defense against the run, giving up an average of 4.2 yards a carrier. If my math is correct. That is a first down every 3 plays.
So are you telling me that this is a result of of our two Pro-bowl Line backers not doing their job, cause I would beg to differ.
Also based on the clip provided, He is only making plays by using his motor and shedding his block after the rest of the defense broke down the pocket. A lot of his plays he is being blocked back by one player and not a double team.

Not this $#% again... check NFL DL tackles:
1 Jason Pierre-Paul 86
2 Ahtyba Rubin 83
3 Calais Campbell 72
4 Jared Allen 66
4 Domata Peko 66
6 Haloti Ngata 64
7 Glenn Dorsey 62
8 Phillip Taylor 59
9 Sione Pouha 58
9 Justin Smith 58
11 Antonio Garay 57
11 Jeremy Mincey 57
13 Brandon Mebane 56
13 J.J. Watt 56
15 Tyson Jackson 55
That's the rankings in the entire NFL and the Chiefs have #7 and #15 thanks to their "LSU DLs". Best yet, Dorsey is really a 4-3 DT who's had to be retrained & restrained to be a 3-4 DE... and you think he hasn't panned out?! They make up the best base 3-4 DE combo in the entire league. They account for 6.25% and 5.98% of the team's tackles, respectively - all while eating up blockers to free linebackers ( just count how many times Dorsey is doubled a game... ). Add to the fact that they don't make tackles down the field in coverage like linebackers do - their tackles all come near the line of scrimmage, and what more impact do you want? Its a base 3-4 - not a 4-3, not a hybrid like Wade Phillips runs; these guys have run responsibility each play, every play.
I'm by no means vouching for Brockers - I think he needed more time in the college - but to be disappointed in GD & TJ is flat out ridiculous.

Bleacher Report makes rankings based on soft criteria. It's very debatable. I prefer PFF, at least they use hard criteria.
