I don't credit Haynesworth or blame Dorsey entirely for those stats, but the fact is that people ran all over the Chiefs DL and they did not run on the Titans DL.

Dorsey accrued tackles because teams weren't afraid to run right at him.

In Haynesworth's rookie year?

Very, very few DL are historically worse than what the Chiefs put on the field this year.

Haynesworth, Carlos Hall, Kevin Carter, and a mixture of John Thornton/Henry Ford were the starters. And Haynesworth was lucky enough not to have retards for coaches.

I'm not coming close to denying that Haynesworth had advantages over Dorsey. But there's no way to say that Dorsey had the better rookie year. Dorsey, because of bad coaching, bad supporting cast, and/or other reasons was blown off the line more than not. And we got run on because of that.

I wish I had saved some of the games now. It would be interesting to see how many times they ran at Dorsey compared to how many times they ran around him.
