49ers signed Glenn Dorsey

Let's see what Tomsula can do this time

Surprising. I knew it was coming but I'm still surprised. Dorsey had been with the Chiefs for five seasons after KC took him with the fifth overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. He was set to be the next great defensive tackle but in Dorsey's second year the new regime moved to a 3-4 defense, which didn't allow him to be the explosive player many of us thought he would be.

That didn't make him a bad player. He was fine at what he was asked to do with the Chiefs. He moves to San Francisco where he joins one of the NFL's best defenses. The 49ers obviously have a plan for him, he visited the team less than 24 hours after free agency opened. Will he play defensive end? Move inside? I'll be interested.

I'm pretty excited about this. Seeing Soap get 4 mil a year and hearing that RJF may get 5-6, getting a guy like Dorsey for less than either is huge. I just don't see how he could be any worse than Soap was last year. Further, I really like how this coaching staff has the ability to get the most out of their talent. Dorsey was dripping with talent out of college, maybe a fresh start with the best staff in the league will get him to his potential. Great signing.

The guy is tenacious off the ball. With Justin Smith commanding double teams, and teams worrying about the Aldon stunt, Dorsey could be the perfect guy to fill that hole in the middle. They should be able to get pressure up the middle without blitzing ILBs

FoxSports.com's Peter Schrager on DL Glenn Dorsey's potential with the 49ers: "This is the perfect kind of guy to join the 49ers. He's had his moments in Kansas City, but was really languishing out there… I remember when Glenn Dorsey was a junior at LSU and there was talk that he'd be a top-5 pick. He went back for his senior year and dominated… The Atlanta Falcons had the No. 3 overall pick that... year and took Matt Ryan. A lot of people were shocked they didn't take Dorsey. He was that dominant of a player in college. The talent was there… I still think that talent is there. He's a young guy, this could be trouble. You put him with Justin Smith and that coaching staff; watch out, this could be an amazing signing."

Our NT position has never really been a two-gap player. Dorsey can handle the role Soap played.
