QFT!

I would rather have Dorsey at NT than DE. I heard he struggled at DE when KC switched to a 3-4 can anyone confirm this??

First, I'm a BIG Dorsey fan and was estatic when we got him.
He under-performed in KC.
He sure did improve when he moved to NT.
The coaches are cross training both sides of the ball.
Has Ian ever played DE??

He was still a good run defender as a de, but he was drafted so high that the expectation is to be a great all around dlinemen.

No Ian hasnt, I think he would be a better DE then NT because of his size and quickness, but thats just me,

I think as long as Dorsey doesn't have to rush the passer he will be just fine. In KC I think he was expected to create havoc in the backfield, which he didn't. Here in SF, we have stout LBs who will do that.

Agree.
When he was in college he was pretty much unstoppable. He also had major press build up.
When he wasn't a sack artist many fans in KC thought he was a bust.
I think we'll see in at NT in some rotations and agree w/Darko that he'll do what Ray Mac did but, IMO, much better.

I predict that if he stays healthy, that he will be our best DL and win this year's Bill Walsh's Award.

I think a big measure of success for Dorsey-Ian-Dial (probable front 3) is how many tackle for losses Bowman will have. Bowman loves to knife through holes to blow up run plays, and he can only do that when he's kept clean of blockers. General yards per carry will be the biggest measure of success as a group. Dorsey should be getting replaced with Tank/Dockett on passing downs.

yeah, hoping that would be the very least..
What was Stubblefield sack total when he won the league's DPOY??
Anyone knows by heart??

Great point...it will also speak volumes to how well Wilhoite is keeping him clean as well.
Does anyone have the TFL team leaders over the past several years? You'd probably see Bowman, Brooks, Aldon, Willis, Justin, etc.
