I agree but 3 NT's are a lot.

Let's go Glenn. I'll take all the news and depth we can get. Give people 60 minutes of non stop motors.

Non stop motors 👍 This youth movement is gonna be fun to watch! Praying for a healthy year! Hell yeah!

Agree

Imagine if we had Ian Williams available too

glenn is a good football player and another under the radar valuable free agent pick up. thanks to our good depth we already have on the line. it was nice we did not have to rush him back. its all good

god this is the truth. if not this week.. you know he will be the guy who gets the ax when lynch gets back.. IF ray ray and hodges continue to play well

I don't get it.. He's not under the PUP, he's on the actual 53 man roster?

We don't have to cut anybody until Lynch comes back. Dorsey is already on the 53. If you're talking about whose spot he takes on the 46 my guess would be TJE.

I hope he can give us a good dozen snaps a game and I will be happy. Could have quite a rotation with him, Blair and Buckner off the bench.

FA sho. I say rotate him in whenever you feel like he has an advantage going up against linemen thatre a bit winded. He should be as strong as ever in his upper body, he's experienced... I think he does a great job in running downs. Don't think he'll be needed for any passing downs with our depth/versatility.

I have serious questions about whether Dorsey has any value left whatsoever. He's averaged less than half a season per year over the last 4 years in the league. He's 31 years old, and he's coming off yet another major injury.

He was actually an excellent addition to the team when the team signed him, but Seattle's OL took him out the following year.

Can he be one of those players you think is done but just keeps thriving in his 30s? I have serious doubts.

Niners have tons of cap space next year; I hope Dontari Poe doesn't re-sign. AA, Poe & Buck' would be insane.

As long as he can play he's good to go. Probably one of the better NT's in the league. Much better than Purcell.
