Report: Serious concerns about DT Dorsey (1 Viewer)

[livefromDC]

I'll take his injury play over anyone else's healty play. He's impossible to block even when injured.

I'd definitely take him. It could happen also. It happens almost every year. He could be the Matt Leinart/Brady Quinn of this year. Ok ok i know hes not a QB.. But. It could happen.

Those players slid, and now we know it was for good reason...so thats not exaclty a good example. If Dorsey nose dives, I think we will take him because Loomis has expressed the need for a DT. But it wouldn't be crazy if we passed on him. If he is slipping its for a valid reason.

I'd love to have him. I think the injuries will be fine. This was probably just information put out by a team trying to kill his draft stock so they can get him.

Wouldn't stop every one of us LSU fans on here to go into a blind rage.

He's a tough guy. He's one of the most talented guys in the draft. But, if you're going to draft a guy that high and pay him all that money, you need to be very confident his injuries are at the very least fixable. It doesn't get easier in the NFL and a knee concern combined with a broken leg on a 300 pound plus guy is not a good thing.

I want to see the Dorsey Dance on a regular basis in the Dome.

For some reason I couldn't get the videos embedded.

He had this injury in 2006 and played for two seasons after it healed. I don't get it.

Just saw an interview on NFLN with him, he's definitely not working out. The leg injury was brought up as a reason, but alos said it mostly had to do with his grandmother's passing and therefore not being in the best shape since he had been grieving and not working out.

Please don't compare Branch to Dorsey. Branch on his best day couldn't hold Dorsey's jock on Dorsey's worst day. Branch was/is a wide body that clogged up the middle. Dorsey is much more dynamic and more of a Warren Sapp-type DT.

I luv LSU just as any non LSU student can but you've got to be realistic about this. If this guy is injured, like last years pick, do you really take a chance at the 10 spot?

Watch the Auburn game, then every game afterwards, and tell us would you take a chance on him?

 

[Ti Rider]

Just a guess but it appears a few teams just might be engineering a drop for Dorsey. Maybe a team somewhere in the 5-9 range. I'm looking at you New Engalnd Patriots......

That's interesting... they said much of the same thing about Deuce before the saints drafted him... he was considered to be injury -prone and was not durable enough to play in the NFL and we all know how that turned out.

I'm the biggest Deuce fan in the world, but he did miss 2 of the last 3 seasons with injuries, right?

I for one would be concerned by these reports. They don't come up out of nowhere. I know the guy's from LSU and all, but if this turns out to be another Sullivan it would set us back for years.
