I like the energy an article like this creates, but I gotta question a couple aspects of it.
...that leaves Hali one on one with the left tackle almost every down, a battle he should win most of the time...I thought that experiment went down in history as a collosal fail last year? I also read elsewhere that Vrabel and Hali flip flopped positions and that Hali is practicing at lolb, I think if he has a chance in this defense it is on the strong side. jmo though
...Dorsey matched up one on one with a guard is a matchup I will take every day of the week...really? I understand he will be helped by shading him, but where he was lined up was only part of the problem, he needs to step up the intensity of his play and do the things it takes to beat the man across from him. Hopefully, Fanaca, Mawae and a few others taught Dorsey enough "lessons" about what it takes to succeed in the NFL that he put in alot of work and is a new player this year. He will never be a bust, but may never play to full expectations either.
Should be the most interesting year in quite awhile.
