The reason why he played well this year is because he's a phenomenally talented football player, and like Derrick Thomas, can be put in a scheme that minimizes his talents (a la, the Falcon) and still get results.
(I fully expect the reeruns on this board to now claim that I've said that Thomas=Dorsey)

The only reason the comparisons were made is really because of their build/height/weight. They are NOT similar players. Sapp was a real low center of gravity-natural get up the field pass rush guy. Dorsey is not, and did not do that at LSU. He played more of a 2-gap scheme and was in fact asked to occupy blockers a lot.
The Sapp comparisons never made a damned bit of sense at all. The one area I agree with you on is that I think Dorsey would be even better in a 1 gap 3-4 front because he would be allowed to get into the back field more than he did in this scheme. Romeo was big on running a mixed 30 and 40 front where Seymour moved inside on the 40 fronts and played a 1 gap set. I'm sure he'll establish that here too.
So I guess we'll find out who is right in that regard.
