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.

Dorsey playing a one gap is essentially the same as him playing 3 Technique in a 4-3. He's just shooting a different gap.
Dorsey was an explosive player in college. 69 tackles, 12.5 TFL, and 7 sacks as a DT in the SEC when he played half the year hurt is rare and explosive.
