    It's not just their sacks or lackthereof, it's their total tackles too. I may be mistaken, but I don't think Dorsey was even in top 3 on team in total tackles. Now, if he's eat up blocks to free LBs, that's one thing, but I think he's better utilized as a playmaker on the Dline. That's obviously just my opinion, of course.

    Yeah, I think that was the point. They run a 2 gap 3-4 in KC which is pretty old school. They want DE's to attract attention to free up LB's to tackle. That's why they're so "unsung". But I agree, he's more of a playmaker than anything.
