At least that's what I think he meant, and I tend to agree with it.

Bingo. I'm far more confident that a Dorsey-anchored line would be a force in the league for the long term than a line with Chris Long on it.
Look at LSU's defensive play this past season. You could tell whether or not Dorsey was in the game based on the sizable difference in their on-field performance.
