Sacks per million

With 14 sacks between them it comes to 2 million /sack thru 12 games. While seven sacks isn't really that bad the lack of push by the d-line has left the back seven exposed. Were the Bengals right to gamble on these aging linemen. They played great last year putting pressure constantly on opposing offenses but have disappeared in most game this year. The cost goes down as the contract ages but so do these players.

It's a mess, but re-signing Dunlap and Atkins was not a wrong move and I don't believe these two are what is wrong with the defense. There's been a systematic breakdown on the back 7 for most of the year. Burfict doesn't seem to care anymore and Adam Jones, who was a leader in the secondary is gone.

Plus Marv has lost the locker room. I think that's pretty much a certainty at this point.
