Our pass rush has been touted as amazing for the past 5 years. It has not been good in at least the last 3. Geno I am not worried about, but we have no elite DEs and haven't for a long time, and it shows. 

I'm saying you can't take a former Pro Bowler, give him only 12 snaps a game, and then blame him for not putting up big numbers.

Doubly so when you're busy giving more snaps to worse players.

Dunlap had 9 sacks last year, 8 sacks the year before. His 1 sack is a letdown, but it's also tied for the 2nd most on the team right now. There's zero chance he's worse than some of the scrubs getting serious playing time right now.
