In just 8 games with Seattle Dunlap had more tackles for loss (6) than any Bengal player did for the entire season. Dunlap also had 4.5 sacks in those 8 games while the Lawson led the Bengals in sacks with 5.5 in 16 games. And Dunlaps 12 QB hits in 8 games were more than any Bengal except Lawson had in 16 games.
As for injuries, Lou had Reader and McKenzie healthy for the first three weeks of the season and we ranked 24th in yards allowed.
Agreed. Dunlap's departure definitely was a shame. Now, I was and still am of the opinion that he should've gone since he was visibly giving up on plays. I also wonder if his productivity is a result of a much better defense overall as well.
Also, for injuries I think it'd be silly not to consider that Trae Waynes never even started. He was a big FA addition that would've (hopefully) affected the yards allowed stat.
