Here is how brilliant his coaches were.  Week 3 he had 9 SOLO tackles, a QB hit, a TFL and a tipped pass.  So what happened the next week?  His playing time gets REDUCED.




Dunlap got what he wanted.  He lost $2.6 million (not 4), but it was not about money with him.  Like I pointed out before the Bengals were not taking any of his money when he was arguing with the coaches on the sidelines.  Instead they were embarrassing him by only playing him 15 snaps a game when the players in front of him were scrubs.  Plus he knew he had no chance of winning with those clowns in charge.

I find it hilarious they way so many people act like they would just bend over and take it from an incompetent boss.  Somehow they think being stupid means being "a good employee".  The fans who sit on their asse watching the games are allowed to complain all they want about how stupid the coaches are, but if a player whose reputation is on the line because of stupid coaches tries to do what is in his own best interest the fans turn on him.

In week 11 Carlos played 76% of the Seahawk's snaps (his highest for them of the year) He has 2 sacks, 3 QB hits and 4 tackles, the next week he played 54% of their snaps. The 2 games you point to where the Bengals are "stupid" Dunlap's snap count went from 82% to 75%; while Carl Lawson's went from 52% to 65%. In that Philly game you point to Carlos had 0 sacks and 1 QB hit, while Lawson had 2 sacks, 2 QB hits, 1 TFL, and 1 FF. Now what kind of idiot coaching staff would try to get Lawson on the field more?

Dunlap got what he asked for, not what he wanted; unless you think he wanted Seattle to rob him of millions and then fire him...I find some things hilarious too.
