With that being said  Zac has done a tremendous job building his culture and Duke deserves a ton of credit for hitting on draft picks and Free agent signings.

As for Dunlap both sides handled that situation poorly. Dunlap shouldn't have been benched for lesser player but at the same time he handled the situation like an ass.

Dunlap was taking a backseat to Sam Hubbard and Carl Lawson two players that needed evaluated especially when they were losing. Carl Lawson was coming up on a possible contract extension who had never really played all 3 downs. It was important to get him in there to see what they had going forward. We seen the exact same thing with Finley over Dalton for a couple game stretch Dalton took it like a professional. Dunlap didn't handle the situation well and went to social media to complain so when Sam Hubbard was hurt the team didn't move him back into the starting lineup the next week. Eventually Dunlap social media tirade caused the team to force a trade. 

It is what it is with the Carlos Dunlap situation he was tired of losing and didnt want to give the young guys behind him reps they needed for a team that was rebuilding. He went to what he thought was a contender with virtually zero compensation for the Bengals so he got what he wanted in the end.
