only once in his career has he posted more than 9 sacks. he had 13.5 a couple years back.
take away that season he has only averaged 7.0 sacks
per season.
why is it that Dunlap cannot put up double digit sack numbers consistantly?
even when the Bengals defense was ranked high under Zimmer Dunlap wasnt exactly putting the qb on the ground consistantly.
does it tie into not having enough 4th q. leads where the opposing offense is forced to throw?
is a technique issue?
i figure with Atkins drawing a double team wouldnt that single up.Dunlap on the RT without help from the TE?
I dont know can i get some insight?
hes a very good DE who i feel can produce alot more sack wise..
hes great at tipped passes deflections as hes among the top 5 among DEs in that regard.
can a few of you help a fellow fan out
i plead ignorance.

Some will disagree, but I think the fact that he plays on the left side and he is not coming at the blind side of most QBs is a part of it.  The rest is scheme as he has greatly improved as a run stuffer.  Many DEs that only care about sacks blow right by their rush lane responsibility in an effort to get the QB and often give up easy yards on the ground.  Carlos has been strongly coached to defend the run as well.
