It is just like trying Finley instead of Dalton.  It was a stupid move and it failed.

Carl Lawson and Sam Hubbard were young players that needed more snaps to see what the team had over a veteran that wasn't playing well early and tended to freelance outside of the defense. The reason Dunlap didn't regain his role after Hubbard was hurt the very next game is because he decided to post the defensive end rotation on instagram. Dunlap should have been fined for that.

As for Finley you had a bad team mid way through the season with a QB on the way out. The Bengals coaches were just seeing what they had in the backup.
