Big Los has ALWAYS been a gamer. How many times have you seen 96 trail a play and make a tackle way downfield when his teammates got torched? A lot. For a guy that had questions about effort coming into the league, I can't recall ever seeing that issue.

I don’t remember anything about his effort, but I know he had an off the field issue in college. Wasn’t it a DUI?

Seems we've taught each something today ol buddy. I didn't know anything about any character issues/DUI.

From NFL.com scouting report:

Quote:Dunlap appears to be a highly regarded 4-3 right defensive end but there will be concerns over his character and consistent effort in the 2010 draft.

Dunlap is beasting, but has anyone noticed how profound Atkins' regression has been?

He is a 100% a first ballot Hall of famer.

I think that IF he were a Steeler or Patriot he would be.

I think that outside of Cincy, not many people know how great he is. And he's an even better person than player.

It's a big reason why he was there when we picked him.

Interesting, I follow mock drafts. Michael Johnson was before his last season in college on some mocks as the 1st overall pick in the draft.

Carlos Dunlap now has a commanding lead as the Bengals top defensive player per PFF. His current grade of 86.7 is the second highest of his career.

What an incredibly consistent player over the course of his career. Winning or losing, Dunlap will show up.

Great to hear, dude is playing worth his contract now for sure.

Dunlap and Mixon have both been tearing it up recently.

People know it's not the 70s anymore.

Then why did big Whit never get as much recognition here as he should have? It’s harder to ignore WR’s like Chad and AJ, but some of our other good/great players don’t get a lot of attention. Hell, just look at Mixon getting snubbed for the Pro Bowl in a season he led the damn conference in rushing...

The Bengals are the Siberia of the NFL.

This franchise has been around for 51 years and has 1 HOFer. 1! That's all you need to know on Geno.

And while Geno has good stats...they don't jump out at you as obvious HOF material.

And AJ has been injured too much to make the HOF.

Chad could make the HOF.

Nah

11k yds 67 TD and no rings...

Whit is going to the HOF as well. Plus he got plenty of recognition from PFF. Geno also gets plenty of recognition as well from PFF.

Yes his numbers do jump out dudes going to be on the All decade team easily. 2nd best 3T this decade.

There is absolutely no way multiple Bengals are going into the HoF...

We currently have ONE in Canton. And that’s only because he’s the GOAT at his position. Neither Whit nor Geno were ever the best at their position during their own playing careers, let alone all time.

Well, then this happened.

Wasn't Dalton like a 5th or 6th alternate one year and made it because a bunch of QB's didn't go?

Brandon Wilson should have made it as a returner.

PFF showing some love.

Quote:Carlos Dunlap had a career year, and nobody noticed because he played on the Bengals
Aided by playing Cleveland’s disastrous offensive line, Dunlap had his second three-sack performance of the season in the second win the team managed all year. Dunlap will finish the season with the highest grade he has managed since at least 2012, and depending on how the grades are finalized on All-22 review, may have posted the best year of his entire career. His run defense was phenomenal this season, and he has had excellent games of pass rushing, but the second half of the year was one of the best-graded of any edge rusher in the league, he just did it almost completely without notice because the Bengals weren’t winning.
