Like you just said...he's a paid mouthpiece. Meaning he says what the organization is thinking.
Like Marv said: "Gresh is a man of many, many, many, many moods" (actual quote). Everything I read suggested Gresh wasn't a particularly liked guy in that building.
And if Lap thought Gresh was sandbagging it, I'm sure someone in the building said Gresh was sandbagging it. I doubt he made it up out of thin air.
I dunno... Gresham drove me crazy at times, but it was because of things like trying for and extra yard and losing the ball... Things of that nature. I personally never got the impression that effort was an issue with him. He definitely seemed boneheaded at times, but that's 50% of every player that ever suited up for the Bengals. Wes pointed out Lapham's silence on AJ Green doing drills before games. Hell... He talked about how amazing he looked. We all know now that there was nothing amazing about AJ Green from 2019 - 2020.
I didn't hear the podcast that PDub was referencing, but I can't get behind Lapham or anybody else being revisionist with the way things ended for Dunlap. To say he only cared about sacks is like saying Chad only cared about TDs and celebrating. Dunlap ran guys down from behind, stripped the ball, tipped the ball, made game saving plays, scored TDs, recorded interceptions, blocked kicks, brought energy, tried to involve the crowd, and he certainly wasn't bad against the run.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
