Darius Phillips called out the defensive coaches.  Shawn Williams called out the defensive coaches. Former Bengals like Adam Jones called out the defensive coaches. Even Jesse Bates said there were communication problems with the defensive coaches.  Our defense sucked the last two years. I have no idea why so many people turned on Dunlap in favor of coaches who were doing a terrible job.

Marvin Lewsi and Mike Zimmer would havw won multiple Super Bowls if they had been given HALF of the free agent talent the Bengals have bought for Lou.

Here's why I "turned on him".  His play was selfish, lazy, and not what his coached asked him to do.  He was still being paid over $10 million per season.  I criticized his poor play, and his lack of assignment-sound football.  Something a veteran should know.  And then he acted like a child having a zoom call/ pressor where he sat there and ate potato chips.  THAT is why I turned on him.  

Oh, and it looks like we supported the right people because they got BETTER without him.  

Your statement about Lewis and Zimmer is just plain dumb.  They had been spending the same amount of cap money, but spent it on their own because they had drafted better.
