Bengal defense got worse when Dunlap left in 2020.

Yes, everyone was in a better mood in 2021 when we had enough healthy talent to win some games.  And, of course, it helped that we got rid of Zac's boys Bobby Hart and Jim Turner.

The Bengals defense might have statistically gotten worse when Dunlap left, but there are lots of rational explanations for that.  Strength of opponents down the stretch, injuries, etc.  What I was saying dealt with the fact that the defense seemed to lose the "noise" that was labeled as accusations from that reporter when those guys left.  

I don't care if you have all the talent in the world (and Dunlap was far from that...) if you openly criticize the coaches, become a huge distraction, and ignore any personal accountability.  He was a cancer in the end and I am glad he is gone.
