Also worth noting that in 2021 when both Ogunjobi and Hill looked so good for the Bengals, they were both coming off of rotational roles with their previous teams, and continuing to split time in rotation with the Bengals.  Now that each of them is the "bona fide" starter and playing the majority of the snaps, each of their respective production numbers and coordinating rates of success are lower.  Why?  Again, because of that fatigue factor.  

Exactly

And being down three scores in the 3rd qtr. changes how the opposing offense is calling their plays. I believe both Cleveland and Tennessee were approaching 200 yards rushing. The opposing QB is not dropping back throwing slow developing route passes. They're running it and dinking and dunking burning clock.

It's hard to get any pass rush win rates when you're getting curb stomped.
