He's disciplined, therefore he also gets consistent pressures, tipped/batted balls, and is a force versus the run. His big body occupies blockers, and has allowed the Bengals to get by with basically a garbage man at the SAM position for quite some time.
It would take one hell of a man to fill Carlos Dunlap's shoes, in regard to what he brings to this defense.
i really understand your observation. Dunlap is a well.balanced DE..does most things good....but not great.
i was looking at the Bengals schedule this year and the QBs they face
Rothlisberger
Taylor
Rivers
Carr
Newton
Ryan
Brees
Luck.
its imperative the Bengals get Dunlap to be able to finish and the get the QB on the ground
playing the run is nice but the NFL is a passing league now and the DEs coveted out of college are asked to be able to get to the QB 1st play run 2nd
Carlos needs to be able take advantage of the double teams that Atkins commands
7.0.sacks wont get it done this year
