His numbers the second half of the season were much better, but that was because they were among the best in the league. Among DEs he was #1 in tackles, sacks, and tipped passes, #2 in QB hits (only 1 behind Joey Bosa), and #4 in Tackles for Loss.
EVERY player in the league pads his stats against weaker teams, but Dunlap was getting PDs, TFL, QB hits, and lots of tackles in almost every game.
I have no idea how PFf works I just use my eyes. If Dunlap dosen’t set the edge in the run does that count negatively ? When your supposed to keep Baker Mayfield in the pocket and Dunlap comes screaming upfield letting Baker roll out and throw is that counted as a pressure ? When you finally get into the back field after the QB had all day to throw is that consider a pressure ? We’re paying Dunlap to be DE 1 and our best pass rusher. When you need to get to the QB in a big game versus a good team during a big 3rd down will he make the play ? We do this every year the defense has been awful the last 3 years and every time we criticize players PFF says there good. Geno is a stud , Dunlap stud , Vigil isn’t bad , this guy Bynes was supposedly a PFF stud last year , Bates is a stud , Williams Jackson has good PFF grades , Kirkpatrick is rated high on PFF and so on. Makes it seem like we have an all star defense and we’re awful every year.
