"You gonna replace a 7 time pro bowler" ? Umm news flash - we can't keep them around until they're 40 because they "used to" be a pro bowler.
But no one knew that during the offseason. Geno was coming off a Pro Bowl season. Not up to his previous level of play, but not easy to replace at all.
The second half of last year after Dunlap got healthy he played as well as any DE in the league.
Go back and look at the preseason predictions. Almost everyone here said our D-line would be one of our strengths and a lot of that was because of Dunlap and Atkins.
