Secondly Dunlap played well the previous 3 games so once again the demise of him has been extremely exaggerated just like last season.

Sure, he's only played 36 snaps, but what has he done in those opportunities?  I tried to pay attention to him, when he was in on Sunday.  Seemed like every time I saw him, he was getting stood up at the line.  No drive, no moves, no trademark Geno swim moves, just plain stalemated by the Guard alone.  For a DT making $14M+, that is pathetic.  No stats whatsoever, not even an assist on a tackle..

Those numbers might be leading the Bengals right now, but from a "star" player like Carlos Dunlap, that is very pedestrian for about 1/3 of a season.  He's still a very talented player, he still makes the plays that come to him;  But there is no denying that he's definitely lost a step, and his overall fire burns a few degrees cooler than it did even as recent as last season.  I expect more from a DE making $11M+
