My theory is Zac and Lou are trying to eradicate all vestiges of the Marvin Lewis era one position at a time.  Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap were once key players of the Z-Fense under Mike Zimmer but this was many seasons ago.  Neither Geno nor Carlos are young men anymore.  Geno can't get to quarterbacks and Carlos bats down a pass in maybe every third game now and I sort of see Zac and Lou's point:  The orange isn't worth the squeeze.   It's time to move on but the other defensive linemen on the Bengals' roster are awful.
