People will breeze over this because they are tired or hearing about Geno and Carlos, excuse me, Employee96.
However, this is dead on.
These are two premium players, the best we have had on defense over the last decade, that we have gotten absolutely zero production from. I love them both for their past contributions, but they have been a major disappointment this season.
If Dunlap was playing like he was the last 8 games of the season last year, and Geno wasn't injured and started the season healthy and played like he did last year, this team would be 5-2. Yes, I am putting that much on their "disappearance". Think how things would have been for Reader, Hubbard, and Lawson if these two were playing up to their potential.
I don't care what you say about the coaches and playcalling....these two have killed this season.
