They need to put Burfict at MLB, move Hall to Safety replacing Miles and just have Manny Lawson in on 3rd and long. That should solve a lot of problems with people being out of place.

Come on man are you joking? Hall is the best corner the bengals have! Burfict is starting at WLB and Lawson on the strong side. If you move Burfict to MLB and Lawson as a 3rd and long guy who will the other two lb starters be? Muckelroy and Skuta?

Dunlap is good, but not good enough to make our defense do a complete 180. Maualuga needs to be replaced, we need some kind of spark at the SS position, and ultimately better discipline by our corners. Then we might not be a bottom feeder defense.

They better put Mays back in there. They were idiots to punish him for the penalty. Let the kid grow and learn. Bad coaching..

Moch who?
As a Bengals fan, I don’t think Dunlap will make a huge difference. The defense is simply bad. Moch hasn’t done anything in the NFL, he has yet to play a regular season game. I am not hanging my eggs on Moch’s basket unless he proves it on the filed. Have you look at Bengals secondary? they are terrible……….

The problem is Rey Maualuga’s inability to tackle and his constant over-reacting to play-fakes. This makes it much easier for the offense to run and pass up the middle. While Dunlap will generate more of a pass rush, the offense will adjust to this.

Also, the secondary sucks right now. Leon Hall is shaking off the rust from his achilles surgery so he’s not 100% and the Bengals still haven’t found a safety worth a damn.

No, 1 man doesn’t change the performance but 4 would…Wait until Dunlap, Moch, Pat Sims and Jason Allen all get out there at the same time. Remember Dontay Moch(4 game suspension back week 5) and his 4.3 speed as a DE/OLB this is going to cause many fits for teams. You don’t know him now but you will very soon…Moch and Dunlap in the lineup will collectively cause havoc for teams coming up on the schedule. Dunlap, Bernard Scott and Jason Allen all play this weekend and we will need them.

“Doesn’t matter if Dunlap plays or not. Too many holes in that defense for one man to fix.”

I wonder if the Ravens feel that way about not having their best pass rusher Suggs in there too?

The Ravens defense is struggling big time in contrast to previous seasons. You know they need Suggs in there.

For the Bengals Dunlap is their main pass rush guy. He’s that important.

If the bengals have one of the worst secondary’s in the league, that means the skins will try and run on them into the 4th quarter until they figure out its not working

Couldn’t have come at a better time. Especially after making Weeden look like a pro bowler, and RG3 is A LOT better
