We’ve heard it a million times in less than a week – The Seattle Seahawks cannot get after the quarterback. They cannot apply pressure.
In a move that stunned absolutely no one, Seattle traded for 31-year-old Cincinnati defensive end Carlos Dunlap, and Dunlap brings with him exactly one-ninth of the sacks Seattle has in six games. That should tell you two things – Seattle was desperate for help, and Dunlap was not a key franchise piece for the Bengals any longer. If you doubt that, consider that the Bengals accepted a backup center and a late pick for the veteran pass rusher (who was coming off the bench in Cincy).
