some of those cats ARE free safeties edo.

also, i have stated just as clearly as you have that i hold the same belief of dunta not being thrown at as much whenever he was the stronger of the two corners. however, the list i threw together in about five minutes are of guys who are no secret to me or the wide world of football. they were all still able to produce numbers reflecting their "playmaker" titles, so why hasn't dunta? ::ack this is killing me:: it's not like they only threw his way twice and he picked both of them, hell if i remember right one of his picks this year was off a tipped ball. anybody can pick a tip, very little cornerback-specific talents get involved in that. "playmaker" as i use it is more for the special athlete/gaudy number types. sportscenter highlight frequenters. this isn't what dunta is or really has ever been....

what he is: a smothering cover corner with some "ball skills", as ferocious as a tackler from the corner can be, lightning quick, all heart-terrific emotional leader, and hell on wheels blitzing. too bad he doesn't do much of that these days...

he does have some competent fellow defensive backfielders to protect him this go around though. maybe we will see more of the "playmaker" dunta like from his rookie season and less of the "people have to make an argument to prove he is a playmaker rather than just him being a playmaker and everyone knowing it" dunta.
