DUNTA- 6, 1, 2, 2
A.Cromartie- X, X, 0, 10 in his first real year
C. Bailey- 3, 8, 10, 3
A. Sameul 1, 3, 10, 6
E. Reed- 9, 1, 5, 7
D. Bly- 4, 6, 3, 5
R. Williams- 2, 3, 5, 2
C. Woodson- 1, 1, 8, 4
B. Dawkins- 4, 3, 4, 1

Those numbers do sort of support that Dunta isn't thrown on much. Look at the first year. That was when Glenn was our premo CB and they threw at Dunta a lot and he picked them off. Looks like they backed off once the saw what he could do and the had easier pickings with Faggens and Mr. Ole. The way we have been playing defense, where they are responsible for a side of the field probably means he isn't able to make those plays where a CB sort of freelances and goes to the other side during the play and winds up getting a pick. Some of those guys on the list kind of play like they a free safeties.
