I agree with your accessment of Faggins. I can't believe he made the team in his third year. The first year I chalked up his coverage skills to being a rookie. The second year I just said to myself that we didn't have anyone in camp for third down and he was the extra body. We're still here with this guy and I'm certain that when we finally cut him he will begin bouncing from one team after another until he's out. But yesterday's highlihght reel of him covering Johnson was showing just how poor our D coordinator is doing his job. It was perfect for us as fans. No safety behind Faggins showed that either Smith isn't properly preparing his defense (which would account for most of the high points this year against us) or he actually felt that Faggins could cover Johnson...which makes him an idiot. Either way, we win because he exposed himself...and in a good way.

I agree. It is more than a talent issue. It is either scheme or preparation/coaching, and both fall first on Kubiak and then on Richard Smith. About being exposed, hopefully Kubiak sees that and cuts him loose before Smith gets him fired.
As for the excitement about Dunta, I would hold off. He looked very bad (understandably) in yesterday's game. I honestly don't see him being a big factor for us in the next few games. Hopefully I am wrong and Sunday was just rust, but I am not expecting last year's Dunta any time soon.

How was his speed? I could be wrong but I anticipate he will bever be as fast as was pre-major injury.
Modern medicine is falls just short of amazing so I hope I'm wrong.

I never really saw him run straight line.
On one blitz he saw a blocker slide out and just pulled up on his pass rush before ever making contact. Instead just standing in front of the right tackle. On the only tackles I saw him in for, he either missed completely or completely failed to wrap up. Contact gave him problems all around. He was also beaten on the 3 and 19 conversion and a few others. I don't think he should have been out there in the 4th quarter. I am a big fan of Dunta's. He is my favorite Texan. But I think he's a long way from giving us any kind of help.

Sounds like he's a little hesitant. You can only imagine his level of anxieties coming back from such an injury.
Hopefully, the D coordinator recognizes the need for a safety to be behind him in coverage. I don't have in confidence that Smith will make that recognition.

I agree that dunta was not dunta yesterday. but it still falls on the D. Coord. It is his job to identify the peices that he has and to put them in the right places. But he just gets more and more exposed every game. If they had even a decent qb yesterday we would have probably lost that on yesterday too. Leaving faggins one on one with CJ was just plain dumb. This guy is 6'5, 4.3 speed, and 40" vertical the makings of a superstar. I dont care if Furrey (or whatever his name was) had to beat us all day yesterday. CJ would not have ever been one on one yesterday.

Spencer Tillman did a breakdown of the play Williams smoked Faggins. Faggins bit on what he thought was a run play and the safety came up to cover someone coming out(either the TE or RB, can't remember). Williams just took off and was left uncovered. Faggins would have been beaten even if he didn't move on what he thought was a run play.
