If that's your basis for him not doing well in covering you seem to be wrong. There a reason Evan's turned and looked at Dre after the touchdown and not over at Fej. Either way, you have no idea what the actual coverage was or who's responsibility it was to be covering that section so blaming Fej like you are as fact just seems silly.
Also, how long did William's have to sit behind someone before he became the starter? It's the exact same situation.
No, not really. Pre snap you can see they are in man coverage across the board. Both safeties go into a back pedal, these two things combine tell you it man with a cover 2 shell. Fej should have been taking depth so he could play where needed, but he declared to early on the inside seam leaving Evans on an island. Ebron ran a wheel route that was part of a smash fade concept Fej most likely thought ebron was going shallow to the sideline as part of a curl flat combo so he committed to the seam up the field. What really should have happened is he takes depth between the seam and the wheel route and has equal ability to drive on either route. If you look on the other side Bates the outside man runs a hitch so bates comes down on the inside to bracket the slant.
I'm not saying he shouldn't get some reps but people declaring him the starter are comical.
