ya, 2011 of course.
I was talking about the confidence, that D stepped on the field and knew that nobody was going to get the best of them. Dre was a big part of that. The guys you mentioned, brought out the strength up front. But when Dre got burned on that first play against UF (if my memory is correct) and then came right back out there and we shut them down. I like seeing that in a corner.

Maybe. He didn't strike me as a leader, tho, but I wasn't in the locker room or on the sideline.
He wasn't a particularly good tackler, I don't know what his INT totals were (don't remember many).
I'm comparing him to guys like George Teague and Antonio Langham.
Hell even guys who weren't "up to spec/eye test" like Javy Arenas. Go through your memory and tell me you don't remember more Javy highlights--and it'm not talking about punt/kickoff returns.
He started for a reason. He didn't suck. But I think he gets elevated to an undeserved level--most of that coming from his 5 star pedigree and he really, really "looked the part." In a way that Julio Jones "looked the part." But I remember so many more "bad motherfricker" moments from Julio.
Again, different positions. And just IMO.
