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

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.
