I'll 2nd that

Every CB gets burned on occasion I don't care who you name, the top 10 of all time. They're facing some pretty good athletes ya know.

Dre will look like an all world CB for two or three series, pass defended and all over a receiver. Then the next couple series he looks like a rookie in his first games. Whether he takes plays off, guesses wrong and commits to far, is in the wrong coverage or others are I dunno ?

Then you throw in the penalties and he starts hurting the team more than he should.

He's not as bad as some say but at times, sometimes many of them, his results are bad a bit more than they should be.
