Dexter McCleon did a pretty damn fine job IMO.

He's not Champ Bailey, not a shutdown corner, but how many times did you see him get roasted deep for a touchdown, Bartee/Warfield style? Warfield got beat deep for a TD by 267 year old Jerry Rice for crying out loud. McCleon is twice the corner Warfield is.

Then there were his 6 interceptions. Early in the season when we were getting turnovers we were winning. Later in the year when we didn't, we weren't.

McCleon was a great acquisition at corner and did a damn fine job. You have to give Carl and Vermeil credit for that one.
