I think high IQ is probably more important than the normal measurables at CB.  That might apply to most of the D, hence the struggles of Allen and Hargrave.  Van Ginkel is a poster child for this D.

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Was it 6 consecutive games without giving up a passing TD at some point ? There’s a reason BFlo is the highest paid DC by a considerable margin.

Something like that. Whatever it was, it hadn't been done in 37 years. With nary a Pro Bowler on defense too. Makes you wonder what Flores could do if you actually gave him an elite player or two in that secondary. But like Greed said, what Flo considers elite likely has more to do with football IQ than H/W/S.
