i mean chicago has 1 great LB Urlacher but the Ravens have 3 top 10 LBs

they shouldve been there instead of Denver

I didn't see that chicago team on there, just one with Butkus then the 85 squad

1. Mora's 90s Saints

2. 70s Steelers

3. Parcell's Giants

4. Hank Stram's Chiefs

5. Ditka's Bears

6. Lombardi's Packers

7. Mid-90s Steelers

8. Early-80s Raiders

9. Orange Crush Broncos

10. 2000 Ravens.

They dissed the Ravens corps based on the fact that the Siragusa and Adams were so good, which also hurt the Bears. Still, to have those mid-90s Steelers over the 2000 Ravens just doesn't seem right. Boulware gave an amazing performance as a pass rusher, Sharper made a lot of plays, and Lewis gave probably the best performance ever by a linebacker not named 'Lawrence Taylor' in the history of the league that year.

And yeah, I think down the road, the 2006 Ravens will get more props in this sort of thing. They just wanted to shy away from active teams.

I didn't hear the diss and didn't think they would do that considerind they had the 70's steelers and gave props to Joe Greene and Elcee greenwood.

All in all I really didn't have too much issue with their list as there were alot of great LBs on display plus I was a big fan of that Saints group.

i know i was just throwing that out there how ours is the best now even though urlacher may be better than ray

we were pretty much dissed having the 90s steelers and the orange crush broncos over us

[Raven07]

yea the 2000 ravens should have been within the top 5 somewhere....if you recall from watching it when they weregoing over the 2000 ravens, they said This is a team that should have been within the top 5...lol we got jipped again fellas!

the ravens got seriously gyped... back in 2000 we had 3 of the best. last years linebackers were the best the ravens ever had.

i dont know how the 90's saints are number 1. yea there numbers were good, so were there players but they never won a playoff game. isnt that the real measure of sucsess

Yeah, really the 2000 Ravens LBs were like the 85 Bears in that respect. Singletary, Wilson and Marshall were great, but so were a lot of guys on that defense, and their D-line was the stuff of legends. The 2000 Ravens should have been 4 or 5.

They were all dominating players, but they were the only decent players on the Saints at the time. We still acknowledge the greatness of Barry Sanders, even though the Lions never went anywhere (although they were better then they have been since Sanders retired).

Ditto. like they said on there the Saints were the only team to send all 4 of it's LBs to the Pro Bowl in the same year. The fact that they really didn't have alot of help from their DL and they still produced means alot.

Ray was an alternate and when he chose not to go Bart Scott became the alternate so. Techincally we didn't send all 4 LBs to the pro bowl.

<bleep> if youve won a playoff game...their LBs

by that knowlegde the saints LBs who are probably the worst in the league are better than the 90s saints

their LBs first of all....and teams win playoff games not players
