I’m just going to fill in what you missed about that 2000 defense.
- 2 elite pass rushers, McCrary and Boulware
- 2 elite run stopping DT’s, Siragusa and the guy that was actually better than him, Sam Adams
- Lewis, Boulware and Sharper were all pro-bowl caliber linebackers
- Shutdown corner in Chris McCallister
- Woodson was a run down old CB, but with the Ravens he became a pro-bowl safety
So, picture a defense that has a future “hofer” and all time record holder for turnovers, roaming center field. A shutdown corner taking away your top WR or half the field. All three starting linebackers are pro bowlers and a one is a future “hofer”. Three guys (McCrary, Burnett and Boulware) capable of double digit sacks. Lastly, you have two guys weighing 400lbs each, that take four to six men to move. Wouldn’t you kill for a Bengals defense like that, right about now?
