- 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 CB, but with the Ravens he became a pro-bowl safety
Yes - The defense was absolutely loaded. For someone to look at it and say it wasn't start dominated...is not reality.
They played a 3-4 too...so Adams and Siragusa's jobs were to take up space to keep lineman off of the LB's.
McCrary was a sack machine. He had 14.5 sacks one season...as a DE in a 3-4. That doesn't happen much. In 75 games with the Ravens he had 51 sacks.
