Top 10 LB Corps of all time.....
 

On NFL Network right now.

Curious to see where Lanier, Bell and Lynch fall in their ranking.

2000 Ravens are #10.

Wow... 2000 Ravens are #10?

Either a tough list or these guys are the usual Bears/Steelers homers that kick in when you talk historic defensive football.

9 was the pre-Elway SB Donkeys and 8 was the early 80s Raiders.

The best defense never mentioned is the Falcons. 1997.

#7 was the mid 90s Steelers.
#6 was the 85 Bears.
#5 was the Lombardi Packers.

And the Hank Stram Chiefs were #4.

#3 was Parcells Giants.
#2 was the 70s Steelers.

Mora's Saints are #1.


Huh?

I think I messed up the year but they hold the record for fewest points allowed in a NFL season. It was only 14 games but the PPG was less than 10. IIRC.

(I am searching to cover my buttttttttttt)

They were a great corps but not the #1 group.

I would put them in the top 5.

Was a pretty good list up until #1. I don't know who deserves #1 for certain but I'm thinking it's not the Saints.

I'm thinking those 70 Steelers.

All 3 are deserving members of the HoF.

Consider all those Saints LB that are HOFers.

The Saints LB corp of the 80's had four all pros on it. I always thought it was the best ever.

As someone who was young and not following football then and have never thought of looking up the Saint's history, could some of you old guys tell me who these great Saint LBers were?

Pat Swilling, Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Vaughn Johnson.
