How Good Was the 2000 Ravens Defense Really? Best NFL Defense of All Time

[@spacelion4763]

Good enough to win a SB with Trent Dilfer. That's how good

[@PeteyThePanda]

Good enough that they carried an absolutely atrocious offense to a title.

[@LongestYardProductions]

Dilfer 👎🏼🤦🏻‍♂️

[@PeteyThePanda]

@@LongestYardProductions Banks wasn’t much better. I’ll never forget the season finale vs the Jets where the Ravens were outgained by nearly 400 yards yet still won by two scores thanks to three return TDs - two by Jermaine Lewis

I was so mad the Steelers didn’t give Rod Woodson a chance to play at safety! I know it’s an unusual change at the pro level, but Rod was a different level athlete!

[@markanthony1004]

Ray Lewis was a standout amongst standouts like Palumalu, Dawkins, Spikes, Urlacher, and so so many other great hard hitting defenders when football was legit fun. The phrase gridiron football was legit back then. Madden was still an announcer like damn that's some nostalgia I really want to get back to.

[@ericchester9828]

Every time I hear people say that "Tom Brady is the greatest QB of all time because he won the most rings", I ask, "who's better Trent Dilfer or Dan Marino?" The QB is one man on the field, they need a team to win!

[@mofost1]

True dat!

[@Christo_Trismegistus]

A great quarterback elevates your team. If the Ravens would have had a better quarterback they could have won more championships

[@kevonsidek9737]

You are comparing marino to a below average qb that only won one ring with the greatest defense in history lol that’s apples to oranges, brady won 7 and that’s why he is the goat

[@cip7068]

I remember they went like half the season without scoring an offensive TD and went 5-3 . By the time the playoffs came around it was impossible to score on them !

[@NewEnglandGaming413]

A lot of people forget, but the defense who allowed the 3rd fewest PPG all time was also in 2000. It was the Titans.

I still think that the 06 defense was a more stacked and dangerous defense

[@kman215]

I disagree but Perhaps but they didn't win it all so 2000 will always be a head

[@Eli-ss9gj]

They were nice af too, I will say that 2006 had an even better pass defense and pass rush. 2000 was the superior run defense and overall defense though

[@jzon3251]

@@Eli-ss9gj 06 defense was the most balanced defense with the pass and the run, it was dangerous because it was the linebacker corps with Ray Lewis, Bart Scott and Suggs. The secondary had a PRIME Ed Reed, an elite Bart Scott and Dawan Landry. On the front the had Haloti Ngata and Kelly Gregg. This is easily one of the most talent stacked group of hitters, pass defenders and run-stoppers in NFL history.

If they had Lamar in the 00s, there would be no New England Patriots, no Tom Brady, no Peyton Manning, Eli Manning. Now if they had this defense today there'd be no Patrick Mahomes

[@BallinNQnz]

The playoff win over the Titans was due to the Titans kicker missing 3 field goals, including one blocked and returned for a touchdown. Had the Titans won, they probably wouhd have won the super bowl.

[@Watchingvideoslikeu]

Why don’t teams prioritize big nose tackles like Tony Saragusa or Vince Wilfork any more? It’s almost like teams have 4 DE’s on the line similar to the giants NASCAR package during the 2 Eli runs, but I feel like it makes it hard to consistently stuff the run game

[@Christo_Trismegistus]

Teams don't run that much anymore

[@Watchingvideoslikeu]

@@Christo_Trismegistus So serious question, having a big nose tackle provides no premium in the passing game at all? Like if I take up 2 interior blockers, wont that help my outside pass rushers? I could be wrong but just asking

[@felixjones1375]

Tony Banks, not Trent Dilfer was the Ravens QB when they didn't score a td for a month.

[@GrayShadow13]

That's right, Banks started the first 8 games of the season, then Dilfer got the nod.

[@forman208]

Bro, why did you keep showing Terrell Suggs & Ed Reed in this video lol

[@mofost1]

85 bears were a total team, hell they had Walter Payton & McMahon who was actually really good then. Imo the ravens was by far the best then the 92 era eagles was the 2nd best i ever saw & that 15 broncos was pretty nasty, hell Payton was out there throwing duck turds in prolly his absolute worst game of his life & they still won. Those 80s giants D of course. There were others , the bucs were good but not the ravens. Shoot give the ravens any of the offenses of the other teams here & they may have gone spotless. All right then….

[@osareafallire]

7:06 It doesn't bother anyone else that the editor doesn't know the difference between Tony Siragusa and Sam Adams? And they use the same INT clip when they're talking about Ray Lewis and "Ron" Woodson. This team deserves better. How do you not include Shannon Sharpe's 96yd TD vs the Raiders?

[@javierfranco7416]

I know your just reading stats and not actually talking about the game, but the rich Gannon only threw for 80 yards because of a dirty hit by Tony Siragusa that took him out of the game. The Raiders were driving and about to score when fat ass Siragusa laid that dirty hit on Gannon and then the Raiders Backup QB was simply overmatched.

Your history is inaccurate. Do your research. When they went four games without scoring a touchdown, Tony Case was the Quarterback for the majority of that drought, not Trent Dilfer. Once Trent was installed as the starter, their offense improved dramatically and the rest was history.

Tony banks...not stoney Case..lol After the SB the Ravens released Trent Dilfer before the start of the next season..
