Ray Lewis is a top 10 player ever.He was a game changer.Also the big DTackles in Sam Adams and Siragusa were great.Both like 340-350lbs eated other Olines.Running it inside was very hard.Running it outside when chased by Boulware,Sharper,Ray,Burnett and McCrary was even harder cause they could establish position really fast and fly around.Maybe the best defense ever and certainly the best run defense of all time.Blocks were being shed like Pandas shed bamboo trees.It was insane.Even when teams threw it the pocket didnt last much.That team was about that life.Secondary great too led by Rod Woodson and Chris McAlister.Special teams great too.Still that team holds records that its hard to ever be broken and some probably wont

Yeah, something like that probably won't happen again. It's largely running back by committee nowadays and passing numbers have been going up. In 2000, nine qbs finished the season with more than 3500 passing yards. In 2020 there's already four qbs with 4,000 or more yards, at least eight more who probably will hit 4000, and possibly another five more who will go over 3500.

[@Terror832]

There’s already 13 quarterbacks who have accumulated 3,500 passing yards this season. Another 3 of them should certainly get it like Big Ben, Tannehill and Bridgewater. Also Mayfield and if healthy Derek Carr have a chance at it. So we could potentially look at 18 quarterbacks with 3,500 passing yards. And that’s even with guys like Wentz, Prescott, Brees and Burrow missing time despite being on pace for it.

I’m so thankful to have seen those men leave it all on the field. I can’t count how many of those guys inspired my friends, family, and myself to get out there and play smash mouth ball but that’s how it is in the South. I’m happy my Titans and King Henry are bringing back a dominant rushing attack in this crazy pass happy league, shoutout to the Browns rushing attack too and the league in general are making a rushing comeback.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

@@benhatfield8831 Rice, Irvin, T.O. and Moss are 4 of the top 5 receivers of all time were all in the league and still prime. If I had to pick a year I would say 1998, because that was TO's first year hitting his prime, Randy Moss' first year to where he had 1300 yards and 17 tds, Jerry Rice still put up great stats over 1000 years 9 tds despite sharing time with TO who was putting 1150 yards and 14 tds. 98 was Michael Irvin's last year before getting the career ending neck injury early on in 1999. 98 you can even add, Keyshawn Johnson, Tim Brown, Cris Carter Rod Smith, Eric Moulds hitting his first prime year with 1368 and 9 tds. And I could say Marvin Harrison but he only played 12 games that year, so he only got a little less than 800 yards, and it was the year before his stats really took off. That's 7 hall of famers and potentially 8 because Rod Smith is one of the nominated for this coming year. But that 2015 is still a great one though because there is about 5 that will probably be in the hall of fame. Its just not as great as that 98 year when you include that year plus entire careers. And the fact that 98 was not a passing league with extremely easy rules like 2015 makes it that much more impressive

He racked up 580 yards and ELEVEN touchdowns over the final three games of 2000, his MVP season.

Then, his performance in the Super Bowl along with Leon Lett’s tremendous play of causing the fumble that changed the momentum of that game. From rushing for yards, especially in short yardage in the red zone, always finding that first down, catching those dump passes, picking up blitzing linebackers, and playing great with a separated shoulder, it is a no brainer.

The league was never more overloaded with great runningbacks than it was in this period. What made it so great was that there was some kind of balance to this.

The greatest rushing season in history ironically had a SB champion better known for run defense

[@skyefox]

It makes sense, you stop the run you win against 26 teams.

[@expletivedeleted6424]

IMHO O.J. Simpson had the best rushing season in NFL history averaging over 147 ypg.

[@TDH24Live]

They don't like to talk about him nowadays

[@michealharrison2977]

This makes even more sense considering 2000 was during a generational transition in QBs. HOFs like Aikman, Marino, Young we’re retiring teams like the bills, broncos who were a few years removed from losing their all time qbs were transitioning future HOFs like Manning and Brady and Warner were beginning to emerge and the middle class of QBs were very poor which led to many offenses having to rely on the running game

I Could Only Imagine Fantasy Football in The 2000 NFL Season Electric Freaking Awesome

2000s nfl had a vibe

[@DV1287]

The 90s were the best generation of running backs, and so weres the 2000s, but no one in my opinion other than barry and emmitt can top the og jim brown Also can you cover the 2011 season, aka year of the qb? We had like 4 or 5 guys throw pass or close to 5000 yards

[@Terror832]

6 quarterbacks finished with 4,600 passing yards or more Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Stafford, Eli Manning and Rivers

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

Its crazy that it happened the only year Peyton Manning missed an entire year during his career. They were all talking like his reign as top qb was over, not even top 10 anymore. And he comes back and wins qb of the year twice, an mvp and the greatest season in NFL history for a qb. So he at least made up for missing that year.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

2018 was pretty crazy also. 5 guys alot 4600-5100. But what was crazy was 8 qbs had 31-50 passing tds that season. But I think this season broke it, I think like 9 or 10 guys got 31 or more tds. Defense is trash now, way to easy to play qb now.

[@raymondsmith2040]

Can yall do a video about the crazy passing season that was 2011? There were 3 qbs that passed for over 5000 yards that year.
