Quote:I remember a while back, there was a discussion about the Super Bowl winning defenses of the modern era and the things they had in common.


Whether you are examining the Steelers and Cowboys of the 70s, the Bears, 49ers, Skins of the 1980s, Dallas, Denver 49ers and Packers of the 1990s, etc., they all had one thing in common: All of those defenses had playmakers on each level of the defense.

Defensive "triplets" if you will.


Think about it.


Steelers of the 70s: DL-Greene, Greenwood; LB Ham and Lambert; DB Blount, Shell

Cowboys of the 70's: DL Martin, White; LB-Henderson; DB Waters and Harris

Bears of 1980s: DL Dent, Hampton; LB Singletary, Marshall; DB Fencik

49ers of 1980s: DL Carter; LB Haley; DB Lott, Wright, Williamson

Skins of 1980s: DL Manley & Mann; LB Marshall; DB Green

Cowboys of 1990s: DL Haley & Lett; LB Smith; DB-Sanders & Woodson

Packers of 1990s: DL R. White; LB Simmons; DB Butler

Ravens of 2000: DL McCrary; LB Lewis & Boulware; DB Woodson and McAlister

Bucs of 2000s: DL Sapp and Rice; LB Brooks; DB Barber & Lynch


You get the point.


If we hit on Fowler, Ramsey and Jack, we could have our own triplets on all three levels of the defense. I like the possibilities.
