You have to describe like to like. If you're using 4 LBs, then you're basically including 1-2 edge guys.

Take, say, the Tampa Bay off-ball LBs, Derrick Brooks and Hardy Nickerson. They are better that the comparable 2 off-ball LBs from the Dome Patrol, but they don't get to include Simeon Rice to compare to Ricky Jackson.

Although the 2000 Ravens with Lewis, Sharper, and Boulware may compete on its own against the Dome Patrol.

Using a 4-man unit, I don't know anyone outside of Nola who would take the Dome Patrol over the mid-90s Steelers unit (Levon Kirkland, Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd and Chad Brown)

I can't compare a unit from antiquity (like the original Steel Curtain), so it's hard enough to compare to the Dome Patrol.

That front 7 was the most dominant I think I’ve ever seen.

You couldn’t run the ball. And it could get pressure on you out of its base formation almost at will.

The defensive backfield was another story.

I actually think that the 2009 offensive line was full of studs-

gaurds - C. Nicks/ J. Evans
tackles - J. Bushrod/ J. Stinchcomb
center - J. Goodwin
