While the Eagles 2024 Philadelphia claim as the best NFL team last season, Shannon Sharpe does not believe they had defeated one of their former teams, the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, who captured the first franchise title behind a historically defense historically dominant.
Sharpe, in response to the recent CBS Sports list Classification of all Super Bowl champions since 2000He believes that the defense of historically elite of the 2000 Ravens would have dominated the first 13 teams in that list.
“I guarantee you, if they let us play with the rules for which they played, not one of those offenses Raven in that defense of Raven,” Sharpe said recently in his podcast. “They will not get more than 14 points.”
Sharpe said that Baltimore’s defense would be successful that the Eagles corridor, Saquon Barkley, contains that this year became the third champion by land to win the Super Bowl. Barkley ran for only 57 yards in the Super Bowl of the Eagles in the Chiefs, but did caught six passes for 40 yards in that game that included a 22-yard capture that helped Philadelphia to extend its advantage to 27-0 at the end of the Third third in third place in third place in third place in third place. room.
“I would have 37 against the defense (of the crows),” said Sharpe. “You are not running, because you have Sam (Adams) and Goose (Tony Siragusa) and Ray (Lewis) running free. Ray is hunting.”
Sharpe then referred to the opportunistic and forceful high school of Baltimore that included the defensive future of the Hall of Fame, Rod Woodson. Sharpe touched on the fact that the defense of the 2000 Ravens gave only 165 points during the regular season, with 36 of those points given in the victory of the team in week 2 over the Jaguars. Baltimore’s defense allowed only 16 points in four playoff games that culminated in its 34-7 victory over the giants in the Super Bowl XXXV.
It cannot be denied that the defense of the Ravens of 2000 was a dominant and historical group that is among the best of all time. That group would surely have hindered the life of the Eagles 2024 or any of the recent Super Bowl champions. Baltimore also had a dynamic special teams that he presented to the returnee Jermaine Lewis and Matt Stover, who were possibly at the top of their respective trades that year.
The 2000 Ravens offensive, however, is the reason why the team reached number 24 on our Super Bowl champions list since the change of the century.
Baltimore’s offensive presented Sharpe, a future member of the Hall of Fame and one of the best closed wings of all time. It also included the future 2,000 yards corridor Jamal Lewis, the sprinkler Qadry Ismail and the offensive liner of the Hall of Fame Jonathan Ogden. But the offensive (which spent five weeks during the regular season without scoring a touchdown) did not have much more and were especially in the field marshal position.
While it was 11-1 as head of Baltimore that season, Trent Dilfer had 12 touchdowns against 11 interceptions during the regular season. Then he completed less than 48% of his passes in the playoffs. In its last three postseason games of 2000, Dilfer registered completion percentages of 31.3%, 50%and 48%.
It should be noted that Dilfer launched only one interception in the playoffs (compared to his three TouchDown passes), and his 38 -yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley helped Baltimore’s burst about the giants in the Super Bowl. Dilfer was good enough at that time to help the Ravens win the Super Bowl. But when comparing the 2000 Ravens with other Recent Super Bowl champions, it is difficult to ignore Dilfer and its lack of success that year from a statistical point of view.
Could the 2000 Ravens defeat at 2024 Eagles? It is certainly possible, especially if the game was officiated in the way it was at that time. But the lack of the Ravens of a constant passes game would be a clear disadvantage against the defense of the 2024 Eagles that eliminated Patrick Mahomes twice in the Super Bowl in addition to six captures and a forced fumble ball of the two times MVP of the league .
With regard to Barkley, it is safe to assume that he would not mind how many yards obtained against the Ravens, as long as that game was developed similarly to the Super Bowl Lix. One would think that it could possibly develop in a similar way, given the talent of the Eagles in Defense and that the offensive deficiencies of the Ravens team.
