The Baltimore D had Tony Siragusa and Sam Adams up front... their entire job was to occupy space and clog up the middle so that Ray Lewis would be free to make plays.

I don't see how the Ravens were a better playoff defense... the '85 Bears threw two shutouts and gave up 10 points in the superbowl.... that's 10 points for the entire playoffs. The Ravens gave up 10 in their second round game alone.
Anyway, as per the original post, I'd go:
1. Butkus
2. Singletary
3. Jack Lambert
4. Ray Lewis
