5) Baltimore Ravens - Courtney Upshaw, Terrell Suggs, Dannell Ellerbe, Ray Lewis



FYI Jameel McClain is a regular starter and Upshaw isn't. Paul Kruger starts over him.

And I'd extend it to 10 with Chicago, Dallas, and Seahawks. All have top 10 defenses and at least 2 LBs each that are on PFF's most efficient tackler list.

I'd have to pick the 49ers...

I wasn't sure about McClain and Ellerbe in the middle. I knew Ray Lewis got hurt, and I was guessing at which started the position inside with him. With UpShaw, I just looked here and went by this. I was surprised he has so little sacks this year.

Totally forgot about the Bears, but they have a legit set of linebackers. Everyone knows their name. I know Wagner has played well for Seattle. I remember him playing against Auburn with Utah State. Don;t know too much about any others. I know KJ Wright played at State. Cowboys are another good one. DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, Bruce Carter, and Ernie Sims is a good set. They're even missing Sean Lee and I think he was the leader of the defense if I am not mistaken.
