3-4 defense = Dome Patrol 2.0?? (1 Viewer)

[treeduck]

Who are the most likely candidates to provide the Saints with a new Dome Patrol?

Wilson? Lofton? Junior? Broughton? Hawthorne? Mingo? Dion Jordan? Jarvis Jones? Moore? Akafor? Lemonier? Ogletree? Minter? Chase Thomas?

Sounds outlandishly optimistic? Well we can dream can't we?

If our new defense will be half as good as the Dome Patrol we will be in the Super Bowl next year.

Only 1 Dome Patrol EVER.... once in a lifetime we will never have a 2.0. Not saying we won't have a great defense again but that Defense was SPECIAL.

I think it is really unfair and unrealistic to even consider a comparison with an unproven bunch and the Dome Patrol.

Sadly, I wasn't around during the dome patrol era, but I found some highlights on youtube! Amazing stuff!

I can only wish. I LOVED the Dome Patrol. Those men hit and they hit hard; Goodell would have suspended everyone from GM to concession stand workers.

Whenever I saw Vaughn Johnson without his helmet I always thought 'dude even has muscles in his scalp'.

That guy '53' hit more violently than anybody else I had ever watched.

49ers great Roger Craig says that the Dome Patrol linebackers were the best in the NFL

What I noticed, was the amount of clean hits. Not a bounty reference, just noting that even for todays rules, they tackled/sacked clean. No helmet to helmet.

Roger Craig quote about Vaughn Johnson :
Man I don't know who that dude is...but don't let him hit me anymore today!!!
