Is anyone here familiar with Wikipedia? If so, I noticed that the "Dome Patrol" has not gotten their due. That is to say, there is not an article about them. Each member of the DP has an individual article, however, the corp as a whole does not. I would think that now would be as good a time as any to write an article about the DP, especailly considering their recent accolades. I believe I can write the article, but I need some help putting some sources together. The following facts would have to be included: 1) The years the corp was completely intact. 2) The fact that the entire squad started the Pro-Bowl (I believe that had never happen, or has since been accomplished). 3) The total number of Pro-Bowls between all members, both with the Saints and career. 4) The recent accolade of being named the #1 LB corp of all-time.

Anyone else care to add to this, or have any sources for documentation purposes?

Jackson was the blitz man on one side, Swilling especially known for it on the other and good pass coverage guy, and Sam Mills good lateral guy and of course he was famous for being "too small" and 'small school" guy to play in the NFL. Vaughan had really none or of that, or maybe ALL of that (decent height if I recall). And to top it off, from every interview id seen of him, all around good and cool guy. never met him though. any one know what he's up to these days? glad as a group they got their due.
You forgot to mention thet no one ran at Johnson. That was the last person you wanted to run at.

Tom Benson acquired the franchise in 1985, and hired Jim Finks as general manager and Jim Mora as head coach.
Rickey Jackson New Orleans Saints (1981-1993)
the rest he gets credit for.

It's great to see these guys get the respect and recognition they deserve. Excuse me, I'm having flashbacks of the mayhem and destruction caused by the Dome Patrol on sunday's. WOW!!! What a rush.

I'm just curious. Did the dome patrol even win a playoff game? Didnt think so.

Your right, Ricky Jackson was never a Panther. But he was a 49'er and he has a Superbowl ring to prove it. Did Sam Mills ever get a ring in Carolina? No, he didn't. So what exactly is your point?

That puts the Dome Patrol coming together about 1986-1987... BENSON-Mora-Finks erra and the rest of the supporting cast coming in 1986-87 season. Ricky Jackson was there before everyone else... but he wasn't doing it all on his own until Benson bought the Saints and brought in the supporting cast. Some of you may see where I am going with this...
