the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

if the saints draft kieth rivers at #10 that would solidfy our linebacking corp. slb scott fugita mld j. vilma wlb kieth rivers how does that sound....... plus we would have a solid front seven with the addition of mcCray. it would help sheild our average at best secondary....

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

Those guys are decent, but a long ways away from Dome Patrol status.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

I agree they NEED to draft Rivers. come on FO dont screw this one up.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

ok dome patrol is a stretch but i think they would be in the top ten of the nfl.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

there is no guarentee that he will be available at 10...

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

No there is not but Conners is an option. There are some nice choices in the second and third rounds to boot. So I am not that worried. besides there are going to be a few cap cuts added to the list of options before the season starts. On paper we should be better off in 2008 than 2007.
Now for the dome patrol thing......time will tell

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

We will always have fond memories of the Dome Patrol, but can we just leave it in the past? There is only one Dome Patrol and that is the way it should stay.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

At least one more OLB, probably two unless the back-ups we have now show something (mitchell, evans, mccoy). Remember the dome patrol was voted the best LB's in NFL history, and we had four of them!

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

I don't care how good our LB's get - they won't be anywhere near the level of the Dome Patrol. Period. There's no way. Not even close.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

If we picked Connor at 10, I'd be pissed. He's not a top ten talent. But I do think that Rivers will be available at 10. I can't think of any of the teams drafting in front of us that would draft a linebacker.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

I don't buy Dome Patrol revisited. I know we are going off assumptions right now but thats a big if we get Rivers and I still don't think it will result in Dome Patrol is back.

Our front 7 maybe decent and run stopping but the Dome patrol was more known for its pass rushing. Which we are a far cry from. Even with Rivers I don't think we would come close too.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

Not to mention we're a 4-3 now.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

rivers has never played a down in pro football, vilma has never played a down with this squad, plus hes coming off a questionable injury, and fujita is a good, but at the same time very average LB..second coming of the dome patrol??? THE DOME PATROL?? youve got to be kidding me, these guys arent even close to being in that league.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

That sounded like Jim Mora. dome patrol??? THE DOME PATROL??

lol

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

Every time I even hear of someone think about comparing any of our LB's to the D.P., it makes me want to overdose on a lethal mix of prescription meds. It's like the NBA...."this guy is the next Jordan!"....I call BS!!! There will never, EVER be another Jordan just like there will never, EVER be another Dome Patrol. If someone gets this started, I'm renting a short bus to go pick them up and have them committed.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

I firmly believe we need to get out of the 4-3. Whats wrong with having a combination of EVERYTHING. Come come out with the best formations and sets based on who you are playing against.

I think a major flaw isn't with the players but the D coaches. They don't know how to coach. They don't know how to teach disiplined defensive football. You can only go so much on talent then the coaching and brains come into it. Being in a 4-3 is suited to stop the run. You line up guys on the line to plug the wholes, thats it. 3-4 you can blitz from more areas, more schemes and drop back into coverages better.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

I cant say their the Dome Patrol until they make some hard hitting plays. Dome Patrol hit people so hard they had to get @ss whooping insurance.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

At least get a cool short bus so we can ride in style even if we look and sound like tards!

That is one awesome short bus. That is what Beetlejuice would drive if he were to star as James Bond.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

I remember SF's quarterback saying (paraphrased) "yeah, we always beat the Saints - but we hated playing them, because we were always sore and really hurting the next day". Awesome.

I don't think there will ever be another Dome Patrol again. I wear Sam Mills' number to this day.

Re: the possible new coming of the DOME PATROL
 

maybe...if we dress our linebackers up in security outfits....
