Not even close. The secondary doesn't compare.

Not a fan of these types of comparison but I'd say our current secondary (when healthy) has made more game changing plays when it was absolutely needed.

I remember the Dome Patrol. They were vicious, tough, and put many a QB on their back. Fun to watch but like anyone else, I like the W's anyway, anyhow. I will say though, the 49ers cheating cap mess really screwed over the Dome Patrol era. Without the 9ers being stacked with talent I seriously think the Saints would have gone deep in the playoffs with first round bye.

He's one of the better SS's versus TE's and probably the only one we have who can cover a great TE

I don't ever remember the dome patrol being shaky or abused by scrubs. They were dominant whenever they hit the field.

Except in the playoffs

How can you compare The Dome Patrol of old to any defense of this day an age?

This is a total different game to what it used to be. Today we have more pass oriented offenses and the penalties are getting outrageous, can't even look at a QB twice without getting some kind of flag and/or fine...

And Ed Reed is a FS not a SS

I said one of the better ones. That doesn't mean better than everyone else.

Ed is a FS and Troy gets burned frequently, he just makes up for it with a freakishly athletic play. He gambles a lot, but it usually pays off.

The dome patrol era Saints were outscored 123-46 in their 4 playoff losses.
