Our offense then was hope to get to the 35, and then run 3 consecutive conservative plays Maybe if Morten wasn't so good we would've opened up the playbook a little I remember a lot of games with scores of 16's, 23's, and 19's. |

I think we relied too much on Morten and the D. Too conservative.

Re: Why didn't the Saints have more success during the Mora years?
This post is bringing back frustrating memories for sure. Watching the defense was a thing of beauty, but for the most part watching the offense was miserable. Who really knows what the problem was, did Mora and Smith hold back Hebert or was Hebert really that bad? And yes, Hebert did choke big time in that Eagles playoff game in 92. Getting aggravated just thinking about it all...

You know what's funny? Search "Bobby Hebert Highlights" in YouTube. You won't find any.

I really think we were too quick to send Morton out for a FG. Yes, he was "money", but I think it hurt our chances to win.

Re: Why didn't the Saints have more success during the Mora years?
Offensively we really didn't have even good WR's until we got Joe Horn. We had some really great RB's in Hilliard and Mayes and Gijan, but the reality was that injuries just killed us. We would get to the playoffs and by then we were decimated with injuries on defense which was our claim to fame and with such a mediocre offense we couldn't get past teams that would score on our depleated defense.
