Can you imagine having LT and Rickey Jackson as our OLB's and Mike Singletary as ILB throughout the 80's


or Howie Long in the interior?

would have been a boss defensive front.

Rogers had a very good rookie season in '81. Rushed for almost 1,700 yards. Had another 1,000-yard season in '83. Rushed for 4.4 yards a carry in each of his first two seasons, and 4.5 in '83.

Just didn't do it long enough. Drugs got him, plus Bum brought in Earl Campbell, too. But if the Saints had drafted Taylor No. 1, maybe they would not have drafted Rickey Jackson later in that draft.
