Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many times did the Saints make the playoffs in the 1990s?

Answer: 3

Incidentally, as all Saints fans know, they never won a playoff game in the 1990s.

2. Retired in 2002, who was the only Saint in 2001 that had been with the team before the 1990s?

Answer: Wayne Martin

Wayne Martin anchored the D-Line for more than a decade. He retired after refusing to take a paycut.

3. Which Saints wide receiver caught over 1000 yards in 1992?

Answer: Eric Martin

Eric Martin, in his best season, caught for a little over 1000 yards. Unfortunately, the Saints have had such dismal receivers over their 30+ years of existence, that this set a franchise record.

4. How many total games did the Saints win in the three seasons that Mike Ditka was head coach?

Answer: 15

6-10 in 1997, 6-10 in 1998, 3-13 in 1999.

5. Who once set a record for the longest reception in franchise history of 90 yards in 1999?

Answer: Eddie Kennison

Eddie Kennison, the NFLs fastest man a few years back, performed below expectations in New Orleans (his longest punt return was 18 yards), and was shipped to Chicago in the offseason for a fifth round draft pick.

6. Which 2000 fifth round draft pick out of USC, made his debut by returning a punt for a touchdown in his first preseason game?

Answer: Chad Morton

Chad Morton, a running back, is the younger brother or Lions wide receiver Johnny Morton.

7. Which wide receiver led the Saints in receiving yardage in 1998, but was not offered a contract for the following season?

Answer: Sean Dawkins

These receiving yardage leaders were not with the team the following year; Randal Hill in 1997, Sean Dawkins in 1998, and Eddie Kennison in 1999. Dawkins fled to Seattle, Eddie was traded to Chicago, and Hill went to camp with the Bears but, sadly, is no longer in the league.

8. Who did the Saints take with their first round draft pick in 1996, opting to pass up Eddie George even though he was still available?

Answer: Alex Molden

This snafu has long been criticized, but the Saints coaching staff was not all at fault. Mario Bates was coming off a 900+ yard season, and the team felt it needed help in its secondary. Molden never flourished under Ditka.

9. How many times did offensive tackle Willie Roaf make the Pro Bowl with the Saints?

Answer: 7

Roaf has for many of those years been the Saints' only representative in the Pro Bowl.

10. Who was the only coach rehired after Tom Benson fired Mike Ditka and his entire coaching staff?

Answer: Rick Venturi

Venturi was seen around the league as one of the top assistants in the NFL. He coached both the linebackers and the secondary.
