Note: Again, as always, these are historical questions that go no further than 1994.

 

[bluepigpen]

At some point I might ace one, not this one though.

Rams won 11 in a row in my senior year of high school and then tanked, 1969.

Dempsey kicked the record 63 yarder the next season in 1970 against the Lions

Odd time, Carroll tried to get rid of our starting RB Bryant as compensation for getting Ron Jessie, went to court and trading rules were changed.

At that time I think all QBs held, was it Billy Kilmer?

Only kicker I remember with the Saints was Mort Anderson but he didn't punt, I don't remember

I don't remember who the coach was

 

[bluepigpen]

I am starting to think though my advantage is being old and seeing most of this older stuff. It is great to remember though, haven't thought back like this in years.

 

[Battlelyon]

Tom Fears was the coach,
Brian Hansen was the punter
Archie Manning as the holder

 

[RamCub]

I can't see Blue's answers from my desk!
