A Couple of Rams Stars We Never Talk About

[Loyal]

The first being, former Rams DE 1st round pick Grant Wistrom. He became a Super Bowl champion with the Rams and played in another with the Rams in 2001. He played with the Rams for six years before becoming a free agent, and he went to....the Hawks!

The second guy was a pivotal mlb for the Rams in the 1970’s and was the Rams Super Bowl losing team, Jack “Hacksaw” Reynolds. I can’t remember the reason why he went to the 49ers, but I’m sure Georgia F. Had some hand it! He was my favorite Rams player at the time, and that one left a bruise!

Both players left the Rams and had success with their new teams, as Wistrom went to a Super Bowl with Holmgren’s Hawks and Hacksaw won a Super Bowl with the 49ers, damn him! I guess we don’t talk about them, even though they both played the bulk of their careers with our team, because they had that success with hated rivals. Ike Bruce went to the Niners as well, but they sucked in the short time he was there....Kurt Warner left and had success with the Cardinals, and now he’s dead to me (I have a lot of Kurt Warner Super Bowl crap if anyone’s interested...)

Now even journalists are turning traitor, with Vinny the Rat, and Myles the Geek Simmons becoming Raidah’ bois in Vegas.

Yeah for some reason Hacksaw doesnt get the notoriety he deserves. We always had some great linebackers.

I will ALWAYS love Steven Jackson!

Hacksaw was my favorite player during his time. He really got my attention when he was at Tennessee. Hacksaw and London Flecher were my favorite MLBers of all time.

Hacksaw once cut a car in half with just a hacksaw. Beast. One of my favorites!

How about some Jack Youngblood? Henry Ellard. Nolan Cromwell. Those are some of the guys that built my passion for the Rams.

As for the Ram that we never talk about it's unequivocally Mike Wilcher, who also replaced Lawrence Taylor at North Carolina, when Taylor moved onto the NFL. Keven Greene get plenty of press, but Wilcher on the other side of Fritz Shurmur's Eagle defense was just as impressive.

In 1985 Wilcher led the Rams with 12.5 sacks and recording 97 tackles. He ended his Rams career with 400 tackles, 38.5 sacks and 4 interceptions

Correct, he was let go because the Rams owner didn't want to pay him what he felt he was worth. Bill Walsh didn't mind picking him up and getting the whiners owner to give him a raise.

Rams also traded starting LB Brudzinski that same year to the Dolphins.
