A lot of highlights of Greg Bell in this '88 Rams collection:

Great video clips Leuzer! Have to chuckle at a Younger Chris Berman, Ellard and Everett where Smokin"!! there where a lot of announcers that didn't seem to like the Rams for some reason back in 1988! I don't know why! Unless it was because of the Georgia influence!

Man, Everett sure could sling it with the best of them. And we had a great O-line to do it behind. Thanks for all your hard work, Dave! Here's a couple pictures for you.

Dave Elmendorf was one of my favorites growing up in the 70's. His best season was 74 IMO,
7 interceptions, 2 returned for TD's. 74 was a tough year for us RAMS fans losing to the Vikings in the NFCC :cry: Elmendorf had 2 fumble recoveries in that game :(

These are Elmendorf's 2 interceptions returned for TD's in 74!

Sad story for some older Rams fans out there like me who may remember Kirk Collins the Baylor DB Selected in the 7th Round of the 1980 NFL Draft, 176th overall by the Ray Malavasi regime....the talented kid from San Antonio had 5 picks in his short time with Los Ramos.

I say "short time" because I remember Rams HC John Robinson going to visit Kirk Collins in hospital in 1983 PreSeason as the poor kid got diagnosed with gastroesophageal cancer and died on February 22, 1984. :sadwalk:

RIP Kirk Collins
July 18, 1958-February 22, 1984
