Here's Another Big Name for you! OT Ryan Tucker: (1997-01) GSOT

He Played in 6 play-off games for us and scored a Td in one of them for us as a 'Tackle-Eligable' (sp?)

For some reason, these are the only photos I can find of him! How about you!?

Next Big Guy, LB Pisa Tinoisamoa: (2003-08)

He played in 3 play-off games for us

and he had 7 Ints in his career

A really hard hitter

I really Liked him!!


Next a player I was glad to see GO! LB Ray-Ray Armstrong: ( 2013-14)

The Kid had potential ..

But NO common sense on the field!

Next up, A Future Starter, LB Akeem Ayers: (2015)

I really hope he works out the way Fisher thinks he well!

A real life time traveler?

OOP! Too Late to fix it Now!! ( The '0' and the '9' are right next to each other, you know!)

 

[LACHAMP46]

I remember Stams....Boy was he a flop...I remember Pisa....That's when Hawaii was really recruiting good...I definitely remember Collins...Think he's outta Penn State...Solid....Tucker was GSOT...Huge man with a center number...Great FA pickup...

Ray Ray...all the hype...moved outta position...great ST player...guarantee when he's a 5 year vet, he'll figure it all out....He will be the LAST PLAYER I ever rate on HYPE...Dudes all on the net saying Ray Ray this..Ray Ray that...then he ran that 4.7 40....and my ears pricked up...Then I watched Hi-Light clips...sucked me back in...After last preseason, I had to listen to my heart, and observe with my eyes...dude can't play...not LB...And @CoachO was saying it all along...

Ayers is #50....OK.....U.C.L.A. fight-fight-FIGHT!!!

Dick 'Crazy-Legs' Daugherty:

That nickname should be retired....seriously

 

[snackdaddy]

Dave, I appreciate you posting all these numbers. Quite a few remind me of when I first became a fan of the LA Rams. Ken Iman was the center I remember back in those days as a kid. Special times.

[PowayRamFan]

Halfway there, cmon training camp hurry up and get here.

 

[Memento]

I remember meeting Pisa Tinoisamoa at the Rams 2006 draft. He was a really cool dude.

 

[DaveFan'51]

Halfway there, cmon training camp hurry up and get here.

I just totaled it up and so far we have gone through 480 past players! I thought it would be of interest! I'll let everyone know what we total at the end of these threads!

 

[Farr Be It]

This is the man that may be the key to all the "unknowns" in the middle of the Rams Defense. Samson Ebukam is one player I am really looking forward to seeing.

 

[Kevin]

I really enjoy this! Love seeing so many great Rams from decades ago; kind of like a family reunion. And a great way to remember Dave and all the work he went through in researching all these player by their numbers.
