JMHO! But even though he was "Let go!" by the Team, Chris Long should be well remembered as a Great Rams player, in the locker-room, and on and off the Field! He was always a Spark to the Team, inspiring and just a great example to hold up to the Team!

Just Remember:
DE - Chris Long- 2008-2015
He was a 1st Round pick, #2 overall! In his 8 seasons on the team he played in 114 games, he had 8 Passes Defended/8 FF's/ 5 FR's one for a 47 Yards TD! He also had 54.5 Sacks / 195 Tackles and 52 Assists / and in week # 6 2010 he was Defensive Player of the Week!
No matter what his Future holds, he will always have a Special Spot, for me, on the Rams "All-Time-Best List!!"
There should be a lot of Gifs-Videos, and other photos ou there you want to share w/ comments!

I think I should probably add a few Historical Facts/Stats/ Footnotes for some of these Players!
* DT Diran Talbert-1966-70
DironTalbert4.jpg

He was a 5th Round pick, #66, who played 44 games for us, and also had 3 Post Season games. He was a real good rotational DT!!

* DT-Phil Olsen-1971-74
phil_olsen2.jpg

He was a 1st Round pick #4 overall of the OLD 'Boston Patriots' of the AFL in 1970!
In his 4 seasons w/ the Rams he played in 52 games. But he was Domed to always be compared to his Older Brother "Merlin"! Phil could never match his brother, BUT he was a good player!

* OG/OT- Kent Hill-1979-86
Kent Hill1.jpg

Kent was a 1st Round Draft pick,#26, he played 8 seasons for the Rams/ 107 games/ and went to the Pro Bowl 5 times!!

* OG/OT Zach Wiegert-1995-98
Wiegert2.jpg
He also wore Jersey #73. He was a 2nd Round Draft pick, #38, and in his 4 seasons as a Ram played in 49 games he had 7 FR's 1 for a TD!

* DE/DT- Chidi Ahahotu-2001
Could be best remembered for this "Ring Photo"
Chidi2.jpg

He played 16 games for us. he had 1 PD/1 FR/2 sacks/and 21 Tackles w/ 8 assists. he also played in 3 Post season games.

The last guy I want to mention JUST because I think he was a GOOD all-around O-Lineman for us!!
OT- Joe Barksdale- 2012-2014
Barksdale1.jpg

He palye d38 games for us and was a good player, and well liked by all!

Here's a very well made compilation of Chris Long plays. (Click "Watch on YouTube") Up to the 13 minute mark, Chris is wearing #72. I wouldn't expect anyone to watch it all, but it was nice seeing how much of an impact Long made when he was younger. Especially on some pretty awful Ram teams. Thanks for your dedication, Chris!
