Kenny Britt going back to #18

[CGI_Ram]

I'm not a fan of WR numbers in the teens.

Stand out by your play, not your number.

There are those among us who believe both 81 and 18 should of many retired. The Rams were the best team in football in '68. We would have pulverized Broadway Joe. Gabe was the Man! For me, that was the first of many bitter Ram pills to swallow... does this sound familiar?

Officials' mistake proved costly to Los Angeles Rams in 1968
The Los Angeles Rams needed a victory over the Chicago Bears to keep playoff chances alive in 1968. Late in the game with the Rams trailing by a point, the officials lost track of the downs, and L.A. ended up losing.

Look it up - With this win, we go to the SB...

Damn that sucks. I can imagine refs having to be on top of their game with no help from replay or anything like that. That's just ridiculous though. Idk how you forget which down it is. I wish I was a football fan since the 60's

Damn! Roman had a set of guns on him!

Gabriel and Olsen signed my football at Dad's bank in Long Beach when I was a kid. Wish I still had it. It was burned in a house fire in 72. Instead, I have a 2001 ball with Pace, Wistrom, Martz, Fletcher, Shaw, and Slater. Yeah, I know Jackie wasn't on the team then...but he signed it w a HOF addendum.

As a kid, the Angel Gabriel had nothing on my man Roman.

On a different note, the Bruce/Holt debate is fascinating. Bruce was superior in savvy and competitive fire. Holt was more durable and athletic. Ellard is forgotten but not by me. Henry could've filled either of their roles without a noticeable difference in production. Like my children, I love them each for their uniqueness.

It's pretty amazing that we had arguably the best two receivers ever on one team. I never watched Ellard but I know he was a hell of a reciever coach.

Interesting says it's a Britt thread but reading it the title should be changed to Roman Gabriel has jacked this thread

It's also an "18" thread. It means a lot to some of us old-timers. Hell, my GI Joe had an #18 Rams Uni!

But, you're right - It's great to have Britt back! He energized our entire receiving core, but there are certain #'s that are sacred.

Among them are: 74, 75, 85, 29, 28, 13... and 18.

 

[Big Game]

Quick 80? try 83

Yep your right my bad Coach

 

[BriansRams]

I too am NOT a fan of WR with numbers in the teens. Stay with numbers 80 - 89 please.

We didn't have Rice and T.O or Randy Moss

TO???? You mean the guy with one of the worst set of hands ever? Randy Moss was lazy as fuck and Jerry Rice, like i said before, was a complete product of having two HOF QBs his entire career. Oh and stickum.

I watched him a lot! He was a definite "Keeper!"

But TO is 2nd to only rice

Yeah I know. I'm not really talking about stats. Pure skill wise, Holt and Bruce are above Owens. IMO of course.

If we're going pure skill nobody's better then Moss or Calvin Johnson. I know Moss plays when he wants to. But when Motivated there was none better. The Allen Iverson of the Nfl

Moss and Johnson are both pretty one dimensional. Not real good route runners but are both obviously freaks. Holt was just as good at the deep route as both those dudes. But he was elite at everything else too.
