Thread 'COUNT DOWN - Jersey #91'

Jun 8, 2016

This is another thread I had to re-do because I couldn't find the original one! there are five more scattered among the jersey numbers, but that doesn't mean I won't be tweaking them all!:rolllaugh:
1st up, a player who should have been in the Hall of Fame a long time ago!

LB/DE - Kevin Greene - 1985-92

A 5 time Pro Bowler, and 2 time All Pro He played in 119 games in his 8 seasons with the Rams.

He had 2 Int's for 35 yards and a TD / 13 FF's / 11 FR's / and 72.5 sacks for the Rams ( 160 sacks tot in his career) which is one reason I say he...

#90 moar days til football season starts:

This guy always looked good gettin' off the bus.

Carriker... oh what hopes we had.

And here's Zgonina, on one of the more underrated Rams D units in their long storied history--underrated only because of the advent of the GSOT.

Anyone I'm missing from the olden days?

Larry Brooks played next to Merlin from 1972 to 1976 and wore #90.

In 57 years of following the Team, it's my opinion that Larry Brooks is the the Most UNDER-rated Ram player.

Great call. Anchored the great early 70's defenses with Dryer & Youngblood.

Speaking of whom -- here's #89 himself:

A success on the field, and off of it lol -- googling him brought up mainly Hunter pics:

edit: just for giggles:

I prolly won't post 88 or 87, so you all need to chip in this weekend.

Go Rams... 89 days...

Don't have a number and hope I'm not interrupting this thread but I can't wait until the NFL goes to a 30 game schedule over 40 weeks. I'm tired of this 6 month off season shit.

I guess you want to see the teams lose half their players due to injuries.

Better have 90 man rosters.

30 games over 40 weeks with five 2 week byes. Sure increase the roster size to 75.

Of course I don't expect that!!!! I was simply demonstrating I'd be good with just about anything to shorten the off season.

This #89 provided some thrills.

 

[JonRam99]

#88 -- he only wore it for his rookie year, and from what I know, the only one worth posting below (here's squinting at you, Handbricks & FLOPenstien):

#87 -- this guy, with this catch, put the GSOT in the SB:

Oh and now a HC in the UFL! doing a pretty good job, shame his QB situation wasn't as good this year (lol here he is, pointing at Perez):

This guy's coming along nicely, and he's a key part of our 13 sets, Mr. Davis Allen; honestly one of our better TE's in our looong history of mid TE's (here's squinting AGAIN at you guys, Handbricks FLOP & oh ya J.Cook):

...aaand here's #86, big Brandon Manumaleuna, more of a blocking TE for us & played 5 seasons as a Ram, starting 4 of them. Made a few splash plays including catching a TD pass on a HB option -- from LaDanian Tomlinson :\ after we traded the former 4th rounder to the future squatters:

That's all I got, lemme know if I missed anyone. Just trying to keep a ROD tradition alive.
Go Rams!

Isn't that last pic of Mike Barber?

 

[JonRam99]

This guy stopped by to say how disappointed he is in ROD not dropping pics of him in this thread yesterday }:-[

Oh & this guy too:

Ok, ok... here's #84 -- the other end of the Gabriel-Snow connection & wore #84 for 10 whole years:

And here's Ernie Conwell, a valuable member of the GSOT, who was an underrated TE & imho, heralded the decline of the GSOT when he left in 2002:

Oh, the promise... had this kid's knees held up... ahh who am I kidding, he had no QB/HC to speak of.
I give you the nearly-famous DX Missile:

That's all I got folks. Help me out & keep this going!
Go Rams
