Thanks a Lot CodeMonkey, I want them to be My Legacy to the ROD Archives, so when I'm 'Dead and Forgotten' I Know that ROD has the Best Archives of any Ram Forum!!(y):D
 
I occassionally post gifs of our current players and their best plays, but Pead doesn't have any to post. I suppose I could post his ACL tear, it about sums up his career.

Blake Countess currently wears #24 for the Rams. He provides quality depth at safety.

Here he is last year in camp covering Tavon Austin...

He's planning on competing in track during the Paralympics. I wish him nothing but the best.
Good for him. He had his troubles (mentally) and it was actually quite sad to watch his career dwindle away. Hopefully he smashes track!
