Count Down - Jersey #25

[DaveFan'51]

Today we will start with the Best 'Back-up' (later starting) QB we ever had! At #25 QB - Norn Van Brocklin: (1949-57)
{ He switched to #11 after he began starting in 1952}

He Played for us 9 seasons, And No he was not the starting QB on the 1951 Championship team. although he did start one game in the playoff's that year!

He racked-up some great stats with us!

He had a record of 42 Wins-20Loses-3Ties and he completed 1011 of 1897 passes for 16114 Yds./118 TD's/w/127 Int's.

He played in 6 Playoff games his record is 1 win/2 Loses in them. He was 35 of 75 for 532 Yds. and #TD's in them. with 7 Int's.

He and Wade were 'Gun Lover's' too.

He also rushed for 8 TD's! and as a Punter for us he had a Record of 167 for 7073 Yds. w/a long of 70 Yds. and only had 2 Blocked!

Here's 3 of our top 5 QB's, IF not the Top 3!!

"And I'm just getting started, today, FOLKS!"


Next up Safety Don Burroughs: (1955-59)

I wanted to include him because of his time with the team!
In 5 seasons he had 21 Int's for 236 Yards.


Next up, a player you'll remember, one way or another{you'll see what I mean in a second!} WR/RB Bernie Casey: (1967-68)
He came over from the 49ers!

He had 82 receptions for 1436 Yards and 13 TD's a 17.5 aver.! NOT too shabby for a former 9er!

He also played in 1 playoff game and had 5 rec. for 82 Yds. and 1 TD, an aver. of 16.4!

IF you don't remember him yet, Maybe you remember him from his acting career ..

OR ..

Star Trek anyone!, and many other roles!! ( I had to include this when I found It!)


I have to take a break, Back shortly with 3 more!

He had 22 Int's for 350 Yds. and 3 TD's.

A GSOT man, at FB!

He had 210 rushes for 636 Yds. and 10 TD's

* DB - Corey Chavous - 2006-2008

In his 3 seasons with the Rams he played in 46 games.

He had 1 Int for 17 Yards./ 30 Passes defended / 1 FF and 1 Fumble.

He also had 1 sack and 192 Tackles w/ 32 Assists.

He knew how to pursue!

 

[DaveFan'51]

Here's just a few more stats and Bio. on the players you've seen so far!
* QB - Norm Van Brocklin - 1949-1957

He was a 4th Round pick by the Rams in 1949. and he went into the Hall of Fame in 1971.
In his 104 games w/ 65 Starts his Passing comp. rate was 53.3% and his longest pass went for 84 Yds. / His QB rating, in the regular season was 74.7/ he Rushed 72 times for 35 Yds. w/ a long of 16 Yds. / he had 31 Fumbles and 9 FR's.

" I have to Chuckle, he spent his 6 Seasons before the Rams w/ The 49ers, and NEVER went to the post season. He had to come to the Rams to make it!!"

Lastly:
* FS - T.J. McDonald - 2013-Present

One of the underplayed stories of this years camp with the Rams is the presence of 23 year-old twin brothers Nate and Nick Holley. While Running Back Nick (#25) seems to be fighting an uphill battle to make this roster with Gurley, Brown, Kelly and Davis seemingly well ahead on the depth chart, he has a couple more games to make an impact.

Good call. Furry actually had a really good season (98 catches) for Detroit in 2006.
