Count-Down: Jersey #59

[DaveFan'51]

If you are into LB's, you'll love today! Starting with LB - Bob Brudzinski:

Bob Played 4 seasons for the Rams

and he played in 6 play-off games
here. ( he played in 17 play-off games in his career. the rest where with Miami)

Next up, From the GSOT, MLB - London Fletcher:

he had a way about him

He was powerful

Flashy

and Nasty!

He was only with the Rams for 4 years! Then, IMHO, he went for the Money!
( And I'll get in trouble for this, But I'll match JL's 1st 4 years against Fletchers stats, and take JL!)

Fletcher was a really good MLB, on a GREAT Team!

And he was no quitter!!


Next, London's replacement, LB Jamie Duncan:

Lovie thought he was better than Fletcher in some ways. He was WRONG!

That #4 on the worst List!!


( My computer is slowing, because of the load in this Thread! ) Be right back! Have at me guy's!!

Next up, LB - Larry Grant:

Trader went to the 'Dark Side'

this is what I mean!! " I'd like to Bitch Slap Him!"


Next up a man I wish we had keptFor Sooooo many reasons! C/OG/OT - Robert Turner:

He was hard to handle One-on-One

He was learning from Old Pro's like Dahl!

He was versatile and could play any position

And Strong as a Bull!

I for one wish we had kept him, I thought he was a good fit!


OK! That's all for me! Join in!!

In 16 years of playing in the NFL Fletcher only has 39 sacks, that's less than 2 1/2 a year!

That's crazy considering how well he's played at Washington and in St. Louis. Still, 2 1/2 sacks a year isn't that bad for a linebacker, but I would have guessed it would be a lot more than that.

Actually his stats where better in Buffalo, after he left here, and before he went to Washington!

 

[DaveFan'51]

I found another good one to add in!
* LB - Mark Jerue - 1983-1989

In his 7 seasons with the Rams he played in 86 Games, and had 3 INT's for 23 yards/ a long of 22yards and 1 TD! he also had 1 Fumble and 1FR and o.5 sack.

This picture above was mis-Labeled as 'Brudzinski' it is actually Mark Jerue!

I'm also trying to find photos of LB-Henry Rolling and LB Paul Butcher. IF anyone has their photos, I have some stats to put up on them!!

 

[DaveFan'51]

Just a few interesting stats to add about these players!
* LB - Bob Brudzinski - 1977-1980

In his 4 Seasons with the Rams he played in 55 games and had 4 INT's for 81 yards w/ a long of 31 yards and 1 TD! he also had 1 FR and OF COURSE He played in SB XIV!!!!

* MLB - London Fletcher - 1998-2001

In his 4 seasons he played in 64 games and had 6 INT's for 51 Yds. w/ a long of 18 Yds. he also had 5 passes defended and 5 FF's/ 1 Fumble/ and 13 sacks to go with 272 tackles and 79 assists. and 1 Safety.
But, he was in it for the money, at first! One contract w/ the Rams and gone! One contract w/ Buffalo and gone! and then he settled w/ the Redskins! JMHO but I think it was all about the money!

* LB - Jamie Duncan - 2002-2004

Not much of a replacement for Fletcher!
He played in 32 games and had 1 INT/ and 3 PD's/ and 1 sack w/ 72 Tkl's and 28 assists.

* LB - Larry 'the Trader!' Grant -2008-2010

In 34 games he had 3 FF's/ 2 FR's / and 3 sacks w/ 28 Tackles and 5 assists.

* Center/OG/OT - Robert Turner -2012

I can't stop saying this, and I won't!! WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIM!!
But with the rebuilding going on I guess I can understand what went on!
GO RAMS!!

Great finds Coach!!
* LB - Ben Leber - 2011- he played in 7 games w/ the Rams and had 1 FR/and 11 Tkls w/ 4 assists. He "Made his Bones" when he was with the Vikings for 5 years previously!

* LB - Muadianvita Kazadi -1997 ( What a Name!) he played in 12 games but had no recordable stats that I could find!

* OG/C/OT - George Lilja - 1982 - He played in 9 games for us, but of course, as an O-Lineman, No Stats to report!

* LB - Henry Rolling - 1993-1994 - he played in 21 games for the Rams and had 2 INT's for 21 Yds. and 49 TKL's w/ 5 assists.

* ILB - Korey Toomer - 2014 - " No Big Deal Here!!" he played 7 games and had 1 Tackle and 2 Assists!

If Micah Kiser can come anywhere close to the production and heart of his number-sake, London Fletcher, Ram fans will be pretty happy.
