This is a pretty solid list, although any list with Grier and Pace would be a good.

You had me with that title. I was thinking... um... Rosey Grier? The Big O? What am I missing?

BTW - it is Rosey - not Rosie. I named one of my Labs after Mr. Grier. Probably why I noticed this. And also BTW - that Lab was the smartest and coolest Lab I've ever had. Still miss him 20 years later.

Pace may have been the most perfect OL prospect ever.

There's one story about him that always makes me smile, on how it would mean for us a few years later. It was the November 1995 game against Illinois. OSU trucked their opponent, like usual, and Eddie George rushed for a school record 314 yards that day. Simeon Rice went up against Pace-he would be drafted third overall in the 1996 draft- and must've been pancaked ten times. It was Pace's weekly display of dominance.

This one, however, turned out to be a particularly good showcase. Who was in the broadcast booth that day, calling the game?

One Dick Vermeil.

I hop this sparks some more commentary, and participation in these threads!
* DT- Rosey Grier - 1963-66
rosey-grier-1.jpg

A 2 time Pro Bowler and 1 time All Pro with the Rams,went to the Hall of Fame in 1973. He played in 56 games as a member of the Rams great "Fearsome Foursome" and had 2 FR's and 1 Safety! They didn't keep a lot of stats on "D" players back-in-the-day!

Next the man we traded to get Grier.
* DT-John LoVetere-1959-1962
John_LoVetere1.jpg
John played 51 games for us in his 4 seasons. he had 4 FR's/and !PR for 6 Yds. and a TD!

* OT- Orlando Pace-1997-2008
Pace4.jpg

He wasn't Bad! .. 1st Round Draft pick, #1 overall, 7 time Pro Bowler, 3 time All Pro! Should go to the H of F Real soon!
In 12 seasons he played 158 games/ had 7 FR's. He was an All Pro EVERY YEAR from 1999 thru 2005 talk about "GSOT!"

* LB/TB- Harld Svar-1953-54
Svar Player1.jpg

The only thing worse than his stats as a Head Coach of the Rams where his stats as a Player for the Rams. 2 Years 1 INT for 9 Yds.

* DE/DT- Robert Young-1991-1995
Robert Young1.jpg

A 5th Round Draft pick,#116, Played 63 games for the Rams, he had 2 FF's/16.5 sacks/and 112 Tackles & Assists before we Traded him to the "Oiler's" for a 6th Round Draft pick,#179 overall, in 1997. We picked the Great ' Muadianvita Kazadi' I KNOW, who !??!

* DT- Bob Brown - 1969-1970
Brown5.jpg
A very INTENSE player! He Played in 28 games as a Ram. He went to 2 Pro Bowls as a Ram, and 3 Pro Bowls as a Eagle, then went into the Hall of Fame in 2004 but I don't know weather he went in as a Ram or Eagle, or he also played for the Raiders one season.

* DT/DE - Cody Jones-1974-1982
Cody Jones1.jpg
a 5th Round Draft pick in 1973, #115 overall. He Played 110 games for the Rams. he had 2 FR's/ and 2.5 sacks. and he went to the Pro Bowl in 1978!!

* OT/OG Roger Saffold-1011-Present
Saffold1.jpg

A 2nd Round Draft pick in 2011, #33 overall, has played 68 games for us, and when he's healthy, he's pretty good. when healthy!!
Stats wise, Defensively, he's had 1 FR/ and 4 Tackles. I personally like him Best at ORG, but that's JMHO!

Again, I hope this sparks a little more participation, memories shared, videos etc. etc. etc.!
