THANKS!! for keeping the Secret!!

I would never mention that Hall of Famer that wore number 78 when we're still on number 79. You know, the guy who played his whole 20 year career with the Rams. Nope, I would never give it away and spoil your thunder. :cool:

BTW, I always thought Coy Bacon was a nice addition to the Hall of Famers he played with.

Bacon and Fanning are so much alike as they both played with so many more popular players and they were the ones who really helped give those others success. Nether had super long careers as RAMS but both would have been the head stud on so many other teams. I loved both of these guys so much as they were what we want out of every player we will ever get. Both of these guys were REAL HEAD HUNTERS and really did honor to that forgotten number 79 . I celebrate them today for all they gave to us playing at such a high level.

Its now time for Rob Havenstein to be as good as these two alltime RAM GREATS and I really expect a ton from Rob as he still is a long way away from the player he will one day be for us. He will remake his babyfat belly into a solid core that will help him endure full seasons and become a true WARRIOR for the RAMS at the offensive Right Tackle spot , I hope for a decade if health and money keep him happy. He is well on his way through his transition and has shown he is up to the task of anything we are gonna ask of him. I really hope he can lock things down as soon as possible with verbal help from our "D" Line all stars. I'm sure Cig will give Kendricks and Harkey and if Laskey possibly makes it also will help Rob as much as possible as teams will try to break him down. I'm sure Robs day today will be from morning to night a self challenging battle in the gym and outside working footwork and I hope we are helping with some martial arts hand usage training as we did during GSOT days. I hope Brown is right there battleing with Rob day in and out till camp starts. No injuries guys and remember those GREATS that came before you wearing your #'s and here's to you being as great as Bacon and Mike Fanning were in the HORNS.

The Big problem with The O-Lineman like Bradshaw, and Goeas and the interior D-Lineman like Bacon, Fanning, and Pickett is they don't get enough credit for their work because the don't get a lot of fancy stats! They deserve to be WELL remembered!
Robinson and Havenstein ..

And hopefully draw a lot of Fan praise!
