Nice to see Jim still noticing.... always wonder how many of the LA gang are still following the team.
Loved watching Jim in West Lafayette, Indiana, and even loved it more when he came to LA. Good stuff.
Everett is also the only Purdue quarterback to ever beat Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State all in the same season! Awesome.

I can easily see why Jim is recommending a TE. Everett had acrobatic TE Pete Holihan on his team, the most gifted pair of hands on a team that included Henry Ellard and Flipper Anderson at WR. Sam's favorite collegiate target was his TE Jermaine Gresham.

An elite TE would be awesome, after all Brady doesn't do too bad with Gronk & Hernandez

I saw something from Jack Youngblood a while ago, I think he's watching the Rams again. When Spags was there, he said he felt as if the Rams wanted to push them aside, but with Fisher and Snead they're a lot more open to the players of the past still being welcome and part of the team. It was nice to see, because you know Youngblood still bleeds Yellow and Blue.

I believe there was a general "pushing them aside" when they arrived in 1995. I remember reading articles back in the GSOT days about Harrah and some others feeling abandoned by Georgia's Rams. There was the occasional event when an LA Ram was added to the Ring of Fame, but many of the good but not HOF players were ignored.bluecoconuts said:
Remember that Deacon Jones wasn't added to the Ring until after Georgia's death.

Harrah was considered one of the strongest players in the NFL in his day and that o-line was a thing of beauty. It really is a shame things weren't managed better back then because with that line and that defense, the Rams should have won a lot more than they did.interference said:I had forgotten that Everette was nicknamed "blade", and I didn't know that Harrah gave him the nickname "General Blade", but I do remember Harrah having the nickname "Hurk" (photo'd below) :lol:moklerman said:
Thanks for the photo, it's terrific. That being said, the Nike jerseys are TERRIBLE.

I'm not positive about who gave him the nickname Blade,,, for some reason, I seem to remember it being Slater who tagged Jim with it. Again, I'm not sure though.
I do know why Jim earned that particular name however... One of our linemen (Harrah or Slater) would try and look back during plays at times in order to find where Jim was located in the pocket,,, apparently when Jim was viewed from the side, he was so skinny that he was hard to see. Skinny as a Blade
My dog who had the honor of being named Blade was the opposite of skinny. He was a pleasantly over-weight pug. If he was still around, he would definitely try and rip out jim rome's carotid arteries. I loved that dog.
