Rams need a Mt. Rushmore of Fullbacks. Then the old timers get their due.Good list but it does forget some of the greats from the past.
I was thinking " where the hell is Gurley? Ohhh yeah SJ cut the dreads!" lol
Can Bertelsen, Cappelletti and Cullen Bryant be their back-ups?!?Rams need a Mt. Rushmore of Fullbacks. Then the old timers get their due.
Dick Hoerner, Deacon Dan Towler, Tank Younger, Dick Bass.
THAT is crazy talk.You could make a case for SJ being # 1 on the Rams list.
“What’s a fullback?!?” Any Rams fan under 45.Fullbacks are not people along with kickers.
Hall of Famers Jim Brown, Jim Taylor, Franco Harris and Larry Csonka all roll-over in-their-graves ... and ... Csonka is still alive!“What’s a fullback?!?” Any Rams fan under 45.
It was Rich Brooks, the best argument Ive ever seen for retroactive abortion, wanting to use Bettis as a Fullback.The dark dark days of the Black Widow. We did end up with Marshall, but, sending JB to the Steelers due to a shit O-line, just rip my heart out.
I am stunned that anyone could put SJ as #1. Either you are younger and he was all you had as a kid in those terrible years, or you're crazy, haha.
I always saw him as a dude that loved being a big fish in a small, stagnant and filthy pond. His interviews back then just turned me off. I also resent his (IMO) lack of respect for THE GREATEST RAMS RB OF ALL TIME, MARSHALL FAULK!!
Look, I get it, we are supposed to love all of our former greats. SJax is different for me for some reason. Maybe it was the painfully shitty era of Rams football that he represents. Maybe it was his stupid jump cut/run into a lineman routine.... I dunno. But outside of his one amazing season, I just never loved the feller.
Disclaimer: I have been sick for a few days and am clearly cranky, so forgive me for my punchiness.
Go RAMS!!
Cullen Bryant was a very good Ram... a solid back up RB/FB, a good KR...and a big one at that. Just a very solid all around good player.Can Bertelsen, Cappelletti and Cullen Bryant be their back-ups?!?
SJ knew how to show respect. The day he broke Dickerson's Rams record he wore his goggles during warm ups.I am stunned that anyone could put SJ as #1. Either you are younger and he was all you had as a kid in those terrible years, or you're crazy, haha.

Yeah... we would NEVER do something like that! - ColtsThe Rams and Rich Brooks, who is on the Mt Rushmore of idiots, traded Bettis way too early in his career....otherwise Id agree.
Agreed, Bettis was a "Steeler". Sucks, but he is.
I concur with this top 4. I didn't know McCutcheon, but every time I saw Gurley touch the ball, I felt anticipation.
Top RB regrets --
1. Trading Bettis
2. Gurley's health
3. Jackson's wasted years
4. Giving up on Trung Candidate too soon!!
5. Tre Mason too!!!!
Also the first Ram to ever score a Touchdown in a Super Bowl.Cullen Bryant was a very good Ram... a solid back up RB/FB, a good KR...and a big one at that. Just a very solid all around good player.
