Ricky Proehl’s kid Austin on Rams practice squad

Hope he can shine and make the 53 man roster somewhere if not here...

That's some really decent tape. Nice head fakes. I hate seeing WR tapes where they're wide open from blown coverages -- I wanna see a WR run a tight route & use his head to sell the cuts -- I wanna see contested catches, lay-outs, toe taps, etc. Ricky's kid is pretty good; I'd put Kupp well above him, but A.Proehl has some chops.

Yeah, he seems to have some Kupp in him in terms of great routes with deceptive moves that get him open.

A co-worker of mine's sister-in-law is married to Ricky Proehl. I'll ask him about this tomorrow.

Also, as a matter of fact, I've been meaning to talk to him anyways. He's supposed to be getting me a Proehl autograph to sit next to my Jackson autograph on my desk. SOB must have forgot! :rant:

Gotta love this move!

We ought to put a statue of that catch in front of our new stadium. It was a degree of magnitude greater than that Montana to Clark throw. I want to throw a rock at my tv every time that’s shown.

Maybe put it somewhere inside the stadium and sell snow-cones next to the statue.

The most important catch in the history of our Rams. The most important to date..........and will be hard to top.

This is the Rams version of "The Catch".

This is a great clip, and Farr's description of the play is great.........and hearing him say "PROEHL???" is always fun!!!

Perfect pass, fantastic catch. That was Warner doing his version of "I've got this".

Ricky's kids should get a lifetime exemption and always have a roster spot.

there's a clip of warren sapp talking about that play. he still looked frustrated that they made that play. said the db couldn't have had better coverage but kurt just dropped the ball straight into the bucket. that play was unstoppable.

pfft, montana to clark. montana shuffled across and clark was wide open. proehl had the db up his kazoo and kurt had to throw the perfect ball, which he did and proehl made a great catch. not sure why that play isn't discussed as one of the great plays in nfl history.

But Clark went way up on his tippy toes to catch it.

If he can be a student of the game, he'll develop nicely; hope Kupp will teach him all he knows about route running

That is pretty cool. Austin ran a 4.41 40 at the NFL Regional Combine, and he made a pretty incredible comeback his senior year, after suffering a broken clavicle??, I think. He has a little punt return experience, and he wants to try to contribute in that area, as well. I'll root for him.

Being a Heels fan (is it basketball season yet?), I watched Proehl a lot the last couple of years. The guy can play.
