It would be nice to see Goff throw to Isaac Bruce as well. Imagine having Isaac Bruce last year.

Vince Ferragamo or Jim Everett!

Man, I just watched an old Rams game the other night on YouTube. Rams/Cowboys 1984 Monday Night. I think it was the season opener. Wow, was Ferragamo bad.

He at times was so inaccurate and forced things into double coverage so often... was a shame. He should have been much better.

Love Goff but, Warner on offense.

Greene is a natural fit but, IIRC Deacon ran 4.5 or so. Part of article after his death. Jones would be interesting to see @OLber.

When Deacon Jones passed away, the football world lost a great, great pass rusher who was light years ahead of his time.

I saw him a lot when I worked for the Dallas Cowboys, because we used to scrimmage with Deacon's Los Angeles Rams. He was a big talker, but he produced. One of the most significant things about him was that he was so fast. He probably could run the 40-yard dash in about 4.5 seconds in an era when it was unheard of to have defensive ends run that fast. It was unbelievable.

Deacon Jones: 1938-2013




He wasn't real big; probably 245 pounds, if that. We'd been used to having such big, lumbering guys, so to speak, slow guys at that position. Deacon just brought a whole new dimension to rushing the passer and making plays from the back side. He had such great get-off, like a ........................

Ferragamo was never the same after he came back from the Canadian league. Rams brass messed with this guy really bad. Also, the Rams were 100% Eric Dickerson at this time.

I went to that Dallas/Rams game. Really sucked. Rams took a big league early then nothing the rest of the way. Ferragamo did stink it up that night!

He wasn't bad in 83', in fact had a very good season... still too many picks, but 84' he was brutal. He then broke his hand I think early in 84', after that traded for Tony Hunter in 85'.

Robinson wasn't exactly running a QB friendly O, kind of Fisher-like. Would have been interesting if they would have gotten Zampese while Ferragamo was there, but his accuracy would still be an issue.
