He’d win his share too bro
Sure he'd win some, but I think AD is a player that may be the best of all time and I wouldn't quite put Orlando in his class. He sure was Hall of Fame good, tho.

Funny that no one has mentioned 2017 Gurley. I miss that guy.

1. Deacon Jones - the best Ram of all time and best pass rusher of all time

2. Merlin Olsen - number two to Deacon in Rams history

3. Adam Timmerman - as far as needs go, he would make our OL a top unit immediately

4. London Fletcher - would make our defense one of the best of all time by taking ILB from a liability to a neat elite unit



Not considering Kurt, Pace, Marshall or Ike because we already have above average players at those positions, unless we kick Pace inside - then I'd have him over Timmerman.

So many greats you almost can't go wrong. Too hard to make a decision out of them all too though damn. So I think I'd have to limit my choice to iOL or Blindside Edge.

Even from there though I have a hard time deciding. Man. So hell I think I'd go with Tom Mack in his prime, or maybe a young Kevin Greene both of whom would nicely fit what we do.

There are probably half a dozen OL minimum from the 70s/80s that would make this line a top unit in the league. Mack is definitely a good candidate among many.

Only problem is that Mack and others of our great Olinemen are too small for todays game. Mack was 250 lbs. Even Jackie Slater was only 277 lbs and I remember him being a big guy....

They would have bulked-up. Year-round training and proper diet of current-day pro athletes.

Tom Mack would have been 300+ pounds. And Taller!

True, good point. Maybe we'd have to feed them a few extra ribeyes, which I bet they'd gladly eat. ;)

going with anyone before the 90s would make me worry about the relative size and speed of the league now vs then.

With all the concern over the interior of the O-Line, I am surprised no one threw out players like centers Rich Saul or Doug Smith who each went to six Pro Bowls. For those who like Corbett at center, how about Hall of Fame guard Tom Mack (eleven Pro Bowls).
Im right there with you...those would be my top choice, hell I would even take a Tom Newberry or Kent Hill.
