Count Down - Jersey # 44

[DaveFan'51]

Not a lot of really talented player's here, but some.
We'll start with OG - Harry Thompson: (1050-54)

He played 56 games for us. And I know he had to have played in some play-off games, but I can't find how many, anyone know!?

Next man up, CB - Al Clark: (1972-75)

He only had 2 Int's in his career with the Rams. But he did play in 1 play-off game.

Next, Possibly the Best of the bunch today! FB/RB Mike Guman: ( 1980-88)

He played in 106 games in his 9 year career with the Team

He rushed 342 times for 1286 yards, an aver. of 3.8, and had 11 TD's rushing

He also had 150 receptions for 1433 Yds. and 4 TD's

Pretty good stats for a FB!

And he's obviously PROUD to have been a Ram!


Next, RB - Gaston Green: (1989-90)

He also wore #30

His big moment as a Ram was when he had a 99 yard KR for a TD!

Have to Pause and refresh! (4 more to come!)

Next up, RB - Jerald Moore: ( 1996-98)

We traded a 1st round pick and went for him

I'd say he wasn't worth it!

enough said!

Next up, FB Madison Hedgecock: (2005-07)

He was a lot better than you'd think just reading his stats! I liked him anyway!

Next up FB - Mike Karney: (2009-10)

Not too bad

Anyone recognize the guy with all the hair Karney is helping!?!

That all I have for the day!
Any one else have some, Player, gifs, comments they would like to add!

 

[DaveFan'51]

OOPS! For got one! LS - Jake McQuaide: (2011- present)

Our Long Snapper!!

And he keeps involved

I wonder what he would like to play on the team other than LS!?!

 

[RAGRam]

Long snappers are people too Jake McQuaide.

OUCH!!!
I loved Gaston....He was a beast in high school out here...In fact, pretty sure he was a pop warner phenom as well....Thought he would do well....in the pros...nope.
And Guman was solid.....
#44 in my day (70's & 80's) was the number for LB's....that could hit...Shame that never caught on in the college & pros....I think LB's can wear 40's numbers in pros now...

I found two more.

Joey Goodspeed FB 2003-04
He had good hands but he didn't have good speed!

Don Ellersick HB-DB 1960
One and done!

I found an interesting fact about Ellersick:

Ellersick caught a touchdown pass for the Minnesota Vikings in their first-ever NFL game: a 1961 exhibition game against the Dallas Cowboys in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The pass happened to be Fran Tarkenton's first touchdown pass in the NFL.

I'm glad someone made that joke or I would have had to.

 

[den-the-coach]

Dan Curley who was finally activated and then could not play in the game because he actually pulled a groin in warm ups!

 

[den-the-coach]

Mike Dennis

Jerry Richardson

Will Sherman

Jim Jodat was Chase Reynolds before Chase Reynolds

Cleveland Gary

And I refuse to post a picture of Craig Dahl.

I'll survive!! BUT,I do have more detail to my thread!!

True-enough! But 44's are 44's and 43's are 43's!

Just think it should be a continuous countdown although it does put more onus on the jersey one day at a time.

 

[den-the-coach]

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.
