a class act, an amazing talent, kind soul, made the most clutch play in ram's history with his 70 some yard game winning td catch in superbowl 34...seriously that play was sick, the ball was underthrown, bruce knew it but played it off as he didn't, decelerated, made the catch broke a tackle and took it to the house...the greatest sports moment of my life, i was 12 years old and had some friends over for the superbowl and they cheered for the rams with me, after the game i took off my jersey and prayed on it, little did i know i might never feel dat feel again...this was the first year i had a favorite team and cared about the nfl thanks to fantasy football,i decided rams were my favorite team because i liked using them in the madden video game, i had no clue they were 4-0 at the time and lighting up everyone
may not be first ballot, but this man will be a hall of famer
current: cortland finnegan
quite the 180, i go from class to trash, i totally understand if you hate this jersey shore wanna-be scumbag, because i used to feel that way, but god damn does he love the shit out of football and you can see it in how hard he plays, not really a revis type shut down corner, is actually best when lined up in the slot, a great tackler for a corner, and just an amazing play maker. he's going to piss off opposing wide receivers with his dirty play and that's a great intangible attribute for a player, even though he might get called for a few personal fouls a year, sometimes it's totally worth it imo.. the man is a leader and i think the biggest impact free agent signing in the previous off season for anyteam and i really feel like he will help janoris jenkins(and maybe fellow rookie trumaine johnson, out of the university of montana) develop into great players, maybe ultimately becoming more talented than finnegan himself, i also dig that finnegan went to samford. props to jeff fisher for drafting him in the 7th round in the 2006 draft, i feel like fisher/finnegan have a love relationship similar to what brandon lloyd/josh micdaniels has
i trust that cortland is committed to the rams(or maybe just fisher) in the long run and will retire as one...i think fish will be coaching this team for at least 10 years
i have not had a favorite player since isaac bruce was traded to the niners, feels good man and i might actually buy a jersey
the only jersey i have is an isaac bruce blue/yellow(old colors) that my aunt got me for chirstmas back in '99 and i still wear that shit with pride every sunday, i wish they would go back to those colors and can't wait till they wear them for that one game this year, hopefully it's vs san fran cause over the past few years those jerseys have had some banging winning magic(see vs saints last year)
honorable mentions: two former ACC standout defensive ends chris long(UVA) and robert quinn(UNC...didn't even play his last year in college due to year long suspension, was still 14th overall pick in 2011 draft, turns out spagnolo actually did something good for the rams)....both of those dudes are young and extremely talented pass rushers,pretty sure they nicknamed themselves chocolate thunder and white lightning, long doesn't have too many sacks this year but is top 3 in qb hurries and knockdowns and a great defending the run and quinn has 5-6 sacks thus far including 3 in previous victory over arizona, needs to improve on stopping/tackling vs the rush....these guys can ultimately be better than kevin carter/grant wistrom from the '99 rams team
janoris jenkins: how big of a scumbag do you have to be to get kicked out of U of FLA? the fact that i hate everything about FLA says a lot, who cares, fisher will keep him in line, he's more than just a shut down cb(i don't watch college ball that much from what i understand when he was a freshman he shut down both aj green and julio jones, that's saying a lot), he's also a pretty damn big hitter, needs to stay out of trouble and not get burned on the deep ball so often...him and finnegan call themselves Cortnoris, i trust that he will develop as long as he can stay out of jail and stop having children
rookie kicker greg zuerlein aka Legatron, greg the leg and young GZ: this dude is amazing, last year was kicking at missouri western university, has not missed a fg yet and kicks absolute bombs(want to say at least 7 fgs over 45 yards, with 60 being the longest which came in a game he also had a 58 yarder in a 19-13 victory over seattle), i feel like anything within 70 yards in a dome is doable....he will break the record for longest FG(hopefully this year, as time runs out vs san fran) and is a future hall of famer
marion barber III and eric decker: the pride of u of minnesota over the past 10 years, fucking loved barber's runs style, it's easy to understand why he had to retire after last season, i loved watching him play in his prime at dallas, when him and maroney were running together at minnesota it was nothing for them to rack up 300 yards vs ANYONE, the best 1-2 punch in the last 20 years in my somewhat unbiased opinion
i hope this wasn't too much of a tl'dr, it came straight from the
