Aaron Donald is…

[JRobinson]

The BEST player I’ve ever seen. He the undeniable best defensive player to ever play the sport. He is 1 of 1 and honestly, even as disappointing it would have been not to win a SB… being a Rams fan is worth it all to see him play. And my forever no. 1 guy, SJ39.

Seasons will be bright and grim. But one things for sure, I’m thankful I’m a Ram.

Lastly, fellas,…. It’s been such a blessing and an appreciation for the ability of McVay and Snead. Name a better duo over the past decade.. I’ll wait…. Here’s to health for 2024

My biggest regret is not seeing him play live, I kept thinking "maybe next year, he's still young, the retirement rumours are just smoke". Won't make the same mistake twice. Will be catching my first Rams game this December in SoFi. Flight cost, hotel costs, game tickets (sprung for some 100 level seats).... just hope Stafford and Kupp are healthy and play because coming from Canada it is not cheap! Ideally I could buy last minute but that is hard to do for me in Ontario. Need to plan vacation time and make arrangements for others to look after the pets and kids in advance. I'd have been gutted if I dropped $1000s and was scheduled to go to a game early this year with half the team on IR...

I saw 3 of his games live. The first one was against Baltimore in Baltimore in 2015 and I told my friend to keep an eye on Donald who he had never heard of.

After a few plays that game, he turned to me and said he is a beast.

 

[Memphis Ram]

......glad he retired.

 

[Londoner]

… sorely missed.

 

[TXRams86]

...getting paid a shitload of money to sit on his ass, eat Cheetos and watch this clusterfuck of a team. Good for him.

 

[LARAMSinFeb.]

Apparently he was more of a 1-man defense than I even realized.

 

[Corbin]

If AD was playing this year this D would look a lot different. Hence, people still under appreciate the actual impact he made every snap.

 

[JonRam99]

....tired of this crap too.

 

[Tano]

If AD and Jones were both playing for the Rams. this defense would be a 1000 times better, maybe even top 15.

I was at that game in BMore. He snapped Forsett's arm in that one. Nasty stuff

Yeah I remember that play.

And damn it was cold in that stadium that day. I was high up and freezing my ass off. And I stayed for the entire game.

Same, I was in the club level and went inside to the bar for some of it,but stayed for the whole game. It was windy af that day and I remember Keenums arm just looking so weak trying to throw into it. Of course Tucker kicked the game winner.... I swear 90% of the jerseys in that stadium were Justin Tucker jerseys. Crazy for a kicker to be that popular.

I swear 90% of the jerseys in that stadium were Justin Tucker jerseys. Crazy for a kicker to be that popular.

Part of the reason for that is they know the kicker, if he signs a long term contract is going to be around awhile and the jersey is still viable. I would never don a kicker jersey, but I have only worn 3 jersey's over the years. Deacon Jones, Jack Youngblood and Aaron Donald so I am spoiled.

Is that why his nostrils are turning orange?

[methomas50]

The most dominant DT I have seen, astounding when he admitted to playing between 252 and 258 pounds last year.

 

[dang]

…shaking his head but thankful he does not have to wrestle 3 320lb sweaty meatheads and a team of blind refs every Sunday.

That was the biggest issue, so many holds that were never called. Ridiculous.

 

[methomas50]

Honestly the plays I am going to remember him for are the sacks and pressures that closed out the NFCCG and SB. Without those plays, no ring in 21.
