Rams All-Time Defensive Line

[808RAMS]

Pick 5 or 6

Definitely Aaron Donald, Deacon Jones, and Jack Youngblood, would be my top three choices.

Who else? I'm drawing a blank..

Can't forget Merlin.

 

[OldSchool]

Is better than any other teams all time DLine.

 

[AvengerRam]

Donald, Jones, Youngblood and Merlin Olsen would be the top 4. Behind them, you're looking at guys like Larry Brooks, Fred Dryer, Leonard Little, Rosie Grier, Lamar Lundy, Coy Bacon and Robert Quinn.

That defensive line would be scary good

Could Jack Youngblood play an OLB because I would love to add Kevin Greene to the list as the other OLB

As I recall, Youngblood played DE at 245 lbs. By today's standards, that's OLB size!

AD, Merlin, Deacon, Youngblood

AD, Merlin, Deacon, Youngblood

Merlin pretty-much played his entire career with either Deacon Jones or Jack Youngblood on his left side.

My man!

Rosie has to be in the discussion.

Coy Bacon. Man, that name’s a blast from the past.

Coy Bacon. Man, that name’s a blast from the past.

Coy Bacon was one of my favorites as a young Rams' fan.

Yeah, I forgot Merlin Olson.

How could you forget Merlin? He played for over fifteen years, and he was an All-Pro in damn near all of them. Hell, I was born too early to really see him (born in 1991), and I'd still include him in the All-time Rams defensive line.

It's because Merlin sold flowers I bet.

 

[Alaskan Ram]

I want Michael Brockers rotating in.

 

[Memento]

I want Michael Brockers rotating in.

Yeah, the only thing I regret about our run is that Brockers and other deserving players of ours never got the ring. He was a solid player for us. Same with Robert Quinn.

 

[Mojo Ram]

So many. It’s impossible without leaving guys out. I’d like to see AD lined up with Deacon, Quinn and Olsen, with Greene coming off the edge.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Jones, Donald, Olsen, Youngblood, and Adam Carriker.

 

[Memento]

Jones, Donald, Olsen, Youngblood, and Adam Carriker.

Fuck Carriker and Hill; I wanted Ngata and Revis.

 

[tempests]

+ Andy Robustelli, another old-timer who would probably be way up the all time sack list if they had kept track of them back then.

 

[fearsomefour]

Donald, Olsen, Jones, Youngblood

Carter, Quinn, Grier, O'Neil, Farr for depth

Pass rushing specialists in reserve, Greene, Little.

Not making the team....Jimmy Kennedy, Sean Gilbert, Carriker, Marc Boutte.
