Rams Place Two OL On IR

Fortunately, it's OT Braden Brown with a bad back and G/C Kevin Saia with a bad foot. I think we've already signed a couple of scrubs to the OL for camp purposes.

Also, we signed another WR Justin Vettung to the squad. Looks like Schotty is serious about opening up the playbook! He wants as many healthy WR's working out in camp as possible. Helmock might be out for a few days I hear.

Also, Rok Watson signed with the Chiefs who are going to play him at tackle.

I watched the induction speech of Larry Allen into the Professional Football Hall of Fame. He stated that growing up near LA, his favorite team was the LA RAMS!!! His favorite player was none other than JACKIE SLATER who he had stand and be recognized. Jackie was there in the crowd and that brought a smile to my face.

Retro - I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Jackie Slater at an event and he is one class act!

Yea Ramcub. A class act until he put on that helmet then he had a mean streak to go with his technical acumen that was well... ...HOF caliber. I wish we had him today at RT. May be Saffold will get it and buck up to the bar.

Jim Everett once said he had proof football existed in prehistoric times. "I've seen the calluses on Jackie Slater's feet where he used to stop his car like Fred Flintstone," Everett said. Jackie Slater, football dinosaur, is still eluding the tar pits of retirement. At 39, the only active player who remembers Chuck Knox's first stint with the Rams readies for an 18th campaign. Like the tide, Old Man Ram just keeps coming back.

Man I am sure he could suit up today and handle half the DEs in the league. He may need some weight training and some serious influx of calories but at 39, I bet he could still get after it.
