and you mentioned before, Rams down 17-16 . . . fought back...3rd and long and Rams take Merlin out and go with a 3-4 defense and on that play to Pearson where Preece, IMO, should have done better...and maybe McMillan, too . . .he looked like he was in fair position . .. maybe he was beat, but anyway
that was the backbreaker.... a 3-4 . . when a 4-3 was working
Also ironic the following year that both Preece & McMillian were replaced by Al Clark & Bill Simpson along with James Harris taking over for John Hadl and then the Hadl trade, that worked out amazingly for the Rams. Overall I still wish the Rams would have given Ron Jaworski the chance to be the guy at QB. However, I know GM Don Klosterman has not confidence in Jaws accuracy, even though he drafted Jaworski over Dan Foutes in 1973 draft.
