And he played great to that year in the playoff game win against Philadelphia. Sure wish the Rams had him longer, but he only lasted 7 years and his last year was 1990 with the Raiders. I remember an interview they did with him in 1990 and he talked about that the Rams were informed him they were moving on because they were drafting a RB that year and they asked whom he liked and he told them Thurman Thomas and John Shaw told Bell they liked Gaston Green. Sure wish they had listened to Bell, but then again, John Shaw was only right two times in his life with Vermeil, also forcing Martz on Vermeil and then strongly suggesting acquiring Faulk. So three times in 30 years.
