On this point, I've always wondered why we didn't keep Wagner around. We were only paying him an average salary and it was incentive heavy. He's still playing pretty well over in Washington.

The simple answer is that the Rams just don't value the LB position and they haven't for a very long time going all the way back to London Fletcher in Stl.

Agreed on Wagner. I wondered that too. Didn't he "want" out of LA?

We had some good lb's over the years and let a few of them get away. One of my fav's although not on the below list was Roman Phifer. Such a good dude and talented too.


Top Rams Linebackers in History:

Les Richter (1954–1962): Acquired in a blockbuster trade that sent 11 players to the Dallas Texans, Richter more than lived up to the hype. A legendary middle linebacker and kicker, he was a 6-time All-NFL selection and was selected to 8 consecutive Pro Bowls. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.

Kevin Greene (1985–1992): Drafted in the 5th round, Greene evolved into one of the most prolific pass rushers in NFL history. While he had incredible success across his entire career, his 72.5 sacks in a Rams uniform make him a terrifying outside linebacker. He was voted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.

Isiah Robertson (1971–1978): A true ball hawk at outside linebacker, Robertson was an immediate standout who won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1971. He made 6 Pro Bowls during his time in Los Angeles and anchored a consistently elite 1970s Rams defense.

Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds (1970–1980): Known for his immense toughness and legendary workouts, Reynolds was the emotional and physical anchor of the Rams' defense throughout the 1970s. He helped lead the Rams to Super Bowl XIV and went to 2 Pro Bowls.

The most "celebrated" lb??? How about Mike Jones???

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
