I don't know Why but on look at that Helmet and I think immediatly of Tom Mack and Dennis Harrah.
Two great players and each very unique men.
Slater and Harrah were a great pair together.

But my embrionic Ram fan years started in the Mack Era.
He was a Pro Bowl mainstay /Perrenial almost equal to Olsen.

Mack was paired with Charlie Cowan ,Kenny Iman, Rich Saul , Doug France and John Williams mainly.
Then Doug Smith came in and Kent Hill As well around the time Slater got in.
They all had Mack as an inspiration I'm sure.

Man we had some great OLs.
Irv Panky and crowd Fav Bill Bain deserve mention as well as men who played rock solid.

Two or three of those guys where Pro Bowl Caliber every year.
Imagine if we had that quality now.

Yep that quality up front is foundational to winning and being in a race every year.

That 70's helmet really brings me back.
To me it's Chuck Knox Style Iconic...
"Ram Football ".

We are getting to that solid brand once again.
I'm Loving It.
