Vote for some Rams in the HOF fan vote

If you have an extra moment while your waiting to watch the St. Louis Rams players of the future on college football Saturday, take a moment to make your voice heard in the Pro Football Hall of Fame fan vote. Sponsored by Van Heusen and JC Penny, it's the first time ever that the HOF has allowed the voice of the fan to be heard.

Like a Florida election, however, the fan vote will not put that player in the HOF, but he will get a nice mention on the NFL Network. It's still pretty cool. There a poll over in the right hand sidebar on TST with the top vote getters so far. Jerry Rice isn't exactly a stretch for the HOF...or Emmitt Smith. You get to more of a gray area with http://www.fanschoice.com/vote.aspx Sharpe.

The full list is pretty long, and there are a couple of important Rams on there, that you should go vote for. Chuck Knox coached the Rams from '73 to '77, when they had that great defense with Merlin Olsen, Fred Dryer and Jack Youngblood. Deacon Jones was gone by the time Knox took over. They never lost more than 4 games.

The other long-time Rams great on the list is WR Henry Ellard. With the Rams from '83 to '93 he had all the receiving records before Holt and Bruce put their names atop that list. Go vote.

rams hall of fame vote

well Van Ram well said…..great choices chuck knox returned the rams back to the early great years we were used to,and henry ellard was truley a class act on and off the field in fact as far as im concerned he set the standard for what was to follow as being a ram receiver…he was the bar,that isacc bruce and tory holt followed.maybe donnie avery could become that but that remains to be seen.although there were some rams that deserve to be mentioned doing those knox years…lawrence mccutheon the work horse running back you mentioned the defensive standouts….harold jackson…who could forget the great offensive lineman the rams produced year in and year out.simply the solid part of those teams were the o-line.now i believe atleast one super bowl win should have came from those teams which were loaded with some great nfc teams we all rememeber…the cowboys and staubach,the vikings and fran,oh yeah those over the hill gang redskins always seem to have our number….i loved those years
but i want my greatest show on turf back
