Aeneas Williams

[AlphaRam]

Naturally, Aeneas Williams retired before this season. However, I did not find anything formal announcing the retirement. I have the Rams site as my home page so I do not think I missed the story there. In doing research on the net, I only found about his car dealerships.

Was anything ever officially announced?

Not that I know of. I think he was waiting to see who if anyone came knocking.

I didn't realize that he was looking to play for another team. I figured that injuries and age had caught up with him.

What a shame for a player of his stature to just slip into obscurity...


:sad:

How sad that his former team neglected to post any notice of his retirement.

this would be a shame if the rams didn't do anything for him on his retirement from the nfl (if he did retire). i was hoping he would resurface to maybe play one more year for the rams or become a defensive backs coach. I did notice that when he went down with injuries that's when our secondary started to go downhill FAST. excellent player and better be headed to the HOF. i remember him as a cardinal who forced steve young into early retirement, just one of the best defensive backs i've ever seen.

In December 2003 against the Browns, Aeneas made 2 interceptions in a 24 second span.

Anyone remember the interception of McNabb in the 2001 NFCCG?

I think he would have been interested in playing or coaching if Marmie was not the DC. The poor defense has suffered with Marmie at the helm and my thought is that Aeneas did not want any part of it.

I miss Aeneas. I wonder if he is done with football and if he slipped off without much of a goodbye.

well duh marmie was he d coordinator in arizona too... he knew what he was getting into

Aeneas became a Ram in 2001. Marmie did not get here until 2004. 2004 was the year that Aeneas suddenly had back problems. I wonder if stress caused those back problems.

So yes Aeneas knows all about Marmie and he is no longer playing is he........

Hard to post notice of his retirement when he hasn't officially retired.

[CanadianRam!]

he could still use him with all our injuries lol

It is a little strange that Aeneas hasn't made anything official. A few months ago I asked if anyone knew what his situation was, and someone posted this:

hes very involved with church right now at the st. louis cristian center!!!him and some other church members just came back from cali couple weeks ago!!I know my aunt is a member of his chruch and when I visit her he be in church(during offseason of course) and she came out to cali with the chruch and was staying with us..I ran into him a the hilton!!and he said he was done!!
