Hard to believe that of the 5 retired Ram numbers, Deacon Jones (probably the most iconic Ram ever and the man who coined the term "quarterback sack") isn't one of them. It doesn't seem right. Thanks for the link Carlos.

We need a side petition to have Claude Terrell change numbers, and that no one will wear # 75 for the rest of the season.

Got it signed. Many thanks for the link, Ramman! :r

Here's my comment from the petition page:

A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y!

Last night on NFLN I saw '10 Best Pass Rushers' of All Time. No. 1? Who else but our man Deacon, one of my Ram idols from 1965-70.

Merlin Olsen calls him the finest DE ever. David Jones really is the highest standard for this position. Truly deserving of this honor, to retire #75.

Thanks for the petition. Please pursue it.

Have added a 2nd signature and comment:

There is no stronger Defensive End icon in Pro Football than Deacon Jones, member of the famed Fearsome Foursome / Los Angeles Rams, from 1961 to 1971.

Please grant this formidable Ram HOF the high and permanent distinction of retiring his jersey number.

ClanRam, let's JOIN IN ON THIS PETITION! :bash:

just signed it myself and I totally agree with everything said above (p.s. sorry I haven't been on in a while. I lost internet and finally got it back so expect many more posts from me now)
