Today in Labor History March 21, 1946: The Los Angeles Rams signed Kenny Washington, the first professional African American football player in the U.S. since 1933. His father played baseball in the negro leagues. His uncle was the first black lieutenant in the LAPD. In college, he played both baseball and football. He was a teammate of Jackie Robinson’s at UCLA. Many people thought he was a better baseball player than Robinson. Leo Durocher supposedly offered him a contract to play major league baseball, but only if he played in Puerto Rico first, which Washington refused to do.

this has been the #LARams game plan under GM Les Snead

turn the unknown (picks) into proven commodities (vets)

in previous years, they've traded for:
2018: Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters, Brandin Cooks
2019: Jalen Ramsey
2021: Von Miller

Peters was also acquired from the #Chiefs

turnover differential usually goes hand in hand with wins & losses

#Seahawks +7 in 3 playoff games

Divisional Round vs #Niners +3
NFC Championship vs #LARams +1
#SuperBowl vs #Patriots +3

impressive considering they were minus 3 during the regular season

the inability of the #LARams defense to make 3rd down & red zone stops is what defined this game

#Seahawks went 7-13 (54%) on 3rd down & 4-5 in the red zone

LA couldn't get off the field consistently enough & it became a track meet

Todd Bowles is turning back to the #LARams well & I can't blame him..it worked great with Liam Coen, who was LA's OC in 2022 with Robinson serving as the passing gm coordinator/QB coach

& who was with them briefly that season? none other than Baker Mayfield

practical hire
