Faulk was, in my mind, the most important piece of what was the greatest offense in the history of the NFL in the Greatest Show On Turf. Faulk really did everything, and not only that, but he did everything very, very well. He revolutionized the running back position, and when he was at his peak, I don’t know if there has ever been a better all-around back to ever play the game. He was truly a joy to watch, and he undoubtedly deserves this honor. I know I had nothing to do with it, but I felt a certain sense of pride watching him on the stage discussing his great career. I’m going to put a few quotes after the break, but I still recommend you find somewhere to watch the entire speech if you are interested.

I really like this move by Billy Devaney and the rest of the organization. Cadillac may not be the player he once was, but he is well-known as an excellent leader in the locker room and he can still be very effective in a more limited role. It’s pretty amazing that our stable of running backs last season consisted of SJ39, Keith Toston and Kenneth Darby, and this year it will be Steven, Cadillac and Norwood. You can say what you want about who the Rams did and did not get this offseason, but no one can deny that this running back group has been seriously upgraded in just a few short days. I can’t say enough how important it is for this group to stay healthy, but if they can I feel more than comfortable with this group over a 16-game schedule.
