The play where he ran through PWillis in 2012 is a popular answer and for good reason, but let’s not forget how big his block was on Willis w/a full head of steam coming clean through the A gap was to give us the lead late pic.twitter.com/ughGc7aEw1

He also to shit from nobody. The Rams are 1-12 at this point and SJ was sitting out all 3 days of practice and the walkthrough each week to play through a herniated disc in his back.

“You go on, you go and represent another city and another team… Just know you’re always welcome back, man. That’s what we’re built on around here.”
People should listen to this whole thing (vid, last post). It’s really SJ in a nutshell and represents some kind of real continuity for a Rams spirit, past to present. Good for him. Good words as always.
