====================
Guard: Rare feat for TJ Mcdonald…

To illustrate how rare a feat TJ’s performance was yesterday,
I was a Sophomore in college the last time that the Rams… as a team, had a blocked punt and a blocked FG in a game. The date…. December 2nd, 1979.

That’s crazy…

You know, i dont really remember that game. Bob Lee beat the Vikings?
Nolan Cromwell won it with a five yard ‘rush’ ?

When was the last time the same player blocked both a field goal try and a punt? For the Rams? In the NFL? Even in college? That is pretty rare.

TJ McDonald is playing like a man right now. When he hits guys, he brings it.

I said it to a Tampa fan sitting next to me, “TJ McDonald won that game for us, right there” and he agreed. In pregame, their kicker was easily kicking 50 yarders, so a 49 yard FG was very possible. Laying that kind of wood as well as blocking those kicks…

Well, that’s called showing up.

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.
