The Rams were in the beginning stages of assembling that great and dominating defense that in just a few years would earn the nick-name of the Fearsome Foursome. By the mid-60s, with defensive lineman Lamar Lundy, Merlin Olsen, Rosey Grier and Deacon Jones, the Rams would become a defensive powerhouse.
