Blackshirts to be awarded today

[Mierin]

Add Chris Jones too. Just because he's hurt doesn't mean we won't miss him. 

But it might mean they didn't give him a Blackshirt.

16 ???????  :ahhhhhhhh

Stupid Diaco ruining the blackshirt tradition!!!!

So Bootle is the nickle corner

Wonder if Barry and Reed play in some nickle/dime packages?

 

[Mavric]

I don't know that Barry would be but I think Reed was getting some work at the Dime.

With the way teams come out in different offensive formations all the time, might as well change the tradition to giving them out to the whole 2 deep.

I'm not trying to instigate, but do we normally give out this many blackshirts? Is this number about average?

It's on the high end for number of Blackshirts, but I won't argue with how each coach handles it.  To each their own.

It seemed high to me, but I don't keep a yearly tally so I wasn't sure.

Charlie McBride handed out 14-15 in 1997, if that is any form of reference.

I have no problem if 16 guys earned it.  Who are we to say how many guys were/are deserving?  Congrats to those who made it and good luck to those still trying to earn it!

I am guessing there are about 13 different guys that play depending on the defensive package called.  The others may be in tight battles.

We're gonna get a penalty for that.
