Single Digit Numbers

While jersey numbers can get doubled up for offense and defense, it sounds like they won’t do that for the single digit guys. From the article @lo countryposted, it seems like they are going to have no more than 10 players in single digits. I actually like that, as it shows it’s a reward for the truly outstanding players.

Sims looks like he should be a LB instead.  Makes our LB and Rover look small.

Hopefully Sims can swim around defenders and is as elusive as a good linebacker to get beyond the line of of scrimmage. 

 
Single digits, the new non discriminatory blackshirts tradition.

Or if they also continue the blackshirt tradition…..how badass is the guy with a single digit blackshirt? Huh? Huh? Think about that.

I find it alarming the lack of talk about when black shirts will be handed out.  We are into week 2 and I don't think I've seen anyone ask

I'll enjoy seeing a number 4 flying around at LB again!

I am curious if any players really don't want the single digit - some guys are really attached to their numbers and have worn the same one since they were kids. I think you  have to recognize what an honor it is and change anyway. But say Buschini earned a single digit number, is he going to change after specifically going with 18 to honor Berringer? Moot point this year because a punter isn't going to get voted one of the "toughest players" (not offense intended to punters, they just don't do a lot of the tough parts of practice), but players wear numbers to honor friends and family a decent amount.

Excuse me?  Kicking in the wind might just be the toughest thing anyone does in the sport!  Right @MyBloodIsRed16@Mavric?  :lol:

I don’t think any of the “honored” players would be forced to take a single digit number they didn’t want. Would kind of defeat the purpose.

 


He could still wear a single digit during practice, wonder if they'll do that. It would look a bit weird, but they wear the practice jerseys a lot more than the game ones anyway.
