Who all has Blackshirts?

Secondary Blackshirts - A. Dennard, C. Evans, A. Green, Jean-Baptiste, J. Blatchford, L. Thorell, A. Cassidy, D. Stafford & P.J. Smith

 
I know Cassidy does, he tweeted a pic of it. I'm sure the other starting 11 from Saturday got them as well.

 
D-line Blackshirts - Baker Steinkuhler Chase Rome Thaddeus Randle Terrence Moore Eric Martin Cameron Meredith Jason Ankrah Josh Williams

 
per sean callahan: Only guy I don't know about for sure is Joesph Carter. I do not know if he got one or not. The other 20 are confirmed.

Pretty sure only on Special Teams.

And am I the only one that holds their breath when seeing Blatchford enter onto the field. I know he made the one tackle on 4th down against Sparty, but his play prior to that was aghh

 
Don't get me wrong, but, aren't the black shirts supposed to go to the starters only? I understand wanting to thank everybody, but awarding 20 kind of defeats the purpose of the blackshirts. Under this plan, a blackshirt is basically anybody on the two-deep.

i guess that is an adjustment with BO's whole earn them philosophy.

Im guessing it could be anyone who has significant playing time and plays a large role on defense. Just because a guy doesn't line up for the first play on defense doesn't mean he can't come in and make a huge impact. We rotate so many guys on defense so itd be hard to only give them to 11 guys.

Bo's two-deep is a little different than most teams' two-deep. Starting isn't really a big deal in this defense as there is heavy rotation during the game and the starters change from week to week. You almost have to award the two-deep because they all make significant contributions on the field.

 
Any chance that Crick got one too? Didn't see his name in the other posts. Even more bummed for him if he didn't close out with one!
