18 Austin, Terrence

60 Capers, Selvish

94 Carriker, Adam

58 Cook, Erik

84 Galloway, Joey

53 Riley, Perry

32 Russell, Anderson

19 Wade, Bobby

87 Williams, Roydell

72 Williams, Trent

Damn, I thought they might have unofficially retired Chris Samuels' number. At least for a few years

Joey Galloway wearing Clarks 84?? Capers wearing 60?? do i have room to get pissed here or is it a complete overreaction??????????? probably just no big deal.

Sometimes I think people forget that there are only 99 usable numbers, and they are very restricted by position.

I wish the NFL would stop that. It is lame the reason they give for restricting numbers at certain positions.

i think about that all the time. we can only covet numbers for so long, before they are needed again. i am all about recognizing greatness, but new guys flying around in 84 doesnt bother me.

Did you have an issue with Marko Mitchell wearing #84?

A number is a number, and as for Clark, he will always be remembered by those who followed the Skins back then and he will be ancient history or an object of folk lore to younger fans. Bottom line is the number is irrelevant. Gary and Chris both will be remembered by the ones who watched them play.

I was thinking that also, rather surprising to see his number re-issued so soon.

If they did not retire Joe Jacoby's #66, I doubt they will retire Samuels number.

I think they will definitely retire it but not right away -- like you said a few more years.
