49 Bobby Mitchell, RB, 1962–68
51 Monte Coleman, LB, 1979–94
65 Dave Butz, DT, 1975–88
70 Sam Huff, LB, 1964-69 (worn by Leonard Marshall in 1994)
81 Art Monk, WR, 1980–93

I feel that 9, 28, 81, 21, should be left alone or retired the rest pass them out. No disrespect, Dallas hands 88 out almost every year its available.

When Spurrier was coach didn't Shane Matthews wear #9 as our QB?

It was 6 it only looked like 9 our OL couldn't stop anybody then either.

During training camp Matthews wore #9 and Wuerffel wore #7

[SmootSmack]

Isn't 67 available?

[MTK]

I think every number should be allowed to be worn, except for the only officially retired number of course, #33. This whole thing with unofficially retiring numbers is getting silly. It should be officially retired or in active circulation, no in between. There are plenty of ways to honor players, put their name in the ring of honor and move on.

yup.
add 81 and 28 and maybe a couple others and then be done with it.

So right now we have...

#11 Thomas
#12 Kelly
#13 Armstrong
#18 Austin
#19 Wade
#83 Hagans
#84 Galloway
#87 R.Williams
#89 Moss

They should have gave Hagans #17. That way we would have had an 11,12,13, then 17, 18, 19. Then made Galloway #88 so we would have had 87, 88, and 89.

I'd guess Darryl Clark will wear his PSU #17.

Ok, maybe I need some clarification. When you first came to the board I thought you were a Raiders fan inquiring about JC. Then you came up with this "what do Skins fans think is good and bad about JC" thread. I got the impression the info would be used to enlighten Raider fans on their boards. I then see it was somewhat nicely done as if a professional writer had simply wrote an article.

So nows the big question... are you trying to become an independant writer and get your articles published in places like SI, ESPN, NFL.com, etc. etc. or are you simply a Raider fan? I'm kinda confused. I mean if you a beat writer or trying I guess I can understand why your hanging out collecting info from board members and using it in articles, or are you simply trying to start your own web page and trying to get as many people to click on your site as possible in order to get paid?

for the record:

lifelong Redskins fan... see the "explaing your screen name" thread if you're curious.

freelance writer.

i'm not delusional enough to think i'm just going to magically land a gig with SI/ESPN/NFL. i get paid a flat fee per article for what i do over at RF365, it's not my website. it's an embarassingly low rate, so dont ask. but sadly most websites pay zero.

they have asked me to write about the Raiders cuz they have some built-in syndication with a big raiders site and they need the content. i write about the redskins out of interest and have been asked to concentrate on them in order to build my readership. during the season i do weekly a weekly "picks" column picking games against the spread and have also written about the Ravens (i live in that market) and the Steelers (my wife is a fan and they have a large national following).

also, i dont only come here for shameless self promotion, i also participate in lots of the threads and so far found this to be the best (or my favorite) skins message board.

Ok, I've been having a heck of a time trying to get a name or two. I have been watching "Redskins Nation", well more like suffering through it but I do get to see video of the players practicing. In watching the camp footage they focused on the WR's at one point and there was a really, really, really small WR who ran a curl route. He looked crisp, fast and fluid. The footage was on Fri night in regards to Fridays camp during the second camp.

Then while watching last night I noticed about 4 really short WR's. I have figured out two but I'm missing two

13- Anthony Armstrong
18- Terrence Austin
15- ?
20- ?

I think #20 is who I observed in the video. I know 15 is supposed to be C.Brennan, and 20 is supposed to be Justin Tryon, but the video was definitly WR's with the QB's throwing to them so I know it must be invites who were given numbers to wear.

Ok, it's odd one quotes himself but I found out who #20 was....Brandon Banks at 5-7, 150lbs. I told you guys who ever it was was short. His drills seemed fast and crisp. I guess we'll see during camp.

Personally, I hope the league never gets rid of number restrictions. I HATE the fact that wideouts can now be in the teens. If we ever reach the day where a defensive linemen can be in the 20's and a kicker could have #99 I think my head would explode.
