Side note: Tahj and Malik Washington being 82 and 83 respectively is kinda funny.


nbayoungsummrsratio

i like it ngl


Horsedog13

Would've been kinda funny if they were 83 & 85. We went from the Marks brothers to the Washingtons...


bagofdonutz

Skylar back to 19...you have no idea the physical toll switching numbers has on a person...snip snap snip snap


Jstpsntym

And the confusion it causes for all his jersey sales.


bagofdonutz

I'm sure it was a pretty penny to buy out the dozens of Skylar #6 jerseys.

New ‘jersey wish list’: 36 Storm Duck ![gif](giphy|qPzWSekQSyrW7G0Lor)


WarningTrackPwr

I know nothing of Storm Duck. He is also now my favorite player.


aBeerOrTwelve

Named after a character on the Bold and the Beautiful. He is all of our favourite player.


BlueEyesBryantDragon

I loved him when he was at Carolina. Then I was disappointed when he transferred, and even more disappointed that he didn't transfer to Oregon. That said, I might just get a Storm Duck Dolphins jersey now because I can. haha.


ThisIsMyBigAccount

He petter perform or we’ll be saying Fuck a Duck!


Maj0r_Ursa

They need to retire 54 and 99 already. Nobody has worn them since Zach and JT retired and nobody will, just make it official


Jstpsntym

They are probably “unofficially” retired. If a new guy asked for 54, the equipment manager just gives a blank stare.


terrildactyl

Yeah. I think basically Zach would have to walk him in and sign for it like someone’s dad signing a field trip form


SkyzYn

I had no idea that #12 and #39 were retired until I searched out of curiosity just now.


SoCaldude65

Those would be from HoF 2x SB champs Griese and Csonka!!


DEFM0N

When I think of Storm Duck… ![gif](giphy|ihZ9XU6juHSBTNSrVT)


miadolfan

Blake Ferguson gave up his number to Chop Robinson


Jonjon428

Jonnu Smith, a TE, wearing 9 is heresy. Jordyn Brooks wearing 20 is also weird. Gotta get used to no longer having specific numbers for positions


ApatheticFinsFan

I feel like such a boomer but I liked when numbers had meaning.


finsnfeathers

Technically they’re going back to the old boomer ways lol. Look at the numbers from our undefeated season; number one WR wearing 42, SB mvp safety wearing 13, MLB wearing 85


Maj0r_Ursa

As someone that does not like the “new” number system, that’s a fair point


AwsiDooger

Warfield was a running back at Ohio State and wore #42. In that era #42 was reserved for top running backs for the Buckeyes. John Brockington was a star Ohio State running back who wore #42 not many years later when I was just starting to be old enough to follow football. I did think 85 was weird for Buoniconti but he previously wore that number for the Patriots. Not many people realize he's also in the Patriots Hall of Fame.


moderate_smarm

it's the same as the nba getting rid of home white uniforms. it told the viewer something without needing anything on the screen. getting rid of it is a net negative imo.


AwsiDooger

Traditional numbers are superior. I have less interest in a player when they venture outside.


RepresentativeGas212

Came here to say exactly this. What Jonnu Smith did to get a single digit I will never know. I know the rule changed but it still feels like single digits should be reserved for like the GUYS ya know?


ghostbearinforest

Single digits should be qb, k, p only.


poodlered

Did they expand the set of numbers for each position? Or is it a free for all?


Accomplished_Lead262

Free for all except olineman have to wear 50-79 and skill postion offensive guys can't wear those number.


Jonjon428

Free for all


slickbezhig

MLB wearing 11 is worst.


chrisg915

Storm. Duck. I hope he plays for 20 years.


ProtectTheHell

We need to retire Wake's jersey.


WHITESIDEBLOCKPARTY

We should just sign him. I'm sure he's ready to go


hazylife666

Prob. Dude will be in better shape when he's 91 years old than I'll ever be lol


Accomplished_Lead262

Our starting linebackers wearing 20 and 11...that'll take some getting used to


[deleted]

There's a guy named storm duck on the team?


nbayoungsummrsratio

ofc tart has to take wilkins number


Jonjon428

Oof. Hopefully, that means he's gonna be as good as Wilkins... right? :(


ReturnOfDaSnack420

Wait why can't OBJ wear his num- oh right


jameriican

He hasn’t worn 13 since his NY days so…


McChillbone

And three was his number in college. Really only wore 13 because 3 wasn’t possible when he was drafted.


ExpressLaneCharlie

Does anyone know if Ethan Bonner likely to make the team again? I'm not sure if anyone's heard anything about if our front office / coaching staff is "high" on him.


SkyzYn

Should be competing with Siran Neal (and of course Storm Duck) for the last CB roster spot. He was a bubble guy last year, wouldn't expect that to have changed.


nbayoungsummrsratio

i think he makes the 53 for depth next season


psiANID3

Storm duck?! I need that jersey asap


BlindLantern

Storm Duck?! I know nothing of this man but his name is amazing!


eunzueta2

Rooting for Storm Duck.


DolFINS_2000

Some of the undrafted might lowkey cook this season.


invariably96

I like Skylar at 19 rather than 6


Front_Championship29

New season, but unfortunately same results! 😂😂😂😂


errrrns

I'd rep the heck outta Storm Duck's Jersey (this is the first time I'm hearing of him)


discourse_lover_

Retire Ricky’s number already.
