#82 -- Who?

[OldhamA]

No. There are are a range of numbers you can wear for different positions. Arcane rule but it's still in place.

Wait, there are rules about what number you can wear?

I thought they just let anyone wear whatever number they wanted these days.

Does Justice come back next year? OL won’t be so bad with Rivers and him in there replacing Donaldson and Williams.

I think he's crazy if he doesn't come back.

Honestly, I thought he played better than Navaughn.

Justice is good looking athlete on the OL.

If it was Justice, maybe his dog ate his original jersey, hence the no name alternative.

 

[Swampcity]

It was Justice Oluwussen or whatever his last name is. Not sure why he was wearing that number though

He lined up every snap on the end of the line. He was not playing Tackle so he needed a non OLine number.

 

[Canes Stan]

He was moving mfs on the first Knighton TD

Ahh makes sense

 

[frostycane]

Yeah I assume they did it so he wouldn’t have to announce himself as eligible. Or is that just an NFL rule?

 

[fraggle]

With the rain and mud is it possible he just needed a dryer jersey? There is no number 82 listed on our roster.

No the reason is because it makes him an eligible receiver if he’s in at te. He’s likely wearing a tear away jersey overtop of his regular jersey. There were times last year where Harley (I believe) was returning kicks with a Velcro jersey over top of his so that he and frierson could be on the field together.

This is general a good rule of thumb but it’s definitely not set in stone. They even changed that in the NFL this year

No but it's close

That’s not correct anymore. Hasn't been the case in college football for decades.

Waaaayyy outdated in college AND to a lesser degree in the pros.

Sure but the point is there are still number rules and that's why Justice was wearing an unnamed #82 jersey to get some snaps at TE. Do we still really need to keep debating this?

 

[Confidence1000]

Why would an OL need to wear a no-name jersey? Aren't those only for when there are duplicate numbers on the field?

Yes

Reviewed the game and paid attention to number 82, he played most of the game and was blocking like crazy. Wish we knew for sure who he is and based on what I saw he should've been graded by PFF as one of our best performers.

 

[troyskiles]

I think he is our next punter. That is what I am told by some Sauces.

Nope, but he still did a **** of job in there.
