The Washington Redskins announced the numbers that 10 players they added this offseason will wear on their jerseys for the coming year.

Linebacker Darryl Tapp will wear No. 54, quarterback Pat White will wear No. 5, cornerback E.J. Biggers will wear No. 30, offensive tackle Jeremy Trueblood has been given No. 69 and fellow tackle Tony Pashos No. 77.

Defensive lineman Ron Brace will wear No. 97, defensive end Phillip Merling will wear No. 93, defensive back Korey Lindsey will wear No. 22, linebacker Ricky Elmore will wear No. 51, and defensive back Devin Holland will wear No. 34.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

30 is kind of a weird number for a corner

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

ANOTHER bust QB wearing #5? Please keep any Redskins QB wearing #5 away from the field. It's an unlucky number for us.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

when did we sign merling? i remember a lot of people here wanting him and tapp when they were coming out... I guess they can be happy now?

We signed Merling back in January if I recall correctly, one of our first signings

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

those could turn out to be two interesting additions IMO, tapp and merling

Tapp could be a nice rotation guy on 3rd downs rushing the passer from the OLB spot.

Merling is probably on his last shot so if he's motivated to get his career on track he could definitely be interesting.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

thats what i was thinking, if he is motivated and has the same feeling we do that this may be one of his last shots then it could turn out to be a very clever addition

I'm thinking White won't make it past pre-season. I'm not even sure why we brought him in. 4 QBs? Ain't nobody got time for that.

They brought him in to emulate RGIII and run the read option stuff in practice.

So practice squad fodder. That's okay.

[quote=DynamiteRave;1003798]So practice squad fodder. That's okay.[/quote]

Most likely yeah. Still important to help keep everyone up to speed with what RGIII does.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

[quote=DynamiteRave;1003798]So practice squad fodder. That's okay.[/quote]

Not even that. I doubt White will even be considered for PS. He's somebody who can run to fill in until RGIII can run and practice. Rex or Kirk can't run the option. White is at least a decent knockoff of Griffin style-wise.

When Robert is back, Pat can go back to working on his lawsuit.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

And that is why we need to draft Denard Robinson.

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

What's the over under for primetime games with the schedule release tonight? I'm going with 3 only because of the RGIII uncertainty.

I think home vs. Dallas will be a Sunday night game, us going to Denver will be a Thursday night game and maybe us in Atlanta will be a Monday night game. SF, GB, NYG and maybe Chicago are the other primetime options for us.

I say 1 Monday night game, 1 Thursday night, 1 Sunday night.

2 Mondays, 1 Thursday or Sunday...that's the plan at least

Isn't the schedule show tonight?

I'd def say we will play Dallas primetime, and possibly Denver. Hopefully those r both MNF games

Maybe even more than 2-3 because everyone wants to watch RG3

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

Hate to sound like a punk, but primetime Skins games are just meh with me. Rather see them play Sundays during the day.

I'm actually with u on that, I like a couple PT games but I love getting my Sunday fix on with the skins

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

man, i read a few articles on the post' site and talking with all you here and i am flat out salivating... i cannot wait to see where this team is headed this season.. my level of excitement for the draft is marginal given our pick situation but i have full confidence in our FO to continue making solid decisions... recovering injured players returning to the line up, some rookies, and a systematic, ever changing and improving football team in Washington has really gotten me fired up

Re: Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois
 

Well SI is reporting that the raven and broncos are playing on Sunday night football. So I can tell you the redskins aren't playing on Sunday night football the first game of the season. A twitter rumor has said that the skins could play Philly on Monday night football.

I thought the league already said the Ravens were going to play Thursday, regardless.

According to Adam Carriker, Skins vs Eagles to open.

Well, you know, none of that is official until our resident twitter-feed insider gets the scoop.

Yeah, we need his approval.

Just checked the SI site for, you know, a link so I could read the story. I didn't see it. Can you provide the link so I can read what they are reporting about the opening week and compare it to the veracity LaCanfora's twitter statement as reported here:

I love that ESPN did away with it.

He was probably referring to this one which is on the SI front page links:

Can't they just have Hank Williams Jr. do all of them? At least his MNF intro got you hyped up. Faith's just sounds like she's about to strip while football plays in the background.
