Re: Thoughts after minicamp?

It's a minor point, and probably not one that many people care about, but I noticed that Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas were wearing jersey numbers 11 and 12. Maybe those are strictly mini-camp numbers, and will change to a number in the eighties once the season begins. But I also saw that Fred Davis had #86.

I've never been a fan of wideouts who choose a jersey number outside of 80-89. Weird, I know. I guess I have OCD with that kind of thing. The NFL did make an official change recently to allow WRs to wear numbers between 11-19 if all the eighties numbers were taken up. With more and more tight ends on rosters these days, that was apparently becoming a problem enough for the league to change its policy. I just wish they moved the tight ends out and put them in the 40's or something, like Cooley.

Oh well. Guess I'll have to get over it. Because it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon.

I actually agree with you, but assume this was the players' choice since 84 and 85 (the numbers they held up at the pressers) were open. Technically, tight ends can move to 40-49 if the 80's are taken just as receivers can go to 11-19.

Actually, since 2004 WR's can opt to go with a number in the teens even if there are numbers in the 80's still available. NFL Rules Changes for the 2004 NFL Season

For me there just seems to be something special about those guys coming into the league wearing 11 and 12. I hope they stick with them personally.

Davis 48
and Kelly 51

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

Malcolm Kelly, in an interview witrh Larry Michael on Redskins Radio last week made reference to the fact he did not like numbers in the 80's, so it could be he will continue to wear #12. Personally I dont care what number he wears, long as he's productive.

Was great to see the attendance for OTA's was good, the guys apeared to be excited and enthused about getting their work in. The team has worked hard this off-season, and hope their efforts will pay off when the season starts. The good part about the new offense is that they're all on the same level at this point learning together.
