Just want to wish my little nephew all the best, in his newest challenge. He has hands, a football mind, and the soul of a poet. He's played in the cold, and has the heart of a lion. Looking forward to wearing big blue, baby!!!

if he's good, nickname might be

the wallet.

That's what you go to - when you need the money.

That's odd... I typically find dust and the occasional moth when I open my wallet... especially when it's my turn to pay

Or the people who conveniently forget their wallet when you go for lunch.  I swear this is a prerequisite at my company. 

As far as I can remember the last guy to wear that number was Brock Ralph, I think this number selection was poor.

If he wears a cool visor he may be a great pickup.

Any other takes on this?

Brett Carter wore 80

That's a whole lot of energy going into debating the "proper" # selection. I'd be a whole lot more concerned at how my team looked against the Stampeders. Didn't see a whole lot of positives, outside of #23.  Drew used to wear #82, but apparently someone , inactive(don't quote me on that), has already laid claim to the digits. Here's to #80 lighting up those CFL defensive backfields...Especially the hated Rider one, and of course , Tranna's.

My apologies. It's just the name Brock Ralph that gets to me.

**shudder**

How dare Drew wear the sacred Nik Antropov #80.

The cosmonaut?

I thought he wore   #8.

I think I've told my first Jets jersey story on here enough over the years, but suffice to say, I've got an in depth memory of Jets 2.0 #8 history. 

Burmi wore it year 1 and 2. Trouba took it year 3, 2013/14. And he'll wear it until his contract expires in 2025.

(yes, I'm an optimist)

Down the road, if they want to activate him, where does this kid fit on the 44?

He would be one of 21 game-activated Nats.

If you look at the Wpg vs Stamps Depth Chart I guess he goes in for Coates?

And then they could rotate him through various receiver positions depending on formation.

Might give the club options on O such as using Flanders ...

Just tell him to tell the team he's rethought things, and has his heart set on wearing 85, so if they could put him in 85 it would be great.

Don't do that. Stegall is a god

I think it's unofficially retired.

I'm not expecting much from Wolitarsky....but when does he start rippin it up lol...We need a hit of enthusiasm after that last stinker at home, and I don't care what no. he wears

It'll take some serious injuries for this guy to see anything but PR this season. He'll have to earn a spot on kick cover teams first, and if he excels there, he might see time on O next year....

Exactly I was trying to change the subject from the loss, I've come to the conclusion I'm ok with the selection as long as he wears a tinted visor.

I can see him taking Coates spot this year if he comes as advertised.

 

If Washington doesn't perform in the next couple games, I'd really start looking at two NI REC - JFG and Wolitarsky 

Then again, we have no LBs to replace Hurl anyway...
