Reggie Bush to wear #8?

[etsudolfan]

Its not that important, but I came across this when I was looking at our roster. They have Reggie Bush wearing #8. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but RB's can only wear 20's-40's right? Does anyone know if there was a change to that with the new CBA?

His number will change. The new CBA didn't change number rules, plus Will Allen is wearing Reggie's old number (#25)

He's probably deciding what number to take.

Or its a hidden message to another #8 (Orton) to get his butt to Miami

Yeah that makes sense. I'm guessing that have to put him down for a number before the season starts

When we cut Will Allen, he'll wear 25.

Unlikely Allen gets cut if Sean Smith still is a cardboard cutout out there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they changed that number rule awhile ago?

This, everybody, is a post from someone who does not know of what he speaks.

Excuse you?

Prove me wrong that Sean Smith wasn't a liability last year.

I think you are mistaking CB with FS.

 

[Adam First]

Last time I checked Allen and Smith are still corners, unless there was a position change I wasn't made aware of.

I meant that the safety play was the liability and not corner play.

You are definitely way off . . . Sean Smith was one of the best CB's in the league last year in coverage . . . where he was a liability is because he couldn't haul in any of the easy INT opportunities he had, and in that case, yea he cost us a few times.

It is a fair argument that Sean Smith was as good as Vontae in coverage . . . and now he can tackle also . . . if Smith gets over his dropped INT issues . . . he and Davis could take a Madison/Surtain leap this year.

The safety play wasn't even a real liability last year . . . not like in 2009. The defense as a whole wasn't bad . . . 6th overall isn't bad . . . actually #3 overall before they laid an egg against New England in week 17.
