9 of 10 are on D. Looks like Buford might make the start at corner opposite Tommi.

I came to post this same pic @inWV , thanks. The reason I was going to post it was so I could say....

Would you just take a look at Ty Robinson! I mean, TAKE A LOOK AT HIM! Just a massive human being.

Not in games but they are eligible for this

Piper earned one last year

Apparently the team felt no OL earned it this offseason

Exciting to see a newcomer like Banks earn it
You'd think a RB, TE, hell even HH might be in the running....

Anyway, it's pretty gimmicky to start with. It's a nothing burger.

I do believe the coaching staff has some influence, whether they admit it or not (Sims? All credibility gone)

Two of the guys on this list were called out by name as not living up to the standard during the public practice (butler, Ty)

I think it’s stupid, but whatever. At least we’re within striking distance of the season!

The thing that's striking is the size difference between Buford/Hartzog and Hill/Singleton.

I guess I'd like to see any of those single digits guys bumped back to their previous number if they have a subpar game. Make them re-earn it. Just like when they used to temporarily take away a guy's Blackshirt.

I, for one, hated treating blackshirts as something to earn. The tradition was to award them to the defensive starters. That's it. If you're a starter, you've earned it. Not playing like a starter? Demote them. Also, I will go on record of not being a fan of awarding single digits. More gimmicks. Changing your number every year is like changing schools every year.
