Just so no one is confused next Sunday - which is bound to happen regardless - Two players have changed their numbers for week 1. Mike Gillislee is now #23 Jelani Jenkins is now #53 http://www.thefinsiders.com/blog/2013/uniform-number-updates-for-2013 Note, De'Andre Presley switched to #31 on the practice squad. He was #23 before.
I'll have to follow more closely. Regardless, you know on Sunday at this time, someone in the game thread is going to be going, "Who is #23? Why is De'Andre Presley playing offense?".
Number of over/under "Hey look, Ronnie Brown is back on the team" comments this gonna get on gameday?
Just listening to Philbin's presser right now. The team is releasing an updated "Depth Chart" later this afternoon; I'm guessing actual starters will be confirmed. Someone did mention they saw Lamar Miller working with the 1's and asked if he's the starter, prompting Philbin's answer.
It's weird too, I thought we let go of Reggie Bush, I even saw him playing for the Lions in preseason. But it turns out he's playing cornerback for us, still.
Someone was asking about Randy Starks being listed ahead of Jared Odrick and before Philbin could answer, Harvey Greene jumped in and said it's because Starks' #94 comes before Odrick's #98. They listed them numerically, for what it's worth. I'm guessing we'll see some minor changes on this updated Depth Chart this afternoon. I imagine one of them is probably reversing those two. They also already adjusted Cameron Wake to LDE and Olivier Vernon to RDE. MrClean can come off the ledge now.
Gilly gets his old college number back No 23 Jenkins had number 3 in college, not a number used in the NFL for LBs ergo he chose number 53.
