So maybe D Green should announce every pick lolol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilberMarshall Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Have this video on a loop. Playing over and over again... and each time, it stirs deep emotions in me. Thought my fandom had died. But I realized that I was just trying to isolate myself from the pain and heartache. Like Oliver Twist, I want some more of this type of feeling... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a great time, congrads to the Man on the Island who always covered the other team best W.R. on either side of the field. Would love to have been there.....very cool.

psu2008 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 About time! Glad my favorite player is getting officially honored! I think the only numbers left to do are 44, 81 and 68. Anything more is overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithabbott Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Anyone know if the retirement announcement of Darrell Green's number has any possible bearing on his involvement in the team this year? Just wondering if there's been any discussion having him mentor Emmanuel Forbes. I know Darrell mentioned that he could help him in just 10 minutes.

I wish we had a time machine of some sort that would enable him to be on our current team today and in his prime. That would be an enormous addition to this defense. And while we;re at it, Sean Taylor too, may he RIP. If the defense we have right now had those two added to it, sheesh...I don't even want to think about what opposing teams would have to contend with.

DazedSkinsfan Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) All I can say about this is it's well deserved and about damn time!!!! Also while we're at it can we PLEASE get Jacoby in the HOF???

Rufus T Firefly Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Have they retired 9 yet? It would seem like, with Sonny's age, this would have been the first one on the list. Congrats to DG though. Well deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgensen being on the list signals to me that at some point, Riggins number will be retired, and as you said about the age thing, I'm hoping it happens sometime soon.

I don't think there is any question Riggo gets retired. He's old, but not that old. My worry with Sonny was, if you wait even a year, he might not be around to enjoy it. Would have seemed like a bad gamble to take to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFK Lives Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I love Riggo and I guess given the NFL no longer restricts the numbers by position and the fact the NFL rarely utilizes a fullback, you could retire 44 and 81. Honestly, I feel like those are the only numbers worth considering. They are already in the ring. we have to remember what retiring means, nobody will wear that number again, you need at least 69 numbers, although only 48 active on game day, 53 on roster, 16 on practice squad. So, even with Riggo and Monk, you got 92 numbers left to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league could say as long as two players with the same number could be on a team as long as they're on the field at the same time. Honor them in a ring of honor like the organization has done. Maybe the new owners could create a team museum/hall of fame to honor the folks who would have traditionally had numbers retired and other team legends. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I should also add, our organization has many numbers they've taken out of circulation, mainly those in the ring of honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retiring numbers is awesome, and should be regarded as the absolute greatest and rarest honor. It should be done far less. Imo we should only have Baugh and Green retired, but whatever. Sonny and Riggo would not qualify for me. Or Mitchell. I know people are understandably touchy about it, but not ST either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 they gave these out at the draft party Saturday I imagine they'd give them out again when his number is retired at the game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
