Van Brocklin left the Rams after the 1957 season, when they still had white pants. They didn't add yellow pants until 1973. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he’s technically listed as “EDGE” so that kinda falls into DE territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the base defense the team runs. In a 4-3, EDGE is the DE position. In a 3-4, it's the OLB. But his size (6'5", 266 lb) would lean toward large OLB or a small DE. So in a way, EDGE may be a better way to describe Clowney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowney to me is a classic 3-4 OLB, minus a small amount of lateral agility but with more acceleration and strength. He’s faster than most 4-3 ends. He has been both in his career, and I believe was exclusively an end in college. So, who knows? Side note: I miss the OLBs who could play in either a 3-4 or a 4-3, and who were versatile enough to rush the passer, stop the run, set the edge, OR drop into coverage. Guys whose role the offense couldn’t predict on a given play. Somebody like Seth Joyner or Donnie Edwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Whatever the case, seeing any edge rusher, DL, LB, or hybrid, wearing #24 is wild as heck. 4 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since those players have special protection, they should have their own set. I also want to applaud @HOOVER's number set. But I'd suggest taking @rfraser85's idea here a step further: QBs should be allowed 1-19 but punters and kickers should be limited to single digits. There are fewer of them on a team so they should have the narrowest range of choices. (I'm also intrigued by @BBTV's notion that K's and P's don't need numbers at all, or should be outfitted differently. Makes a ton of sense. ) Regardless, and I've said this before, but keeping position-restricted jersey numbers is a necessity. It gives position groups an identity and adds order to chaos. Allowing a jersey number free-for-all is an assault on the visual history of the NFL. Allow the exceptions over time -- John Hadl, Jim Jensen, etc. -- to remain quirky anomalies.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, how would you change the K's and P's uniforms? I could see a gray version of the white jersey, but I don't know what you would do for the color jersey(s). I'm not sure that's a good idea, though. I know goalies in soccer have a separate jersey, but goalies in hockey don't. Also, Nike is having enough trouble making good jerseys already. I feel like this would make it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @BBTV suggested making them more like soccer goalies: a standard design in a non-team color. I wouldn't have any issue with that. In addition to benefiting the issue of number circulation, it has an on-field function. They are fundamentally a different type of player than everyone else on the field, and there's never more than one of them on the field at a time.

We've seen countless posts on sites like this complaining about players doing something non-standard with their uniforms. While this may serve a function, it also risks opening Pandora's box for other changes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henburg Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 30 minutes ago, coborjobs2010 said: Honestly, this looks fine. Will need to see the jersey striping better and the likely stripe-less pants will be a donwgrade, but the number font looks pretty cool and it still really resembles the current well-liked road uniform. That said, I could also easily see this being the most tame of the upcoming set. There are supposed to be 4 unique designs, right? This would likely check the "Toro" look off the list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
