Canadian Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Sorry if this has been answered but what is the rule for positional jersey numbers? Would Dareus be able to wear his #57 while being a DL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 He could wrestle Danny Batten for #57...or have a pie eating contest. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I don't think DL can wear numbers in the 50's, can they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 He is going to be #99. He told Jim Lang and Gord Stellick this morning that's what he wants, and I believe the number is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I never liked the look of 99. I was hoping he would reverse his numbers and wear 75. It’s so beautifully ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Sorry if this has been answered but what is the rule for positional jersey numbers? Would Dareus be able to wear his #57 while being a DL? Don't think so, those numbers are for OL and LB, 99 would be perfect. He is going to be #99.

Aloha22 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 99 99 times out of 100, Dareus gonna eat you up! Dolphs and Pats both go OL Tey're gonna need help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I never liked the look of 99. I was hoping he would reverse his numbers and wear 75. It's so beautifully ugly. Many longtime NFL observers consider Deacon Jones to be the best pass rusher ever…and the prototype pass rushing defensive end. For his era, Jones made the number 75 iconic of a great pass rusher…much like Bruce did with 78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 97 is going to Marvin Austin, Marvin Austin is an outstanding football player…not unlike Corey Liuget who was taken at #18…Austin is a super bargain at this point. I don't see him in the Bills plans but he's one of the top talents left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Nice! I always liked 99 on a big D-lineman. Dareus will definitely be in the mix when it comes time for me to get a new jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was hoping for 78. But with 99 he can carry on the tradition of the great Gabe Northern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him in the Bills plans but he's one of the top talents left. I think he could be a good addition, jsut unlikely. NE has him graded out as a NG FWIW (see that other thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kabnt2005 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Yup #99 for Dareus. It was pretty cool, I got to have his locker name plate sitting in front of me Friday morning. Knew before anyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedGame Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Can we petition the NFL to let Jasper where a triple digit jersey number? When you weigh in at a smidge over 400, I think you deserve a perk. Like a free meal if you eat the 96oz. steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
