One thing that I haven't seen addressed since it was brought up during the official name change press conference is what they are planning to do with Bobby Phills' jersey. At that presser they sounded adamant that that was a priority and were in communication with the Phills family.

I would love to walk in and see 13 already hanging from the rafters but it seems like we would have heard about it going up by now or a re-raising ceremony of some sort.

They announced on Facebook that his jersey will be raised at halftime on November 1st against Memphis.

Wednesday is about celebrating the inaugural team so it's understandable that they would wait on Bobby's ceremony. It deserves it's own ceremony.

The attendance banner can stay under wraps.

Are you insinuating they shouldn't even hang it?

Hopefully it's already hanging when they open the doors Wednesday and unveiled at some point.

I think they could put it up around the concourse somewhere as it has historical significance but I wouldn't hang it.

Only banners should be retired numbers and championships won on the floor but to each his own.

who really cares about the attendence banner. all it shows is people came out to watch a game 20 years ago. not something I would really want to hang my hat on.

I disagree. Of course in the big picture it means nothing but to lead the league that many consecutive years is pretty cool

      Highest rate of incompletions due to WR error

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      I never needed stats to tell me how a player is doing. I watch every snap and if they have more bad plays than good plays that is all I need to see. Young has more bad than he has good, by a wide margin.  He was going to need to overcome an overwhelming size disadvantage coming into the league. He had to lead a dysfunctional, talentless team and turn it around. He had no chance and somehow the FO overlooked all of that. The fact that the odds of it being remotely successful were 1000:1 is all the reason you need. Tepper made his fortune taking gambles like this but that is in finance, you don't do that in football.

      This Bryce Film is Rough...

      By Silent Majority · Posted

      Ty for posting this. People who have been paying attention can see Canales' fingerprints all over Bryce this season. Last season Bryce would be 15 yards deep at the top of his drop. This game he was a consistent 7-10 yards. The big takeaway for me is that DC seems to have simplified the game for Bryce. I noticed that BY9 only operated one half of the field. When the ball is on the outside hash (short side), his game is geared more to the boundary. Multiple patterns and deep outside shots. When the ball is placed on the inside hash (wide side), it's virtually all in-breaking or smoke routes and\or deep shots. Most of his over the middle passes are executed from a deep drop. I really do not think he can see the field. I think DC has tried to mitigate it as best he can, but there simply are physical limitations that cannot be ignored in this league. I do not think he can execute fully, DC's offense. I think DC is frustrated and damn near over the BY9 era.

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      If the other guy didn't try to have someone murdered, Xavier Legette would easily be the worst draft pick this franchise has ever spent on a WR.
