Sorry, but if he is going to ball out like this every week, I am going to need Pete Werner to change his number to something in the 50s (1 Viewer)

That's it. That's the thread.

I'm not a fan of the new number rule either. its tacky and unorganized.

Yep...looks very amateurish. Also, as a long time NFL observer, it makes it extremely difficult to differentiate positions on the field, particularly on defense. Guess we will just have to learn to get used to it though.

Someone said in another thread that the 6'3" 240lb. Werner was small. I think it's the number 20 playing tricks on the members mind, because he isn't small.

I thought he was corner until I realized who he was. Lol
I didn't know he was listed at 6'3

I know I kept saying, Who and what is No. 20? I admittedly don't know the roster AT ALL (I had the entire 2009 roster memorized at the time), but it was really throwing me off.

I love it! Keep the 20 all day!

He’s out there lookin like the biggest defensive back in the league. I hate the new number thing.

I'm not a fan of the new number system. But as long as they have it, I doubt he's going to change numbers. It's the same number he had in college.

It didn’t even hit me that he was a LB until this thread.

 

[Pkessling]

First time he started, I was like who is this new safety. He is a tackling machine.

Why doesn't this bother people as much in college football where a defensive end can be number 5? Much ado about nothing IMO.

We're gonna take our cues from college where they sometimes have duplicate numbers for 2 different players?

Was wondering the same thing myself. Guess it is just what's expected when watching the NFL game. Almost as if some of our minds are trained that a strict numbering system = professionalism. Weird, I know.

He’s more like 6’2 235

DD is 6’3 248-ish and looks way bigger than Werner. Can’t say that Werner is 6’3 but he could be closer to 240?!?!
Personally I think the 20 looks good on Werner. Either way, as long as a player can make plays then I don’t care if he is 200lbs soaking wet
