00:01sonny styles a washington commander and as of today we know what number he's gonna wear
00:07welcome back grant and danny from gnats park where the gnats were home winners today you're
00:12listening to the fan so these numbers could all change and i've made this mistake many a time in
00:17fact there is a sean taylor number 37 jersey hanging in a closet somewhere at my house people
00:24would say why is he at 37 toby's telling me no he's not at 37 that's what he was at
00:29rookie
00:29minicamp that's what he was in his rookie off season he wore number 37 before he for one season
00:35wore number 36 and then eventually he wore number 21 how about that but if you bought a sean taylor
00:40jersey after they announced his jersey like they did today for sunny styles and going into rookie
00:46minicamp you bought a 37 sean taylor and that is something that's never gotten worn around my house
00:52very often but that having been said sunny styles today danny big development something you won't
00:56care about at all correct this one's for me and darris darris if you want to play our celebration
01:00sounds uh you're able to sunny styles is wearing a number in the 50s my friend darris and i have
01:06been talking about this behind the scenes for a couple of weeks there was a video where my beloved
01:10veteran former linebacker london fletcher and long time redskins great fred smoot we're trying to
01:17talk him into a single digit number sunny styles on one of the commander shows he did with them was
01:22like i want to be in the 50s like the old school guys and i'm like yes he gets it
01:25he's one of us
01:26one of us they're like no dude you got to go single digit you look so sleek it's awesome
01:31darris and i were petrified darris danny that this is going to happen why would it have been bad
01:35today he announced he'll be number 52 so cory raymer rocky mcintosh yeah move on over
01:46it's no longer jamin davis's number it is sunny styles number 52 he could maybe put a good legacy
01:53on that 52 i'm serious why would it have been bad if he was nine what what would i guess
01:58you can't
01:58be not we don't i mean what what bad would have happened if he was a regular single digit number
02:01he
02:02still has to play football right why would it have been bad because you're wearing a number they
02:05retired for sunny jergens yeah so nine was nine as i said not joking with you uh i get your
02:10point
02:10why is it bad because it looks awful because it shouldn't be allowed but because it's unesthetically
02:18not pleasing because it's annoying to watch darris have i missed anything what am i forgetting here
02:24about these single digit numbers out of position players wearing numbers they shouldn't there were rules
02:29in the nfl for years and years linebackers wear numbers between 40 and 59 for some dumb reason
02:37they decided to change it and act like they were college football all of a sudden that doesn't
02:42mean you have to abide by that change please stick to the original way that it was meant to be
02:4640 or 59
02:48as a linebacker not everything from the past is good okay i am that's fair yeah progress is a good
02:54thing being progressive in so many ways is a great benefit to society but daniel sometimes the way
03:00grandpa did it and the way dad did it is just fine linebackers look how good this looks sunny styles
03:0652
03:07you know what i did when i found out he was gonna wear number 52 i got my kid a
03:10sunny styles 52 now
03:12he's probably not gonna end up wearing 52 and it'll be a terrible purchase but that's how excited i was
03:16about that number change why why would a 30 look bad oh that'd be disgusting really 30 i think would
03:23still be illegal i think he's only allowed to do single digits or whatever but yeah 30 would be
03:28unacceptable it means you're not taking the gig seriously and uh you're not taking the job
03:32seriously yeah you're unprofessional you're an unserious person that's a bb or running back
03:36yeah very well said there's yeah well there i mean there's so many crossovers so for example
03:41guys in the 50s you already mentioned there's a cory raymer jersey that's at 52 but there's also
03:45there's also a linebacker so those guys look very different from each other they do what why is that
03:50fine why was that always fine yeah so o linemen can go between 50 and 79 yep they're allowed to
03:56do that
03:57right so if if somebody's 55 yes and you instantly want to know oh i know what position they are
04:03they could still be too like a fullback can be in the 40s could be right or a safety now
04:07let me be
04:08fullback or safety if you're an o lineman and you're in the 50s i'm not a big fan of that
04:11it's
04:11not my favorite you don't like it it's not my favorite guys do it often interior linemen you know
04:17typically centers but like a tackle in the 50s unacceptable there is no reason ever a tackle in
04:22the 50s is unacceptable it's just very rare i think darnell right with the bears might do it he
04:26looks like a goofball you gotta be in the 70s if you're a tackle who's taking your craft even
04:31remotely serious you can't be in the 60s here's how it should go tackle 70s guard 60s centers 50s you
04:36could do it that way i'm okay with that well if you're okay with yeah exactly right i have never
04:45for a single i know and i know you knew we were gonna do this and that's all well good
04:49i've never
04:51for a single microsecond had any emotion whatsoever about what jersey number guys wear based on position
04:59and i'm just trying to help get you there right and it'll never it'll never catch with me now wide
05:04receivers let's talk about wide receivers what about a flanker antonio williams is going to be
05:09wearing number 14 for the commanders that feels sexy to me so that's okay i would prefer a number
05:16in the 80s obviously he is a wide receiver after all yeah but even back to my childhood think
05:22keishon johnson wearing 19 sure a receiver has been allowed to be 10 to 19 or 80 to 89 because
05:33like if you're in the old school terminology of like a flanker or a split end right something like
05:37that those guys could wear single digits or teens right i guess that's possible and i don't i don't
05:43remember i know that there was a time where as a wide receiver you couldn't wear single digits
05:46and then that changed incorrectly and that's still a bother okay to just the aesthetics of
05:51watching the game so the 10 to 19 you're deshaun jackson uh being just into the barely into the
05:57double figures all the way up to keishon johnson at 19 um i don't know why i'm thinking of robert
06:02meacham i think was 17 well why wouldn't you be thinking of robert meacham it's very weird today's
06:06the day he's the guy that's getting into my head i think jaquez green were like 15 at one point
06:11some random guys are popping into my head but 14 for antonio williams plays for me
06:15don't you think that looks good check this out here uh again you can check out at grant paulson
06:19you want to see the images the commanders put out but that's a good looking 14 that's brad johnson
06:23that's durant brooks i don't know if you had to call him to see if it's okay to to wear
06:27to get
06:27permission specifically from legend former redskins great uh laminate zaccheus or that number as well
06:32too long ago yeah i think that plays he wants to be a man rossain brown in this offense for
06:36david blau johnson david ben blau johnson so you're going to be a rsb you might as well wear his
06:42number
06:42yeah ben johnson blau uh debo samuel wore one last year that body
06:49i would not have preferred that yes i mean is the receivers in the single digits is way less of
06:57a
06:57problem than an edge or a linebacker in the single digits dante fowler six no sunny style that's why
07:05they got rid of him i think they let him walk there was speculation about that i don't want to
07:10comment
07:10on it publicly right but i'll tell you after the show it's one of the things you heard it's very
07:13true um yeah they have a lot of teen digit receivers by the way you sleep on the fact that
07:20traylon burks
07:20was 13 last year i'm assuming he still is term of corn 17 but you're you're not hearing me the
07:25teens
07:26by the way i went robert meacham 17 think about that that was the first 17 that popped in well
07:30we
07:30couldn't guess john wall yesterday so we're we're in a weird place been a weird scuffle
07:33the teens is that is not a problem it's it's single digits where i get a little iffy that's
07:43where you're asking a lot for me you get a little olete uh ifiani number 26 by the way okay
07:49db as he should have been that's okay corners i don't need single digit corners i don't want
07:54single digit only in the 20s like mikey sandra still because he has the grandfathered in zero thing
07:59which is like you know kind of cool or whatever that's like a bit you're kind of doing a bit
08:06there with zero which is why i guess sunny styles can't do it but it's strange to me that for
08:11all
08:11of the things you care about that don't make any real impact on anyone's lives or like that are just
08:17this is something that's going to bother you because you're an old man that this doesn't make
08:22your list oh it never has definitely my oldest man thing yeah it never has i mean but you've got
08:26you've
08:26got a million of them with like people's haircuts and and their what they did with their hair what
08:31they said to the barber and why and what led them to that haircut what place they went to and
08:35all
08:36those kind of things i'm a curious person very curious and you're a detective but this number
08:40thing i the the only complaint i've heard that seems reasonable to me was from brady who was saying
08:48tom brady yeah it makes it tougher on the quarterback to discern who's where and who's lining up in
08:54different spots and to that i say so what they can't look at you and otherwise it's 15 yards
09:00you whiny sniveling uh called influencer pipe down take your medicine take one thing that goes uh not
09:08even really against you it's the smallest smallest fractional thing just don't throw it to the other
09:12team and he was pretty good at doing that or not doing that in that case i'm going to give
09:15you my
09:16grades on the numbers that were chosen go on for the given players that they i guess help the team
09:22choose for them um this will be like my version of the kevin sheehan mock schedule i'll just do this
09:27every year i'll give my grades on the new unit on the rookie numbers yes okay uh 52 for sunny
09:34styles
09:34that is an a plus plus you can't do any better than that antonio williams getting 14
09:43i'm going to give that a b i'm going to give that a b is that a little soft you
09:49want to you want in
09:50the 80s like 84 would make me happier but honestly just looking at him in 14 it feels right and
09:56i know
09:57they're trying to make fetch happen with this amon ross ain't brown comparison they think he's like a
10:01route running jesse and he's just gonna go out there and carve people up from the slot so let's let's
10:06lean
10:06into this a little bit i hope his dad was a weightlifter and his brother plays for the bears
10:10you know what i mean like let's i hope he speaks german um katron allen 31 i'm gonna go b
10:19minus on
10:20that what i like 31 i would have preferred a number oddly for him maybe in the 40s think like
10:30you know
10:30alfred morris was a 46 higher for a running back but when you're just a big bowling ball of a
10:36guy
10:36lower numbers into the 20s are normally my my speed merchants my scat backs low 30s like a bill can
10:43strike up a homer i'm i'm okay with 31 i think it works in a perfect world he is a
10:49he's like a tj duckett
10:51number he's like a 35 36 i look at him i see 36 36 yeah i okay didn't rock cartwright
10:58wear 31 is that a rock
11:00he wore two numbers he wore 31 and the other number 40 yeah also wore 40 which made sense because
11:07he played a little fullback you're into that fullback mold when you're in the fours right
11:13um joshua joseph's an edge 48 is the number that he got 48 this is an f oh yes this
11:22kid is officially
11:23an f that are you burying 48 is stephen davis a running back 48 is a fullback that helps plow
11:29the way
11:29on the edge i need you to be in the 90s 48 is chris horton the predator i have a
11:36jersey of chris
11:37horton a safety by the way 48 works for a safety in edge i need you wearing a number in
11:43the 90s i
11:43would even been okay with this is like wacky remember the old defensive ends like and dukeway
11:48kaloo were 72 bruce smith were 78 i'd rather him be like 78 than 48 i hate 40s numbers off
11:55the edge
11:56sorry i just do okay now what about again because i'm i i do learn something every time we have
12:02these
12:02kind of conversations and i'm always amazed what about a guy that is a linebacker but also blitzes
12:08a lot comes off the edge like yeah like what's okay for louvu i know you hate the fact that
12:13he's four
12:14but like yeah so it's like i think of a a hand hand in the dirt defensive end you want
12:19one thing
12:19do you want someone that blitzes a lot and kind of pressure like a tj watt what's okay for him
12:24yeah
12:2590s is great yeah but because louvu is an off-ball linebacker so much like what is essentially a
12:32defensive end yes he's just a stand-up guy who's an edge right that's a 90s we don't have to
12:36debate
12:36it we could just call it we just call that 90s louvu should be 54 jeremiah trotter you know he
12:41should
12:42be the single digit four my brother bought a louvu jersey i didn't support the purchase favorite player
12:48on the team at the time this was year one frankie louvu hit missile the fun frankie louvu assassin
12:53like great year frankie louvu and i still right now this moment heart and soul guy one of my top
12:58five favorite players on the team single digit linebacker can't support it can't do it gotta
13:02be that that should be like i think mid 50s for frankie okay would look really really good uh running
13:08hit linebacker like jordan mcgee's a 58 that feels good doesn't it that's great there you go
13:14matt gulbin the center 66 i'm gonna give that a b i would have i'm actually perfect like that's fine
13:26i would have been really a pig in mud with like 57 to 61 for him somewhere in that range
13:32okay but 66 is
13:33about as good as you're gonna do and then i've got the last one here athan kaliak manis the quarterback
13:4016 that's a c minus it's a c minus for me i'm gonna accept it single digits for athan would
13:51have
13:51been nice single digit as a quarterback uh if you're gonna go up to the the 10 range that's
13:55great like jayden the five car that's perfect um you can be in the teens obviously everyone from
14:01brad johnson sure sure it's been done yeah it happens to me athan kaliak manis probably even
14:06benefits from the two numbers underneath of the really long name it's just one number kind of
14:11looks like a t because the name is 19 letters and 14 syllables so 16 under that's going to help
14:16him
14:16with the jersey placement but i think in a perfect world i want him to be you know maybe like
14:23an eight
14:24there's also that's very otis number there's so few options of single digit numbers for the so let's
14:30because you can't do theisman seven right you can't do sunny nine you can't do mariotta has eight
14:37right jayden has five uh luvu has four so he just had what if we just correctly gave him a
14:43number in
14:43the 50s then that opens that up for kellyak manis no no no for frankie luva for luva and now
14:48he could
14:48be four uh who else what do you what else are we doing here i think that just leaves three
14:53and six
14:54if if memory serves so he would have had to chose three or six perfect both of them are perfect
14:59six
14:59i think when i think kellyak manis i think six interesting why
15:08there's going to be six quarterbacks that play before him this year there it is something like
15:11that uh or three third on the depth chart uh-huh something something in that ring i would do
15:16something like that overall let me hear your grades danny i'll go rapid fire here first sunny styles
15:22pass okay so this is pass fail grade yeah yep pass pass fail yeah i thought you were passing on
15:27answering no no pass okay they all pass what's actually also probably passing on answering um
15:32antonio williams so what he's a what number is he again 14 that's right pass okay katron allen 31 pass
15:41this one's tougher joshua josephs is a 48 yeah pass okay he chose the number that's a big deal
15:47matt gulbin so this one pass okay you know he wore 66 and then athan kalik manis got 16
15:55i'm actually not gonna lie to you pass
