Meh, I am not really optimistic for the Rams this year. They have made some moves, but still. Kinda tough schedule if I remember correctly.

I dunno there's nothing really wrong with the Rams offence, Linehan should be able to balance it a bit more and if Jackson can get some consistency in his game he could be enormous this year. Plus Haslett should tighten up the defence a bit, Witherspoon was a great pickup.

I bet Raonall Smith does better than Will Witherspoon if he gets enough playing time and stays healthy.

Scott Linehan is a freaking genius. What he did in Minnesota, and what happened after he left should show you. Or where Miami was two years ago, then what happened when he came in last year -- for one season -- and made them a top-rated offense and almost made the playoffs.
Remains to be seen whether he can succeed as a HC though. And Haslett is an asshole who will make the defense tough. He should never be a head coach again though. |

Reggie Bush's request to wear #5 got denied. McPhearson must be pretty happy seeing how he was #5 last season and I am assuming he would be #5 this season as well? Nobody really ever mentioned McPhearson's feelings about this whole matter, but I guess that is what happens when you make up fake checks while in college.

It would have been cool for Reggie to be No. 5, but I am glad the NFL denied it because other guys don't need to be outside of the alotted 30 numbers.

I think the numbering system in the NFL is pretty stupid. It really makes no sense to have it at all. Just use the NCAA/high school rules, 50-79 are ineligable recievers and can only be worn by lineman on offense. That is the only numbers that need to be kept "seperate" to help the refs, their is no reason why other positions should be limited to certain numbers. Mario Willaims rocking #9 at defensive end was pimp, #90 is not.
Reggie should pull a Greg Jones or Edgerin James and rock a two digit number that adds up to their single digit college number. I wonder if he is still gonna wear #5 practice jersey like Deion or Charles Woodson (both wear #2 practice jerseys) |

Carson Palmer is looking pretty sexy on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week. So he should reinjure his leg sometime soon.

lol How would changing the rule ruin the NFL? A lot of NFL rules are so dumb, the worst is having to wear a sock with two different colors. Where the hell did that come from and why do poeple think it looks good?

I personally like how the NFL has such a sound dress code. It helps seperate it from college football.

I think there is plenty of other things that seperate the NFL from NCAA football, most notably the quality of the players. Don't need stupid uniform rules to establish this.

The NFL is the professional league, with the professional standards which include sound uniforms. College football is amateur and it comes right down to the uniforms. A team like Florida has a look that can not be replicated in the NFL, and I think that is good for both the NFL and the NCAA.

Actually the socks really aren't "uniform" becuase they aren't all the same. Each player can pick how much white or how much team color they wany showing, they just need to have each others showing. So guys like Mike Vick wear a sock that is like 95% red and 5% while other players could be wearing the traditional %25 red %75 white

I'm pretty sure the NFL is really strict about the sox so that they don't cover up too much of the colored thing. I remember Moss used to always get fined for that.

That's gay though. The NFL is pro. It's like Hollywood. They need to make it LESS like college, where college is like... "Yeah you can put stickers on your helmet, BUT, you can't do anything else." I wanna see some face paint, some greater hits, some end zone taunts, some fun. I love that. I want to see personality. But whatever.
Isn't it also true that you can't have any of your skin showing between your pants and socks? O_o YOU KNOW WHAT I MISS? BELLIES HANGING OUT OF JERSEYS. That was the greatest thing in the world, when a jersey was just too small and a guy's gut was swinging freely in the breeze. When did they stop that? It was so awesome. |

Well I don't think its an instant fine, I am sure they have time to get them back up. Knowing the NFL though probably not.
Somehow 2 different colored socks is more professional looking then every memeber of the team wearing socks of the same length/color? As long as its uniform between all the memebers of the team then it should be fine. I don't understand why they don't just use crew socks or something, it is pretty obvious the majority of the players would rather do that. I went to a Patriots training camp practice and I think 3 guys out the entire team had high socks on, so I think that right there shows the players' stance on the issue. |

Stima, I'm not sure where you got the two-colored socks thing. Outside of the Patriots, I'm pretty sure most teams wear a colored thing (not a sock) around their lower legs and then a normal sock. There are all kinds of regulations in terms of the length of the actual sock, but I've never heard it has to be two colors.
![]() See this is how most teams wear their socks. The blue part isn't an actual sock, it's like the thing AI wears on his left arm but for your leg, or else it could be tights. The sock is just a normal white sock. |

They even see the 2 different colored socks.. http://www.eastbay.com/catalog/produ...166809&sport=0 They must have both colors showing, I believe it has to be something like alteast one inch of each color. The length the sock must be up to pad level so no skin is showing, it doesn't matter how much of the white or how much of the "team color" is showing, as long as their atleast one inch of both (Obviously if their only one inch of one color, there is going to be way more of the other) That is why Michael Vick can wear sock that is about 95% red and not get fined. Randy Moss got fined because he probably just wore an all purple sock, or something to that extent. ![]() Portis got fined wearing that and I agree that he should have because that just looks stupid. But at the sametime Shawn Springs gets fined every game because he wears his pants short and above his knee caps, which is pretty ridiculous. Why does that matter? He probably thinks it effects his performance. They have also banned tinted eyesheilds unless they are needed to protect a players eyes(must provide a doctors note to wear one lol what is this 5th grade?) Such a dumb rule, the mirror tinted Oakley visors are the shit. |

The guy standing behind Portis seems to be wearing like tights under his socks, where as in the pic you posted of Warner, it looks like he is wearing a 2 different colored sock. I dont really know why any of that matters tho lol, I just saying 2 different colored sock to make it easier, but yeah they do use both styles.

This has got to be the most dominant discussion on these boards EVER. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you have to have more of the team color than one inch. The reason Portis was fined for that picture is because the team was supposed to wear white socks on red and he wore red on red. (I ran into it while researching for this thread)

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Its not hurting the NFL to have uniform rules and theres no real reason to change it. Probably not a big contributor but theres a reason that the NFL is the most well run professional league in America.
