New Hawks Get Their Numbers

by lemonverbena on May 3, 2008 2:17 PM PDT

The new numbers are here !! The new numbers are here!!1!

This number is permanently ruined by the 2nd-worse QB ever taken with the 2nd overall pick in the draft (worst: see Leaf, Ryan ). Still have a #3 Mirer jersey somewhere? Lose one turn.

7 Brandon Coutu (pronounced "Ca-TOO")

Gale Gilbert never did jack shit with it, Catooo, so knock yourself out.

Ditto Kitna and his dorky bible-thumping handwarmer.

9 Dalton Bell

I have a slightly better chance of making the roster than this guy.

10 Olindo Mare

So they just give #10 to any-freakin'-body? McGwire, Feagles... now an ex-Dolphin kicker. Nice respect.

16 Michael Bumpus

Great training camp number. See you in the CFL, Coug.

17 Anthony Russo

This one time, Krieg fumbled the ball out of his little hands (again), recovered his own fumble on the run, and threw a touchdown to Paul Skansi. Or was it Danny Greene? I'm pretty sure it was a Husky. Shit, I was there and I can't even remember.

OK, it was Greene..

18 Travis Brown

Who knew this guy was still in the league... teammates voted him "Most Likely to Be Selling Insurance come September".

Update: apparently this was a WR Travis Brown, not the journeyman QB. Whatever. Neither of them are in camp as of Monday.

22 Julius Jones

Julius wore 21 with Dallas but Kelly Jennings has it here, so JJ honors the late Dave Brown's digits.

28 DeMichael Dizer

Warner's number in no danger of seeing regular-season action.

29 Donovan Alexander

The New Alexander is #29 in your scorecards, #0 in chances of making the roster.

30 Justin Forsett

Forsett's shorter than the kicker. Didn't Bobby Joe Edmonds wear #30? Go Sproles 2.0!!

31 Omare Lowe

Seattle native, with his 6th team in 7 seasons, is one of three Huskies trying to win a spot. Gilbertson influence?

33 Kelin Johnson

U of Georgia chicks are hot.

Oh yeah, Doornink ! and Darryl Williams.

35 Owen Schmitt

That's not a ponch under the numbers, it's Fire in the Belly.

36 Jamar Adams

Early favorite to be the undrafted FA that makes the 45-man, if anyone, but probably they only carry 4 CB (Tru, KJ, Wilson, Babs) and 4 SS (Grant, Russell, Green, Wallace/Adams). Right?

40 Dan Curran

Kerry Joseph is a league-MVP quarterback for the Grey Cup Champion Saskatchewan Roughriders. Curran? Coming soon to an Arena League team near you.

41 Eric Wicks

"...his below-average measurables are bound to catch up with him in the NFL."

44 David Hawthorne

Boz's career was doomed when they wouldn't let him wear Fo Fo. Dude couldn't run through a cardboard box in Michael Jackson 's old number.

45 T.J. Duckett

I'll see Kenny Easley every time he touches the ball. Do that number proud, son.

47 Zac Alcorn

Boooo... motherfucking GB castoffs are bad juju.

48 Tyler Schmitt

Fight on and on ye Aztec men
Sons of Montezuma
We will win again
Keep your spirits high
Never bow a knee
We will fight till victory

Fight on and on ye Aztec men
Proudly raise your banners high
For it's the Red and Black
Hail to our team
San Diego Aztecs fight!

49 Matt Castelo

Wha? Fooball?

53 Wesly Mallard

57 Nick Jones

01/17/08 - C Nick Jones (released by Giants 8/28) signed with Seattle.

8/22/07 - C Nick Jones (released by Seahawks 7/20) signed with the N.Y. Giants.

07/20/07 - C Nick Jones was waived by Seattle.

58 D.D. Lewis

A rook done took your number, man.

61 Dustin Dickinson
63 Pat Murray
64 Chris White

68 Mike Wahle

I think we're really going to like this guy.

73 William Robinson

Three Aztecs (potentially) on one NFL team? Be still, my still-beating heart...

79 Joseph "Red" Bryant

Rookie defensive tackle Red Bryant was asked how long it took before he knew who his fiancee's father was. "Two years," he said. Two years? I asked. I didn't really understand the full explanation, but he said something like Jacob Green would come out to practice, but he was very low key, and he didn't go over his fiancee's parents house for two years and he never put it together.

He also said he didn't want to wear Green's No. 79, but Green insisted that he wear it.

88 Jeb Putzier

Putz walking in Don Clune and Itula Mili's mighty footsteps.

89 John Carlson

When Brian Blades was the best WR on the team, we... sucked. Don't shoot!

91 Chris Cooper

Losing your number is the minimum punishment for portraying a gay, sadistic ex-Marine in American Beauty. And for being an Arizona Cardinal.

95 Lawrence Jackson

"Why you touchin me dude..."

96 Larry Tripplett

Tez is an un-enshrined Hall of Famer. At least retire his fucking number, Seahawks. Note: the number was previously assigned to one Jonathan Lewis, who was cut when Pork Chop was re-signed, one day after these numbers were announced . At which point the number-less Tripp vultured 9-6, according to the Seahawks . Hughes is no Mike Sando. But you knew that.

Update:

14 Joel Filani
