Patriots signed first-round RB Sony Michel

[TheRainMaker]

I'd be surprised if Harmon wanted to change twice in one season, but I do agree that 21 would like nice on Michel. 29 is open, though. Blount made that number look great.

Michel is obsessed with having a one as his number so it’s either this or he buys 31 from Jonathan Jones.

I believe this is why he hasn’t taken a number yet.

The #1 question on everyone's mind is does Sony Michel possess Cat like quickness???

I believe you are the only one that is qualified enough to answer that question.

Nope, Belichick hasn't given ANY of his rookies REAL numbers yet. We should know his number when camp starts Thursday. I'm guessing 26 or 29.

Abso-freaking-lutely he has “cat like quickness”.

Yes and No. Michel has said he wants to wear #1 during training camp. BB can "assign" a number but he doesn't have to take it unless he can make a deal with another player.

He'd look good in 26 though.

With all due respect to those of the feline persuasion, Michel has something BETTER than "cat-like quickness":
"Dog-like doggedness".

Over/Under TDs for Michel in 5 years?

I will estimate a line of 50, 10 per year.

Then I go with Over.

Fantastic! He has big shoes to fill...

We shall see.

I just want to know what number he will wear.

I’m predicting he buys number 21 from Harmon.

I just hope his number is “tight.”

(That one is for the old-timers like me)

Does anybody remember the poster who started that?

I’m going to modernize it and say the number has to be “dope“.

I don’t remember who the poster was but I think he’s been gone for ten years.

Weren’t those posts about Chad Jackson?

If this kid remains healthy, he's going to run wild behind that offensive line. I'm very much looking forward to the return of some smash mouth, ball control offense to Foxboro.

I thought it was Maroney's #39 that caused the tightness/non tightness discussion. Sam Bam Cunningham wore 39 well, Maroney did not. I'm guessing Michel gets #29. #26 was just given to that new safety we just signed. Lucien got #10. I think Reiss said it.

Yep you got it. I'm guessing 29 for Michel (or 1 until September). I suspect that because the new guys got the numbers of the recently released guys, that means the rookies have made their selections but it's not public info yet.

I was also thinking it could be Maroney so you might be right. I remember the darkness of the player’s skin was a big focus of that poster

“Darkness of the players skin”? That gave me a good laugh.

My friend had a weird thing about that too when building his Madden franchise. Even though their measurables were through the roof, he would reset the console and restart the draft if the skin color wasn’t dark enough.

And he is a white guy.

Did this person just stop posting or get banned?

It’s always funny to hear stories about past posters.

That’s a good question. I’m going to guess he was banned. This was back in mid-2006 if anyone wants to take a deep dive and investigate it.
