I also seen a tweet about Michael Irvin having a conversation with Lamb about wearing #88.
There is an interview out there as well, so maybe there is a link or someone can post it. I do not do twitter so can't post it.

So this was not Jerry forcing him to change. Though many will still believe it was, because that is just the way they are.

That's cool. I hope he's our next #88 legend.

Call it whatever you want.

Lamb said #10.

Jerry said his piece.

Lamb said #88.


You do the math..lol

Love the #88 tradition but I hate that it was given away so fast and that Lamb wanted #10.

No math to it, as this was the type of response I expected.
Jerry also let the media believe an enhanced version of the Manziel card being snatched from his hand, only to find out years later it was not so.

Doesn't matter. I believe the Irvin story had more to do with it. You believe otherwise, no big deal.

Like an eager baby bird, mouth a gape, you accept anything mama bird regurgitates and forces down your throat.

So, 88 less 10 is 78 so that means ... it was LEON LETT’s fault!!

in the case of the fledgling, there's not a lot of choice.

I honestly don't know who believed that tripe to begin with. If Jerry wanted Manziel, we'd have had Manziel. It was a great media story for a while involving the Cowboys that Jerry was happy to cooperate with. Win-win.

10 would have looked so much better...

 

[Ranched]

#88 should have been retired w/the great Michael Irvin (sorry Drew). CeeDee should have taken #10 and just maybe, he can make that number legendary as well.

 

[ItzKelz]

I really dont care why he chose 88...I just want him to live up to the expectations of the number.

And expect him to live up to Tavon Austin? Now that is some shoes to fill.

Lol. Who?!

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

He chose 88 because Jerrah told him so

I don't think we should retire numbers. I'm fine with holding numbers for players we expect to live up to the legends. If we ever draft a #1 QB that is a sure thing then he can wear 12 or 8

 

[Bullflop]

I guess Cee Dee felt sorry for Jerry when he told him that sob story about his old friend?!

I felt like selecting 10 was a team player type move. Fits right I with the duo that’s already here... 13 & 19.

88, which I believe was pushed on him, feels like it singles him out

 

[BrassCowboy]

He should of stuck with #10. Make your own path with the number you wanted. A little too late to explain it away now.

Good point.
