Can anyone tell me if they know if there are still any black stripes on this team? Just curious.

I'm guessing Cardale Jones.

That's a good question. I'm not sure of the answer though. It seems like after camp I didn't hear anymore about the stripes.

Luckily for him, Cardale lost his stripe during the preseason:

Here's an article written on August 29 by Doug Lesmerises of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that lists the players who had not lost their stripes.

The freshmen with stripes remaining include linebackers Josh Perry, Camren Williams, Jamal Marcus and Luke Roberts; receivers Michael Thomas, Ricquan Southward and Frank Epitropoulos; defensive end Se'Von Pittman; offensive lineman Pat Elflein; tight end Blake Thomas; defensive back Tyvis Powell; and O'Connor and Dodson, both of whom had surgery and haven't practiced much, or at all.

@OHHIYO, I believe there were reports that relative to other position coaches, Coach Fickell was being extra tough on the Linebackers and really making them earn theirs.
