    NFL to officially endorse team Captains

    The official source for NFL news, video highlights, fantasy football, game-day coverage, schedules, stats, scores and more.


    Looks like the NFL is considering putting a uniform identification on captains of offense, defense, and special teams. I know some teams have always had an "unofficial" captain, but it got me thinking...

    Who would be captain of offense, defense, and special teams on the 2007 Buffalo Bills?

    Its tough for us to say because we dont know the way people interact in the locker room, but I'd say Moorman on ST, Schobel or maybe Triplett or Crowell on D, and then on O....i have no idea. Maybe one of the o-line? Bc I love JP but he has only started one full season, so idk.

            Who was last year's offensive captain? It's been Fletcher on D and Wire on ST but I'm drawing a blank on O.

                  Your QB has to be the acknowledged team leader, so on O it's JP. On D, I wouldn't be surprised to see Poz there in a few years, but maybe Schobel for now, in recognition of his accomplishments. Maybe Wire on STs.
                  Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                    Didn't think of Wire. You're right, he'll be ST captain.

                      O- Jp (your QB has to be the leader regardless)
                      D- Whitner (no one else has used it)
                      ST- Stamer (brings the enthusiasm)

                        I never really understood why anyone needs a "C" on their jersey. They don;t get more points if they do something smart and they don't lose points when they do something moranic. I guess for the player who the coach "awards" the "C" to it probably gives him a special little somethin' inside but come on. If I am a DB and I happen to come across a little receiver wearing a "C", I might give him a little somethin' special for being "special".

                        And for the record, I never wore a "C" when I played anything, but since you have never seen a "C" on a baseball or football jersey, I guess that is a pretty good reason.

                          To some people, it means a lot. Same reason, though completely not even in the league of, earning your stripes in the military. Its just an honor to be selected by your organization as a leader.

                            I'm pretty sure I've seen pro-baseball players wearing a C on some teams - maybe the Cubbies?

                            Otherwise I agree with your points.
