Good to see JP is recognized as a team leader.

"Since it's voted on by their teammates, it's clear that they have the respect and the faith and the trust of their teammates," said Jauron. "In my opinion that extends beyond the lines of the field. They need to be leaders off the field too and represent their teammates, this team and this organization in a manner that'll make everybody proud including them."

The Bills have always elected team captains each season, but the league is making a greater effort to recognize them. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's new Player Advisory Council has spearheaded a league-wide initiative to have captains recognized with a 'C' embroidered on each of their jerseys.
"Team captains are a key element in building team leadership and enhancing communication between players, coaches and management," said Ray Anderson, NFL executive vice president of football operations who will oversee the program. "The players themselves suggested the concept of re-emphasizing team captains."
Jauron is hoping that the leadership displayed by his team's captains will not just be between the sidelines.
"Since it's voted on by their teammates, it's clear that they have the respect and the faith and the trust of their teammates," said Jauron. "In my opinion that extends beyond the lines of the field. They need to be leaders off the field too and represent their teammates, this team and this organization in a manner that'll make everybody proud including them."


Goodell may be the best thing that ever happened to the NFL.

Obviously Kelsay's teammates don't know how much he sucks. :rolleyes:
team captains aren't always the best players on the team. Hopefully the added responsibility to Kelsay makes him play better.

Great news! It's going to be weird seeing the "C" on their jerseys though. Reminds me too much of hockey. :::

Coy Wire is a suprise here. Maybe this is his year?

Coy Wire is a suprise here. Maybe this is his year?

That doesn't surprise me actually. He has always struck me as a great team guy and a good leader. It just didn't always translate on the field when he was a safety. I'm not a big Coy Wire fan. Images of him being torched by Tom Brady and others are burnt into my brain however I'm willing to give him a fresh start as a LB. Time will tell.

What the hell is Schobel doing that he isnt a leader?

[Dont drink the water]

Coy Wire is a suprise here. Maybe this is his year?
Not a surprise since he always was a captain on special teams.
Crow and Kelsay are the captains on defense.

[BAM]

JP Losman :bf1:

[Michael82]

What the hell is Schobel doing that he isnt a leader?
He's not the kind of vocal leader that would make a captain. They have said that many times. He's more of a leader on the field by making plays and all that. He's never been that outspoken. Very quiet actually. You should see him at camp, he hardly smiles and is pretty quiet.

[Michael82]

BTW, this right here is the big reason why Kelsay was re-signed. He's a big vocal leader in the locker room and learned how to be a leader from Spikes and Fletcher. They taught him and Crowell how to speak up and take over the locker room or the field.

Here's an example, though tough to see of what it will look like:

JP was also voted captain by his teamates at Tulane.

I guess that old story from Mewelde Moore will finally be put to bed.

The "JP's not a leader" line is officially dead. Passed on. Expired. No more. Ceased to be.
