Figured they’d make Orlando one with Mixon gone. He’s been great taking some of the young guys like Mims under his wing.

Bell returns and is named a captain. Nice!

Nice

Suprised that both Hill and Hilton are not captain's.

I like the players choose those deserving to be a captain versus coaches.

Always interesting to see who gets voted captain by their teammates. I would have thought either Wilson and/or Hilton would be a captain for sure.
Congrats to Pratt - last offseason a lot of fans were down on him after the Ossai incident after the AFCC loss…

Didn't we use to have 6 captains? 8 seems like an awful lot.

Like the captain picks but surprised Logan Wilson was not chosen.

I'm not surprised simply because there are so many Captain types on this team, there are 5 or 6 more that could easily be Captains. What surprises me is ADG, I'm assuming he's the Special Teams Captain.

My thoughts exactly. Good for him and his confidence.

That was my assumption as well, special teams captain.

I initially had the same thought, but assumed the distinction went to Bell as a respected and returning veteran player. It wasn't a slight to Wilson, but rather respect being given to Bell.

Yep, he and McPherson represent special teams:

Quote:Veteran linebacker Germaine Pratt joins Bell as a defensive captain. Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. comes from the offense while kicker Evan McPherson and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither represent special teams.

what do they get for being captains, more questions as the pressers

We've normally only had 1 STer and I think we added one more on O as well

just the additional special team one  Orlando replaced Mixon.  Karras and Burrow are holdovers

Probably right but just don't get Pratt after the way he dressed down Ossai in front of the entire world after the playoff loss.

Give the team credit for knowing what kind of guy he really is. We saw a tiny moment, they see him every day on the practice field, game day field, in the locker room,and in meetings. They wouldn’t have chosen him if he wasn’t a leader

Excuse my lack of empathy but it was a stupid hit


Like idiot level hit


I never blamed Pratt for doing it. It was a DUMB hit. It lost the game
