No Kicker, Punter, DE, CB, or TE either...

I liked when they didn't have captains back in 2011... I dunno why; but I did.

Didn't  last year either.   Vinney Rey was a ST captain

Good one 

Are captains appointed by coaches or voted on by the team.

AJ Green is a poor choice for team captain in my opinion. Even though he is one of the best at his position he is a lead through example kinda player.

I remember a interview with Green after Lafell was released and he said things like now he would HAVE to help the young players since Lafell was gone. Screams red flag for the C patch to me...

Think it's either/or or both.

Most teams I played on had captain voting.  I'll never forget one year this one guy was just aching to be  captain.  He went to every locker to say, hey, vote for me and I'll never forget thinking that if you have to campaign for it, that kinda takes some of the shine off it, doesn't it?

His only saving grace was that at least he didn't go around saying vote for me or I'll knock you out, which, in most cases, he could have done.

If they added the weight of Captain on Ross he would blow another hammy and go on IR

Ross can’t wear a C patch. Only eligible to wear the D patch for Doubtful.

Made it 13 posts before taking a shot at Ross.

Good Job ICD, keep thinking of baseball.  Soon you'll be able to last a whole 2 minutes.

I guess they are going to wheel AJ out there to call the flip.

Surprised no Mixon as he seems to be all in as a team player (cheerleader).

I agree.  Mixon seems like a natural leader.  Green?  Not so much.  But probably the highest offensive skilled player.  He gets respect.

But there is a d-line and two DB’s.

Gio was quoted about being honored to be so respected by his teammates so it looks like it came from the players

I prefer
