It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Rob, IMO, it's a reach to call David Andrews a "vocal opponent" of Patricia. Heck, Henry, too. They handled themselves well last season while still (very likely) disagreeing with the offensive philosophy behind closed doors. I didn't see any dissent from Andrews/Henry. Jones was the only one you saw outbursts from, and that came exclusively on the field; in publicly facing media sessions Mac was diplomatic.
I mean, who else could have been voted an offensive captain? Maybe Rham? Maybe Parker? Anyone else? I wouldn't assume this season's captains have anything to do with last season.
The 2022 Patricia/Judge rehash stuff is getting tired; it's been discussed ad nauseam over the past 3-4+ months. Real football has started. I'm looking forward at this point.
Just my two cents.
Surprising no Judon
Just like last season, very odd choices. Normally captains are your best/most respected players or senior guys.I had the number of captains correct but only Half of the names.
No Judon?
No Lawrence Guy aka the NEP nominee for the MOY award??
And no Jonathan Jones aka the Third-most senior member of the whole dam team???
Giving captaincies to Dee Wise, Double-H and Especially the thoroughly un-deserving Mac Jones is a ****ing Joke.
How do you know that they aren't the most respected?Just like last season, very odd choices. Normally captains are your best/most respected players or senior guys.
Behind the scenes, both Andrews and Henry were reportedly very vocal opponents of the Patricia offense. They weren't vocal publicly, but it is generally understood that they were very vocal in the locker room and meeting rooms. Mike Giardi pointed it out too:
I also believe everything the media tells me if it supports the narrative that Mac was blameless for the offensive problems last year.
If one of the DB's was considered a team leader, he would have been included, making it 3,3 and 1 STer.
