Good Group.

Moss, interesting. He`s obviously earned some respect in the locker room. Kind of dissapointed though because I was hoping to see AD on the list.

 

[moss4ever]

Moss deserves it, especially if you listen to all the receivers or offensive players from last year on how he helped them with route running and coverages.

Ty Warren was last year; interesting the DL has gone from Seymour to Warren to Wilfork.

iam sure ESPN and other media outlets will have their own segement about randy moss being captain

 

[Kontradiction]

What about Welker? He probably deserved to be on that list as well.

here is the first crap from the media
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/05/pats-roll-out-eight-captains/

The New England Patriots have announced that a whopping eight members of the team will be captains this season.

Three on offense, four on defense, one on specials teams.

On offense, the captains are quarterback Tom Brady, receiver Randy Moss, and tackle Matt Light. On defense, the four “C”-wearing players are linebacker Tedy Bruschi, linebacker Mike Vrabel, safety Rodney Harrison, and defensive tackle Vince Wilfork.

Larry Izzo is the special-teams captain.

It perhaps would have been easier for the Patriots to simply name the players who won’t be captains

maybe they should ask florio to list the 45 players who are not captains...

That's like asking Florio not to speak in first person plural. He can't do it.

I love Moss and Wilfork as captains. I really hope Vince doesn't do with it what Daniel Graham did.

And it's pretty dumb of PFT to suggest that a lot of leadership on a team is a bad thing.

This reminds me of something I thought was interesting last year. It seems the Pats were the only team not to wear the "C" on their uniforms. I didn't hear too much about the NFL's reaction or whether it was actually a mandate. Anyone know?

1. Captains must be elected for a year-long term to qualify for the “C"
2. Teams can only have six players wear the “C”
3. Teams can also do whatever floats their boat

 

[emoney_33]

So out of the starters, is the list of players that COULD/SHOULD be captains larger than the list that COULDNT/SHOULDNT??

Randy Moss have been team Captain, in MN and Oakland, Moss Teammates especially younger players have always made it clear, how helpful Moss is to them.

What did Graham do ? Did he use it as a negotiating value at contract time ?

 

[VJCPatriot]

Geez, have we got enough captains? We're gonna run out of regular players at this rate!! JK, good group of people picked this season.

 

[apple strudel]

Nothing so severe - merely left that year for big money in Denver. It is a roundabout way of saying I hope we re-sign Big Vince.
