I don’t think the captains have been decided/ announced unless I missed it.  But I would expect that he is selected.

Not really that deep for me to comment more it was just my first thought. 

No worries I’m just generally interested in how leadership councils are utilized

Russ Bodine isn't on it?  Thought he was Vlad Ducasse's proxy?

I don’t think Ducasse was ever on the council 

Here is one function of the panel

People try to read too much into these types of things. Yes, it probably means these individual's roster spots are safe. Outside of that it means relatively nothing about the people who aren't on this list.

Player-driven leadership. From 2017-

Quote

 

McDermott will be looking at a wide range of qualities when selecting the players that fit the build, but made it known that age won’t be the only thing considered. Here’s what he said in the beginning of April:

 

 

 

 

“I think you look for a range of characteristics. Age is one of them. Experience – but that doesn’t just limit it to the older crowd, so to speak. You want representation from, really, the cross-section of the team and really guys that represent the whole team, not just certain parts of the team. I’ve been around it at the two different spots that I’ve been at – both Philadelphia and Carolina – I’ve seen it work well. … Anybody [can step up]. Leadership is a big part of this football team and having the right type of chemistry on the team. Every ship needs a rudder and so obviously I’m one of the leaders, and the player-driven leadership component of it is big. There needs to be leadership in that locker room and on the field, whether it’s practice or during the games. Young or old, it’s time to step up and lead.”

Not 1 RB?  (Demarco doesn't count).

 

"When he began to reshape the Buffalo Bills‘ coaching staff, he wanted coaches that embodied great leadership. When he started to rebuild the roster, he stayed consistent with the leadership quality. Personally, looking at the personnel from top to bottom, it’s hands down the best looking staff this team has had in a long time"

 

Since that article was written, McD fired a chunk of that "best looking staff that embodied great leadership": Gill Byrd, Juan Castillo, Crossman, Terry Robiskie.

DiMarco a lock then

 

All the folks who haven't known this haven't been paying any attention.  No matter what any of us think, DiMarco isn't going anywhere.

Leadership Counsel? Cripes. 

 

Bring back the days of grabbing whoever’s dogging it by their facemask and chewing them out in front of everyone.

True. McD has talked him up a lot. He had a really nice block on a TD vs Carolina

Can one of the Dimarco haters explain why they hate him please? Thanks in advance.

It's a group that will soon embark on a quest to find the one true ring

I don't have anything against DiMarco personally; it's just that his value on the football field seems to be less than other players' who might be cut. It's puzzling.

And where does that belief come from? He's a good special teamer and plays a quarter of the time on offense. He's also a team leader. What will a 5th running back or 7th WR contribute that he doesn't?

Too much process oozes from Dimarco to cut him..... Even though he is useless.
