Team Captains ???

[Saint Douggie]

When are they announcing them? Haven’t seen anything yet and am really curious who the new leadership group will be with so many prominent vets leaving this off-season.

 

I’m guessing:

 

Josh (obvious)

Dawkins

Von

Oliver

Bernard

Hollins (special teams)

 

Thoughts?

I’m not having any thoughts…,

She is a lawyer on top of it, I have to watch my words lol, 

[whorlnut]

I think Dawson Knox will be one. 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I think today is the first day of actual practice, so I imagine we will find out later. 
 

I think benching/releasing captains is a bad look, so I’d be surprised if role players like Von and Knox got a C.

 

Josh

Dawkins

 

Bernard

Oliver

 

Ferguson

They literally moved on from 6 captains from last year - so I don't think that's a concern with this team.

Shouldnt be a massive concern with any team.  Each year is a different year in sports.

I’d say this is of equal value, but with the added touch of name calling.

That’s what I mean, I don’t think they like moving on from guys who were also captains. Or making captains of players who are likely to leave at the end of the year.

I've been seeing a bunch of other teams releasing their announcements of team captains, and I'm jealous now.  What's taking the Bills so long?  Need a couple recounts on the votes?

 

My guesses are below.  Of note, McDermott went with 6 team captains from 2017-2019, then 7 in 2020, 8 in 2021, 9 in 2022, and back to 8 last year.  I feel like we might be back to a lower number this year with all the incumbent captains departing?

 

Offense

-Allen and Dawkins are locks IMO, although Dawkins hasn't been a captain since 2020 I think he's such a veteran leader he's gotta be one this year.

-Mack Hollins.  Everyone on the Bills appears to be obsessed with this guy.  He might also count as a special teams captain.

-Dalton Kincaid?

 

Defense

-Bernard.  He's the QB of the defense.  Edmunds was a team captain basically every year till he left.  Now that Bernard is the established starter, he'll get the C.

-Von Miller has been a captain each of the last 2 years.  Hard for me to think they take it away this year.

-Benford?

 

Special Teams

-Mack Hollins? (see above)

-Casey Toohill?
