Dan III Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Evans, Edwards, Kelsay, Whitner, Moorman, Wilson... Edit: http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6511
MattyT Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 It'd be funny if they actually made Losman hand over his patch to Edwards. Also, why Kelsay over Schobel? Dude's been here a loooong time.

Schobel's not a rah-rah guy. Ever see him after a sack? He takes a beating from his teammates but doesn't get all that fired up.
The Big Cat Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 No one else is excited to Ralph lace up the cleats for one more go at it?
scribo Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 why Wilson he doesn't start. Gotta be Special Teams. There are two from the D, two from the O and two from the ST.
Tortured Soul Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 why Wilson he doesn't start. Special teams. Two from O, D, and ST
Lori Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 It'd be funny if they actually made Losman hand over his patch to Edwards. Also, why Kelsay over Schobel? Dude's been here a loooong time. Kelsay was a captain last year, as were Evans and Moorman. The others: Losman => Edwards Crowell => Whitner (and isn't that interesting.) Wire => Wilson (special teams)
ans4e64 Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Bye Bye Angelo Are you guys saying that Whitner isn't more of a defensive captain than Crowell? Because that's what you're saying by eluding to the fact that they took it away from him because they are not going to re-sign him. Whitner is THE leader of the defense. Crowell is not anymore. Last year he was. This year we have Whitner, Kelsay, Schobel, Stroud, Mitchell, McGee... all before it'd be Crowell. Stop reading into things, geesh.

nobody Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 “It’s a special honor,” said head coach Dick Jauron. “I’ve always loved that hockey ‘C’ on the sweater. It’s got to be a special deal in our league to have that ‘C’ sitting on their shoulder. I congratulated them all on their election. It’s a special deal when your teammates elect you.” Great quote.
VOR Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I'd say Crowell not being named captain again had more to do with all the time he missed in training camp than anything else. But I also think he's gone at the end of the year.
eball Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Whitner was a reach for team captain. I heard on Sirius NFL Radio that in the days leading up to the team vote, there were several offers to various players to give up their votes for Whitner in return for an extra helping at the dinner buffet.
Bob in Mich Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 No one else is excited to Ralph lace up the cleats for one more go at it? I am psyched, Big Cat. He's what, 89, and the man has still got the wheels!!
Ramius Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I heard on Sirius NFL Radio that in the days leading up to the team vote, there were several offers to various players to give up their votes for Whitner in return for an extra helping at the dinner buffet. It true. I heard it as well. We could have had not named whitner, and thus 10 captains instead of just 6, including a center and a guard.
Captain Hindsight Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Whitner was a reach for team captain. Why? He went out on a limb to say the Bills will make the playoffs and has been helping all the rookies get acclimated to the NFL. He was arguably our most consistent defensive player last year and has become a star in the league. I predicted it would be Whitner before i heard this. No surprise to me at all
The Big Cat Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I am psyched, Big Cat. He's what, 89, and the man has still got the wheels!! Sadly those wheels are attached to a Ford Taurus!
