What if they were able to change it throughout the game? The "C" patch could be attached with velcro. Instead of selecting a captain, the players would select the "Captain Designator" who would have the ability to grant and revoke the "C" patch. For example, if Q was elected Designator he might choose Leinart as the Captain before a game. If Matt throughs high on a crossing pattern and lays Boldin out, Q comes back to the huddle and says "Gimme that back, dumb*ss" and sticks the "C" on someone else. This would continue until a fight broke out within the huddle, at which point both players would be put in a penalty box for a couple of minutes while the team continued to play short handed.

A powerplay in football. That would be cool, you know, hypothetically. :)

Great post DCF. :thumbup:

She works for PetsMart.

Yep, you will be surprised how many atheletes you met in the pet industry. Working outside of Philly I met Brian Westbrook, Donovan McNabb, and that DT that played for them that had the HUGE thighs (played for the Colts later?)
anyway he had two very cool bulldogs.

What kinda dog does he have?

What if when the team picks captains, they pick Kurt Warner for offense ?

I am excited for this preseason. QB controversy in full effect whether Whiz & Co. like it or not. I know if I were on the team it would be between Edge and Warner.
Whiz would count them wrong.

I think one way or another, Matt will be the captain this year, whether his teammates vote him as such or not.

I certainly hope so. It must have been humiliating for the QB corps to be the only team in the NFL whose starting quarterback was not named a team captain with the exception of the Cleveland Browns, whose season-opening starter was traded by Week 3. Even Trent Green was named a captain for Miami last season. As was Chad Pennington.

The coaching staff will probably name the captains. I think they'll be:
offense-Leinart; to give him more of a leadership role
defense-Berry;to show what a team player/good soldier is like
special teams- Morey; Whiz's guy

The coaching staff let the players do it last year. What message would they send if they took that away?

I think you get to name six captains on every team. I'd be surprised to find out that Boldin got stripped of his status; hopefully they'll just tack one on to Leinart's jersey. Berry probably won't even start, and he wasn't (I don't think) a captain last year. It'll likely be Hayes and Wilson (for the second year in a row). The Special Teams captain was Rackers; I bet he will be so again.
