    Team Captains

    So, according to.. http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..._team_captains wikipedia (yea i know... great source)

    the ravens allocate their team captains on a weekly basis.. Fair enough.

    Going forward without #52 and #20 in particular does anyone think

    A) that harbs will allocate new team captains; complete with the uniform C patches?

    and
    B) who would be the 3 or 6 deserving ravens? (1 or 2 each for O, D and ST) we obviously have numerous high character rookies, players who should 'automatically evolve' into captains who were here in 2012 and incoming FAs

    Interested to hear peoples thoughts on this, whether it be stay with weekly captains (i remember once or twice, a player is nominated as captain when facing their hometown club or some such) ... does anyone else know how else this is allocated? Ie putting in a huge effort in practise that week..

    Re: Team Captains

    I don't see us making anyone official captains. The team captains are usually the coin toss guys, nothing more. And we usually revolve that to honor certain guys on certain games. Like if we're playing a guy's former team, we'll make him a team captain. I don't even think Ray Lewis was always out there for the coin toss every game, but maybe I was wrong about that.

    I never paid much attention to the game captains, but if I had to choose it would be Joe Flacco and Terrell Suggs. If the Ravens don't use team captains and change it up from week to week, that is actually pretty cool, if it ain't broke don't fix it.


    ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

    Re: Team Captains

    My wife likes to think of herself as the family "Captain", and me as the 1st Mate. I'm cool with that. She makes the decisions about where the family will go on vacation, what our nightly dinners will be, and what kind of car we will drive. Meanwhile, I am in charge of the family policy on North Korea, Winter snow removal, and watching Ravens games on TV. I feel like I am in control of the most important things ;) ... Bc

    Re: Team Captains

    If they had fixed captains, it would probably be Flacco, Rice, and Suggs...but I don't think they'll do that.
