Well done, Buford. I think Fletcher is a no brainer, I think guys like Zo and Monty should be Captains as well. Deangelo is a leader, a vocal leader, but a leader nonetheless.... unfortunately he isn't leading the team in the right direction. If we were on the block in the 757, I would follow DHall to the turf war, but it's not, it's the NFL.
DHall played very solid today. Watch the game. His maturity level though is to be questioned.
Really tired of the fans coming down on Moss. Most of it is unwarranted and petty. Guy has been nothing but professional to this organization and it's fans for the past 6 years. 2005,2008,2009,2010 he's started all 16 games. 2006 and 2007 14 games. Guy is consistent, look at his stats. He works his tail off and doesn't complain. Involved with the community and kids in the area. Never has asked to be traded to a contender. Never has tried to leave this mess of an organization and enduring through the day's of his close friends death Sean Taylor, horrible Al Saunders, Jason Campbell, Jim Zorn, Sherm Lewis etc. Guy even took a paycut to come BACK here even though he could have made more elsewhere.
Yet, he gets questioned on his character and on whether or not he should be a captain.
Maybe I missed something, but he was standing around when Gronk had his first long reception....he got cooked by Welker on the TD....then he had 20 yards in penalties. Other than that, he was solid.Quote:

Lorenzo Alexander has a non stop motor and continues just to play every special team at 100% Thats the kind of guy young players that are coming in that are not the highest of draft picks look to t (players who come from no where or eventually play)
Bowen.. If you were at any redskisn games this year you would have saw on the sidelines bowen keeping the d's heads up after a tough drive. he is also a lead by example guy.
Fletcher is a given.
These SHOULD be our 4 representatives Fletcher, Sellers, Alexander and Bowen
My captains? Keep in mind they wouldn't all be captains at once, but these are guys who deserve to be captains.
Offensive:
Jabar Gaffney
Will Montgomery
Roy Helu
Defense:
London Fletcher (assuming he's here)
Brian Orakpo
Barry Cofield
ST:
Byron Westbrook
Lorenzo Alexander
Reed Doughty
These are all examples of guys who are blue collar, quality players who make plays for their respective units and lead by example.
Fletcher and Sellers ARE captains.Quote:

ok? i said those should be the four?
Not sure if you knew that Fletch and Sellers were already captains...Quote:

Besides this comments post-game.....6 drops in the past 3 games. Your #1 WR can't do that. If its his hand, he shouldn't be out there. (I don't really believe he shouldn't be playing)Quote:

I'll never understand why people are so down on Moss. I think he's been a great receiver for the Redskins. The offense is stagnant when he's not playing. Of course he has some drops. What receiver doesn't? He does get us lots of first downs.
People seem to forget the defenders on the other team get paid to stop receivers too.
As far as griping after the game, I like the emotion that he has. Of corse he's going to be upset after the game but then he lets it go. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Didn't Moss have ties to Dr. Anthony Galea?
Doughty is a victim of his physical limits. But he tries. D. Hall just stood there and watched those guys trying to tackle? That's being a leader?
I love Sellers heart. I hope that when he retires he sticks with the organization somehow. I don't know if he's a player/coach for younger guys. But if he is.....he's got fire.
As is stated above, my point would be that if you don't complain about it nothing will ever be addressed. Have you ever seen a Yankee fan complain about umpiring? Or a Duke fan about refs? Probably not. I'm not suggesting that these teams win because of officiating, however it's really weak and quite frankly really unfair for the "winners" to get close calls their way all the time. I'm not suggesting that the weaker team should get them either; I just want the calls to be fair. However if I see a call that's blatantly not fair or right, you'd better believe that ref's going to hear about it. I'm not willing to sit idley by and just accept that "winning" teams get all the calls.Quote:
