POLL : Hypothetical worst case scenario: who becomes the team captain if Fletcher doesn't re-sign?

[Chadwiko]

Hey ES'ers,

As the topic title suggests, if something terrible happens and London Fletcher does not return to the Burgundy and Gold for the 2012 season, who would step up to be the captain of the defense, as well as the 'spiritual leader' of the team?

[Daaskins]

Make a pull but i say it could be Orakpo or possibly kerrigan

[Madison Redskin]

I'd put my money on Coefield, who was a leader with the NYG.

[gamecokskins703]

for defense.....I have no idea. which is WHY its so important to resign fletch. Who else is gonna do a better job of leading the skins?

for the team, i hope it becomes RGIII

[Chadwiko]

(I haven't included RGIII or other offensive players for the purposes of this poll, as this is intended to be focusing on the defense. Apologies if the wording was not clear)

I think it would be Orakpo.

[Kevin101]

Orakpo, Cofield, Lorenzo, Kerrigan

[DogofWar1]

Orakpo is the likely candidate. He's a very solid starter who's been here in the B&G longer than most on the defense. He's also more stable than Hall. Nobody else really stands out. Cofield and Carriker are long shots I guess.

The only other thing I could think would be if we signed a stub ILB in FA who Shanahan felt was captain material (unlikely), or if Riley suddenly became captain material.

Coefield. He's the leader in the locker room after fletch.

[LoudMouth12thMan]

delete. Misread the title.

[RichmondRedskin88]

I'd probably say Orakpo or Kerrigan though the team might elect RGIII being the QB and all.

[Stadium-Armory]

Defense is easy, there are options: Coefield, Orakpo, Kerrigan.

But offense? Its barren over there bro. Santana Moss would be an option; If he's with the team, that is. Cooley, same story. Short of those two, I can't pull a single name on O. Will Montgomery?

Orakpo, maybe riley idk hopefully not hall

[DarrellsMyHero28]

Voted Orakpo, think that Coefield/Carriker would also be good options. Kerrigan likely too young.

Would hope RG3 will fill the void soon. Being QB can in a way override the youth factor and I think the guys on offense will know how much faith the organization has in him based on the trade we made.

I think Carriker because of experience. It'll be a tight group and there should be crisp reactions to whoever is making the call but I think it will less directed whoever it is. Fletcher could be anywhere and have everybody else be there too. Edit: Don't want to speak in past tense yet, that's for sure.
