RochesterLifer Posted August 31 Posted August 31 All these recommendations are solid. The name I would advocate most for is Taron Johnson. I think we need to start viewing him as an elder statesman leader. I believe his long tenure and high-level performance give him a very high status on this team. Quote
LabattBlue Posted August 31 Posted August 31 Captain America Captain Phillips Captain Sullenberger Captain Blythe Captain Hook That’s all I’ve got. 😂 Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted August 31 Posted August 31 While the Bills had about 10 captains in 2022 and 8 in 2023, they cut it down to just TWO last year: Josh and Bernard. I can see them sticking with those two. No need for more. The culture is set, the leadership is set. Dont over-complicate it. If they do add to the list, it would probably be from the list of new extensions. Likely Shakir and Rousseau, but I'm just guessing. Benford and Cook are too quiet and just lead by on-field performance. 2 Quote

skibum Posted August 31 Posted August 31 I couldn't even begin to venture a guess - a good thing, because there are so many viable candidates: Allen, Shakir, Benford, Rousseau, Dawkins, Brown, Milano, Bernard, Knox, Oliver, Jones, McGovern, and either of two Johnsons just to name a few. There are also a few 2nd and 3rd year guys that could get their first shot, plus vet role players like Gilliam and Ferguson, and Bosa and Shaq who been captains elsewhere. Probably 20+ Bills qualify, which is great. Quote
Gugny Posted August 31 Posted August 31 Two. One O: one D. Having more than two is dumb and juvenile. Or just have one and give it to Damar Hamlin, since his spot on the roster is clearly more secure than Josh Allen’s. Quote
Doc Brown Posted August 31 Posted August 31 I think they expand it to two on each side. Offense - Allen, Dawkins Defense - Bernard, Groot Quote
akcash Posted August 31 Posted August 31 Josh, Gilliam, Dawkins, McGovern, Knox, Benford, Bernard(maybe Rapp) Quote
chris heff Posted August 31 Posted August 31 Today at US open, hang in there until 1:45. Mary Jo asks about upcoming Bills vs Ravens. Jessica is way more gracious than I would have been, I’d have told her that “her rooting interest in the Ravens are great, but my family owns the Bills”. I think Jess should be a captain. 2 1 Quote
Sierra Foothills Posted September 1 Posted September 1 (edited) My nominee for Captain... On 8/30/2025 at 5:30 PM, ganesh said: Didn’t Rex do something stupid like get a former player of the opponent and have him go to the toss. It kind of set the adrenaline for the player. Rex named IK Enemkpali, (a former Jets player he had signed after the Jets cut him) as a co-captain for the pre-game coin toss, a move widely seen as a trolling act against his former team. Enemkpali was the defensive lineman who had punched Jets quarterback Geno Smith in the locker room earlier that year, breaking his jaw and causing Smith miss the start of the season.
