If they name the punter special teams Captain, I'm convinced that being named Captain has absolutey no value whatsoever.

He is an expensive punter though Danno.

With compensation comes responsibility.

Totally agree. I like Vitts fire, but its obviouslly not translating onto the field. If the defense sucks balls again this year we need to clean house. I will give them that they have not had much to work with but it is a coaches job to coach players up.

Bring back Fred McAffee as ST coach/assistant.

Dude you truly hate punters. I want to know why. Why do you hate punters so darn much? Punters are nice people. Punters have wives, kids, and pets.

Don't hate punters Danno. Punters are your friends.

Yeah I think we're likely to see a few guys getting signed next Mon. or Tu.

Hairstylists are nice people too. They have wives and kids and pets too. But I don't want them to captain my special teams units. Special teams are supposed to rip your frigging head off. No wonder our special teams units have sucked for so many years.

Maybe we can get a local pastry chef to coach up the LB's while we're at it.

I'd venture to say our defense might very well benefit from a pastry chef considering recent performances.

Going bald as I am, I cannot comment on hairstylists.

One of the gunners should be Cap.
The guy that leads should be Cap.
The one everybody else is follwing into the fray should be Captain.
I like Abdul-Quddus. Special teams will keep him loose while he waits his turn.
He's been here long enough to now step up and take the lead in kick coverage.
Vaccaro has made several ST plays. He has a good nose to the point of attack.
He's still a little too green and fresh to give direction to the vets.
