Mack Hollins...good for him! It is worth noting that one of our captains from last year are starting against us for the Pats this week, LOL.
What an interesting collection of names. Shows the mindset of the locker room as well as the leadership of the players who were selected.
Are we then to assume that Tua, Howard, Gesicki, Baker and, Parker were not interested in being Captains?
Another take - but take it for what its worth: The Dolphins announced five captains on Wednesday. On offense, the two captains are receiver Mack Hollins and offensive lineman Jess Davis. The others are linebacker Elandon Roberts, defensive back Jason McCourty, and safety Clayton Fejedelem. The players voted on the captains. Some will say it’s no big deal that Tua didn’t get a C on his jersey. Others will say that the quarterback position requires leadership, and that if that leadership doesn’t inspire enough teammates to vote for the player to get the C on his jersey, something may be lacking in the leadership department. The vote comes just as rumors and reports linking the Dolphins to Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson have subsided. Although the chatter has decreased, it hasn’t gone away. Whether and to what extent Tua performs well to start the season could go a long way toward slamming the door — or swinging it open. Last week on PFT Live, that’s the spot where Simms and I eventually landed. Tua should react to the chatter the way someone like Tom Brady would. Get pissed. Play well. Make them not want Watson because they realize you’re as good if not better. First up for Tua is the Patriots, in only four days. Next, the Bills. Then the Raiders and the Colts, following by a short trip to Tampa and a long trip to England to play the Jaguars. The ultimate deadline for a 2021 trade happens the Tuesday after Week Eight. By then, the Dolphins will know whether Tua has taken the step that he needs to take to end the Watson talk for good. Or at least until March.
Florio is such a jerk sometimes. He knows full well that the salary cap makes any trade for Watson problematic for the team yet he still pushes this non-story for clicks. Watson has a $15 million cap hit this season and that goes up to $40 million next season. To absorb Watson, we'd have to cut several starters. We'd also need to give Houston five 1st and 2nd round picks over the next three drafts that we would need to replace them. I'm not saying it's impossible. But if we were to trade for him, we'd effectively blow up everything that we've done for the past three years.
I know and he also leaves out the fact that they have to put their name in the hat. Did he even put his name in? If YES then what up. If NO then there is no story. Another click bait story that when you find out the real information makes everyone question all reporting.
