Bengals Announce 2010 Team Captains

by Josh Kirkendall on Sep 6, 2010 12:59 PM EDT in Analysis

The Bengals have announced their team captains for the 2010 season, voted on by their peers.

Carson Palmer and Bobbie Williams were voted offensive captains. Not offensive, like peeee-ew. Offensive like the American military's might, destroying all those that oppose her. This year's approach is mostly the same, with Williams being voted on as a captain rather than Andrew Whitworth, who was the team's captain last season.

Last year the team voted Dhani Jones and Domata Peko as the team's defensive captains. Both players were voted on as captains again this year. Kyries Hebert was named as the special teams captain with the 2009 squad. This year, linebacker Brandon Johnson was voted as a team captain on special teams.

Let's see; 53-man roster, practice squad, team captains. By George, I think the only thing left is to get this season going. No wonder why the weather in Cincinnati is more perfect than perfection.

Chris Pressley?

So when are they going to bring him back? Oh and I’m happy about the team captains – surprised a bit by Bobbie Williams getting it over Andrew Whitworth. Glad Brandon Johnson got the chance to do Special Teams this year too.

RE: Whitworth vs. Williams

I wonder how much longer Bobbie is planning to play? I agree, Whit seems like the obvious choice for captain. Perhaps this was more of an attempt to reward or show appreciation to Williams for his years of consistent service along a line that has seen a lot of turnover.

I Think

The Ravens got scared that the Bengals would sign TJ next week,thats why they signed him so quick,problem is,now hes garranteed salary,thats why you’ll see teams sign veterans after the 1st week,the salary is not garranteed and can be cut without pay.

Considering he was guaranteed 7 mil regardless, them guaranteeing him 850K or so isn’t too big a deal. I really doubt money, or fear of the Bengals signing him, had anything to do with it.

+1

All the talk about the Raven’s deep crop of wideouts had been not just about Boldin but the fact that they brought in Stallworth too. I know all of the talk about him so far has been positive, but he was out of the game all last year, and now he’s injured for I think a month or so. I was suspect aout him from the beginning. Adding TJ though, is probably a much better move for them. I’m sure he has a little something left in the tank, and I’m sure he’ll look great in practice against the Varsity High School CB’s they have on the field right now, but wait til he shows up on Sunday though and has to deal with our 3-headed monster when it counts. It’s a lonely place walking down Joe Jones Hall.
