Peppers as Captain

[Panther Boyd]

Do you think that the team should elect Pep as one of the team captains this season after the hold out? Personally I say..........nah!

[Kettle]

Beason will be the captain. if two come from the D then the second will likely be Harris...maybe Gamble

[Crixtala]

Sure. Peppers was making business moves this offseason; nobody will understand that better than the other players on the team.

[PhillyB]

beason and maybe harris, definitely no pep. he's not leadership material, whether he holds out or not.

Beason. Harris. Smith. OTAH!!!!

[Scrumtrilescent]

That's what you yell with your O-Face, isn't it?

OTAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[mantal]

Peppers is a helluva leader on the field, he just doesn't want to be a public leader. Watch video, he's very vocal calling his team mates up, etc. He's just too shy to have that roll with the public...

this whole thing with fans getting their feelings all hurt because pep wanted to leave is getting old

and it's not a hold out by any means

remember the '07 fiasco where richardson had a talk with peppers and asked him to step up and be a leader, and then he was made a team captain? peppers was completely against it. he didn't want to be a leader, he just wanted to play football.

correct me if i'm wrong, but that's how i remember it

From an outsider's perspective, which is all most of us have, Harris and Beason seem like the true leaders of the defense. Beason was a captain last year, so he'll get the vote again. The other spot is between Harris and Peppers. It will most likely go to Peppers, due to his seniority with the team and overall prominence.

[Jrock88]

Jake, Beason, and Chris Harris would be my picks.

[Doyle]

Peppers will be a captain. Mark my word.
