So he understands his role, it's not as though he's acting like a jerk or anything.
Yep I agree.

No player is going to admit his game is slipping, and I'm sure that in his mind he just doesn't see it. That's the athlete's mentality.

But how can he not see it when he gets pancaked to the ground and run over-top of to the QB by some guy who's name I doubt anyone here knows? It wasn't like he was being beat around the end by Randy White with the one-arm-whip.

Looking at the tape and saying "oh yeah, I should have used this technique and I would have beat that move" is even less credible for veterans than rookies. Just admit you need to step it up and earn your job back.

Great point. Should he tell the press, "Jeez, I just can't cut it anyone, I should hang em' up"?

i disagree with this. i think you can have anyone be a captain, as long as they have the right leadership skills, and have the respect of their teammates. it shouldn't have anything to due with talent

Your Captain is a leader of the team, and happens to be a field general. How can you possibly achieve that if your not even a starter or for that matter be on the field? Which at this time JJ is not.

Well I'm trying to think of anyone in any sport who is a Team Captain but not a leader in some capacity on the field.

Sorry I posted before reading the previous post about Darrell Green. I think that shows the respect the players had for him.

Re: Heyer will Start against Giants
Well, it was his 9th season in 2007. Which makes it his 10th season now.

I don't understand what is being contested here. People have looked it up and Jansen is in his 10th year.

What's the big deal. 10th year 11th year. They shouldn't even count the two full years he spent on IR.
