who should be our defensive captain for 2013?

Personally i'd go with Blackburn. Rolle is a bit of a loose cannon for my tastes. Blackburn still gives it all on the field, has great football intelligence that helps offset his slightly diminished physical talent, and gets fired up and is willing to punch someone in the mouth without being a risk to tear apart the locker room...

what has rolle done to give you the notion he would rip the locker room apart? blackburn is basically a player off the street,,,may not even be on team,,not the man for the job,,he's a sentimental favorite,,not a captain.

If Tuck and Webster will be back, Blackburn should be a shoe in.

Have you seen any evidence to suggest Rolle has torn the locker room apart? All I've seen is agreement from those players who have said anything.

I seem to recall a number of meetings with the head coach after various media outings due to what he's said.

You have to do more than flap your gums ... you have to lead by example.

Rolle doesn't do that.

Might want to look at the stat sheet first before you make that statement...

Rolle, and I think it's because of him taking it upon himself to not only address the media ( which we all know he can sometime misfire with comments, but that will improve with more practice), but to also deal with The coaches on a level of laison for his team mates. He's not intimadated by titles, and has respect for them, and ..mostly because he has a sense of accountability. I give Blackburn all the credit for PLAYING at an inspirational level. Chase has done nothing but demonstrated he IS worthy of wearing the Giants uniform, but, not sure he can lead a team with anything of a verbal mission statement, as Rolle can. Rolle likes to talk, Chase likes to play...both are great candidates. But, Rolle is a natural at it.

+1.. Rolle comes to play though.. you can believe that!
