As an alternative, Mike Macdonald’s Seahawks are doing weekly sport captains, an identical to what the Baltimore Ravens do underneath John Harbaugh. often with some form of theme for a minimum of one participant.
This week, beginning heart Connor Williams will get captain duties towards his former staff, the Miami Dolphins. Williams was Miami’s heart for 2 seasons earlier than signing with Seattle in August. He’ll be joined by final week’s hero Jason Myers and star cornerback Devon Witherspoon.
How does Coach Macdonald decide the captains? Right here’s his reply from Friday:
“There’s no secret method behind it,” Macdonald mentioned. “It’s a mix of men who’re doing an amazing job, guys who’re attempting to construct up and provides a chance to have a voice with the remainder of the staff, guys you wish to acknowledge that deserve a chance to do these issues. So, that’s actually the thought behind it. It’s just about that straightforward. The fellows know who the leaders are. You don’t want the title to be the chief of the staff, but it surely’s necessary to construct everyone else up I feel.”
After all, you may select to imagine there’s a secret method that should be discovered, form of just like the Krabby Patty in Spongebob Squarepants.
