Seahawks name ex-Dolphins center Connor Williams as Week 3 captain vs. Miami

In case you aren’t already conscious by now, the Seattle Seahawks are usually not doing season-long crew captains like we noticed underneath Pete Carroll. As an alternative, Mike Macdonald’s Seahawks are doing weekly recreation captains, similar to what the Baltimore Ravens do underneath John Harbaugh. often with some type of theme for a minimum of one participant.

This week, beginning middle Connor Williams will get captain duties towards his former crew, the Miami Dolphins. Williams was Miami’s middle 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 formulation behind it,” Macdonald stated. “It’s a mixture of men who’re doing a terrific job, guys who’re making an attempt to construct up and provides a chance to have a voice with the remainder of the crew, guys you need to acknowledge that deserve a chance to do these issues. So, that’s actually the thought behind it. It’s just about that easy. The fellows know who the leaders are. You don’t want the title to be the chief of the crew, but it surely’s necessary to construct all people else up I feel.”

In fact, you may select to imagine there’s a secret formulation that should be discovered, type of just like the Krabby Patty in Spongebob Squarepants.
