BlueInCanada Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - The Giants players have elected five team captains for the 2008 season, including three who holdovers from last year. The captains are quarterback Eli Manning and wide receiver Amani Toomer from the offense, middle linebacker Antonio Pierce and tackle Fred Robbins from the defense and punter Jeff Feagles representing the special teams. Manning, Pierce and Feagles were also captains in 2007. Toomer has replaced Shaun O�Hara on offense, while Robbins replaces the retired Michael Strahan on defense. http://www.giants.com/news/headlines/story...?story_id=28352 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hmm I wonder why they replaced O'Hara. Not that Toomer doesn't deserve it and he has certainly earned it. And Fred Robbins seems a bit odd of a choice, but I guess he is the guy the defense looks up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Hara maybe donated the role to him as way of showing respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 That is what I was thinking. The guy who has been a Giant the longest should be a captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 O' Hara doesn't need to be listed as captain, he's the leader in the locker room. Like Posada is with the yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
