After last season, Rex Ryan ditched the idea of naming captains as the head coach of the Jets. Santonio Holmes and Mark Sanchez fought as captains last season and the team finished a disappointing 8-8. This year, Ryan is ditching the captains. "I think in a situation like that where there are no captains named, it kind of forces guys to step up and take ownership," guard Matt Slauson said, "and guys like Brandon [Moore] have done a phenomenal job with that. Mark [Sanchez] has done a phenomenal job, obviously. Those are just the offensive guys. It kind of forces those guys to step up and all the rest of us respect them even more because that 'C' is not just given to them."
