This season the Raiders have been naming captains largely based on performance the previous week. It's been just aobut a 1-for-1 that players who made my list of Ballers from the previous game were named a captain the following week. It's a good idea, I think. And up until this week, they managed to spread around the captains so as not to have a repeat captain.After seven weeks of no repeats, all three captains this week were repeats from earlier in the season. Which begs the question: who are the four starters on each side of the ball who have yet to be named a captain? So, let's answer it.Offensive starters not yet named captainWR Jalen Nailor -- He has just eight catches for 75 yards and has broke 20 yards receiving just once, in the season opener (27).LT Kolton Miller -- He's had a couple really rough games this season. But not all bad. His right tackle counterpart DJ Glaze has had a great season and was named a captain in Week 7.LG Spencer Burford -- Probably the most talked about lineman in terms of those who the should be replaced if they have someone worthy of stepping up.RG Jackson Powers-Johnson/Caleb Rogers -- Splitting time at a position with neither playing well makes it impossible to name either a captain.Defensive starters not yet named captainDT Tonka Hemingway -- He came into the season as the Raiders best interior lineman. He's shown up in flashes, but didn't get his first sack until last week and missed basically two games with a concussion.CB Eric Stokes -- He has held up fairly well at the right cornerback spot. Probably needs a big play on defense to be named captain and has yet to have one.CB Darien Porter/Hezekiah Masses -- Like the right guard job, splitting time and neither playing great.S Jeremy Chinn -- His cohort Treydan Stukes was named a captain after having a big game in Week 6. Chinn has been productive this season, with a couple forced fumbles, a fumble recoveries and a 10-tackle game. The stars just haven't aligned.This article originally appeared on Raiders Wire: Raiders name first repeat captains, so which starters have yet to get title?
