We’re going to have a lot of new Dallas Cowboys captains this season

It’s game week. The Dallas Cowboys will play a football game that matters on Sunday.

When the Cowboys hit the field for the first for-real matchup of 2018 they’ll be doing so without a ton of previous cornerstones. Gone are Jason Witten, Dez Bryant, and as of last weekend even Dan Bailey. This is a very different team in terms of recognizable faces.

Recognizable faces are more than the covers of programs, more often than not if you’re one of the household names you’re likely a point of leadership on the team. More recognition tends to mean more responsibility and responsibility is reserved for roles like captains.

We discussed potential captains back in May here at BTB, but even more has changed than had at that point. Of the six Cowboys captains last year (Dak Prescott, Jason Witten, Sean Lee, Tyrone Crawford, Orlando Scandrick, Dan Bailey) only three remain. There will be a lot of new C’s handed out compared to previous seasons...

I am more concerned about wins than Captains. Bailey, Witten and Scandrick gone. The Captain that matters most is Dak Prescott. Dak's leadership is what matters most and he is as cool as the other side of the pillow.

The W is all that matters.

 

[AbeBeta]

T Fred is a captain

Heath is a captain

Both those guys have been leaders without the C

I don't care about st.

 

[CCBoy]

It's relevant to see where initial season leadership is being taken. That affects morale fiber of the team...who and why a player is looked up towards.

If the franchise quarterback isn't the head of players, something needs to change...

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Zeke needs his C as does Lawrence.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Heath being a captain sums everything about this football team. Mediocrity sought after, achieved, and rewarded.

 

[CATCH17]

Heath being a captain sums everything about this football team. Mediocrity sought after, achieved, and rewarded.

He’s kinda good though.

 

[Hardline]

Unless you have natural leadership skills then being named captain means nothing.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

Heath being a captain sums everything about this football team. Mediocrity sought after, achieved, and rewarded.

Don't understand the hate Heath has.

 

[Teague31]

Too many captains these days. It waters it down. Should be just 2. One on O and one on D.
Prescott and Lee

 

[gmoney112]

Byron probably

 

[Risen Star]

Zeke should get a C.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Zeke needs his C as does Lawrence.

Zeke needs to mature more first.

 

[AbeBeta]

Zeke should get a C.

No Fred us the leader of the OL. He's getting it. On the field or not

 

[AbeBeta]

Prescott and Lee

Disagree. Good way for the players to give respect to the leaders

 

[Risen Star]

My 6 would be Zeke, Tyron, Martin, Lawrence, Lee, Awuzie.

 

[Risen Star]

I would include Frederick over Martin but not until he's back.

So you basically got drunk today, drank some Cook Aid, got excited about the season, dismissed any issues and are praying and hoping? Wish I could be so confident.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Don't understand the hate Heath has.

Hes a JAG. I don't understand the love. Why? Whats to love? He is everything we don't need to win a championship.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Mine would be Dak, Zack, T Fred or Tyron, T Crawford, S Lee, Jaylon
