Head coach Mike McCarthy said that he didn’t want to name season-long captains earlier in the offseason. Under previous head coach Jason Garrett, the Dallas Cowboys would go into each season with five or six different captains, mostly related to longevity and tenure. That isn’t the case with the new Cowboys.
After selecting three captains for the season opener, Dallas has a brand new set of captains for Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. WR Michael Gallup, DE DeMarcus Lawrence and special teamer CB C.J. Goodwin.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s three captains for today’s game: WR Michael Gallup, DE DeMarcus Lawrence and CB C.J. Goodwin. One to represent team for coin toss.
