The Dallas Cowboys are certainly Mike McCarthy’s team in 2020. Several of the traditions that have been engraved in the brains of the players, front office and the fan base over the last 10 years of Jason Garrett’s tenure are being washed away.
One in particular, the naming of captains for the entirety of the season, is a clear edict for the players to continuously earn their accolades. Prior to the kickoff of the season, the team has announced who will have the honors for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams. Quarterback Dak Prescott, linebacker Jaylon Smith and long snapper L.P. Ladouceur will done the captain’s C on their jerseys.
The Cowboys are changing it up this year. They will have different captains for each game. The three tonight: QB Dak Prescott, LB Jaylon Smith, LS L.P. Ladouceur

Prescott is a clear and obvious choice as the commander on the field. Smith has had a ridiculously strong training camp with a move to weakside linebacker. Ladouceur is the longest tenured Cowboys player, entering his 16th season.
All three players have Pro Bowl experience on their resume.
