Mike McCarthy, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, opts for different game captains each week, a strategy that stands out given the presence of established leaders like Dak Prescott. In the recent game against the Washington Commanders, defensive tackle Linval Joseph was named captain, despite only playing four snaps.

McCarthy praised Joseph's impactful message during the team meeting, highlighting his extensive experience and leadership. This approach emphasizes the importance of communication and influence within the team, reminiscent of the famous saying about EF Hutton, which underscores the value of listening when a respected voice speaks.
