To that end, the Cowboys plan to show up at two different clubs’ practice fields in mid-August for shared work sessions. While holding their own camp in Oxnard, head coach Mike McCarthy will take his troops for a joint practice with the Denver Broncos on Aug. 11, and then visit the Chargers in Costa Mesa for a pair of workouts on Aug. 17 and 18.
“Never done this,” the coach explained to reporters this week at The Star. “This is a bit of a leap for me personally, but obviously, I think we’re doing it for the right reasons. I think it’s an opportunity to work against two AFC teams. You’re on grass, all of those things. I look at all of those factors; always have. It’s an opportunity go to Denver before [the teams’ Aug. 13 preseason tilt]. It’s really risk assessment, a lot of it, to work certain players in a practice environment as opposed to playing them in a game. So that’s the driving force for me in talking with the other two head coaches who have done this a lot.”
I got in trouble for posting too much of the article.
