IRVING, Texas Following a 36-18 Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears, complete with five turnovers, head coach Jason Garrett was probably yearning to get his team out on the practice field to address the things that went wrong. Thats all well and good, but Garrett has to work around the rules of the NFLs Collective Bargaining Agreement.
There was a time when coaches could handle their teams practice schedule in whatever way they liked. However, the NFL Players Association now mandates that players must receive four consecutive days off at some point during their bye week. Following the Monday night game, the short week makes it even more difficult to work in the four days of rest. No matter how you dice it, the Cowboys players and coaches will have some time to sit around and think about their performance against the Bears.
