The last time we saw the Cowboys was during their horrific 47-9 home loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 7, leaving fans to wonder if head coach Mike McCarthy\u00a0made any serious changes during the bye week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_st448o0np\">Although the Cowboys haven&#8217;t made any roster changes since their last game, McCarthy does have plans for a shift behind the scenes in Week 8.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_0mirmpkau\" class=\"tagStyle_1rck2gq-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_0mirmpkau\">Cowboys News: Mike McCarthy Makes Practice Changes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_99pd3c2sm\">McCarthy told reporters on Monday morning that &#8220;he will tweak the practice structure,&#8221;\u00a0according to\u00a0<em>Dallas Morning News<\/em>&#8216; Calvin Watkins. Rather than focusing on individual player sessions, the Cowboys will put more of an emphasis on team drills.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"style_11gw3bn-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_3zftjffpf\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1848368531336802333&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fsportdfw.com%2Fcowboys-big-behind-scenes-change-before-pivotal-49ers-game-01jaraakyfbd&amp;sessionId=0d879af11c1825cd16bdf5d0e16acac3e621eed5&amp;siteScreenName=TheRealSportDFW&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1848368531336802333\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_elnz85qx4\">Whether or not the emphasis on team exercises remains to be seen, but anything is worth a try at this point. The Cowboys have hardly looked like Super Bowl contenders this season and you can&#8217;t blame McCarthy for trying everything until something sticks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_uk5w9n4la\">At the end of the day, it&#8217;s clear that Dallas has lacked teamwork on both sides of the ball. Offensively, the Cowboys are only scoring 21.0 points per game (20th). Defensively, they&#8217;re surrendering allowing 356.5 total yards (24th) and 28.0 points per outing (31st).<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_29mjngsvd\">Even though the Cowboys have to march into Levi&#8217;s Stadium, facing the 49ers on the road might not be a bad thing. While America&#8217;s Team is 0-3 with a minus-22 average scoring margin at AT&amp;T Stadium this season (32nd), they&#8217;re 3-0 with a plus-8.0 margin in away matchups (5th).<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_vrfyu2xma\">Having said that, Dallas needs a full effort to defeat San Francisco \u2014 regardless of the location. The Cowboys have lost three consecutive matchups against the 49ers, which most recently includes a 42-10 loss at Levi&#8217;s Stadium during Week 5 of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_xiq7xm70a\">The deck appears to be stacked against the Cowboys\u00a0ahead of the pivotal SNF clash.\u00a0FanDuel Sportsbook\u00a0is currently listing McCarthy &amp; Co. as 5.5-point road underdogs against the 49ers in Week 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0are returning to action this week when they visit the San Francisco 49ers for the Week 8 Sunday Night Football showdown.
