Cooper Rush is Capable of a 400 Yard Game, and Win Against the Ram

[KJJ]

If Rush is capable of a 400 yard game it ain’t happening against the Rams.

 

[DogFace]

Just win

No one should assume that the Rams are flatlining it all the way into next season. This team still has a lot of pride not to mention a few stars on defense looking for redemption. Besides, they aren't losing any ground in their division race. It's a four way tie with all teams at 2-2.

And let's base the Cowboys offensive productivity on their consistent performance thus far. The results have been mistake free but low yield. At this same point last season the Cowboys had scored 10 passing TD's and 5 rushing TD's. This year the totals are 4 passing TD's and 2 rushing TD's.

The question is, can the Rams offense squeeze out 24-27 points against Parsons and the rest. I think it's possible. Stafford still has some reliable targets and the Cowboys Achilles Heal is a porous run defense.

It also seems that the Cowboys are willing to resurrect a struggling franchise from time to time.

In the end all this talk is purely academic though. Unfortunately we have a plat guarantee on this game, so a loss is inevitable.

I said he's capable. Not that he would.

And I agree about the game plan, generally. But for some reason I can see this gameplan changing a bit.

Not sure why. But I see Rush passing for a bit more than previous games, this game.

It will change if we start off slow and the defense sucks. Which hasn’t happened since week 1. If we get down 14 then yeah do whatever it takes to win.

Well OP could be right...as long as the Rams put 6 guys out at a time this could be a thing. Why such doubt?

Cooper Rush, with our receivers, couldn’t get 400 yards vs Alabama.

Let’s see him break the 240 mark first. 223 and 215 vs Washington and NYGiants, so 400 vs the Rams is a bet I’ll take all day long. Ramsey will eliminate either Ceedee or the other side allowing them to bracket Ceedee. This is going to be kept close by the defense only if the offense doesn’t turn the ball over. Trying to pass enough to even approach 300 yards is a recipe for disaster.

Today is the day the bombs come out. 400 yards baby!!!!!!

Put Diggs on Cooper Kupp and make stafford beat you. Rush should just play winning football like he has been and not worry about stats.

Remember, we are nobody’s underdog!

 

[TheHerd]

I do agree but might add the Cowboy must shut the run down first. They have been gashed by the Rams run game.

They've been gashed by everyone running so far.

 

[morat1959]

I don’t care if he throws for 100 yards as long as we win. Stats are for losers!

Some of you will say it can't be done. Some of you will make it about some sort of paradigm. But we can only play one game at a time with one QB at a time. And that game is this Sunday, it's Cooper Rush against the Rams.

Make no mistake. The Rams will be looking to stop the run, early and often. And Rush will have to pass it.

The knock on Rush is he may throw an INT or two, if we're talking about his college tape. But he hasn't done much of that in the NFL. Instead, he's usually pretty good about not turning the ball over.

On top of that, though, I'd argue that Moore hasn't really opened up the offense too much in the past few games, and he may need to throttle the offense up just a tad if we're going to beat the Rams.

If there's any game to let Cooper Rush sling it around, it'll be this game. And I can see him surprising the nation and hanging 400 yards on the Rams this Sunday.

Any given Sunday....anyone is capable. Even Jason Garrett had a 300 plus game at one time leading the team in a high scoring game. Gosh, Quincy Carter led the team to playoffs.

It will be tough against the rams....they do have Ramsey so he takes out one of our receivers. Although there is weak link in other areas. The key is our run game and if we are able to get 3 plus yards consistently and get us to 3rd and short yardage situation.....they are tough against the run. And if they can create pass rush and stop the run with front 4 or 5, and drop 6 or 7 into coverage then it would make it hard on us .....

It's going to come down to one or two big plays and who makes them.

 

[zerofill]

I think Gallup will be more involved in his second game back.

Now they already know Cooper likes Noah... so they have to watch him.

The rams defense won't be able to focus so much on a specific receiver.

All 3 have been playmakers now...

 

[Whirlwin]

The sad reality is that Cooper Rush will get the same result that #4 would get.

Exactly, give me the 250 yards balance game.

To add to that... I like the balanced attack, and Rush making a play when he is required too, but not trying to put the whole game on him.

Which is how is how we need it to be. I think we should be able to rush on Martin's side...

 

[KJJ]

He’ll need 369 yards in the second half to eclipse 400.

 

[Pass2Run]

Just win

I agree.

We have to contain Aaron Donald, and have no fear of passing the ball downfield.

We can't wait around to score points. We have to go get them on offense.

I expect to see Rush under center more in the 2nd half.

 

[Starforever]

If Rush is capable of a 400 yard game it ain’t happening against the Rams.

How about 400 centimeters?

 

[G2]

350 to go!

50 yards at the half lmao. Stop with the Rush hard-ons people. He hasn't shown anything in 4 games other than the defense is the only reason we have won games. Hes done about the least you can do to win outside of a crap ton of turnovers but he should have had at least 5-6 INT's by now. Stop acting like hes thrown one time over 70% cause his career average is about 58%. This coaching staff outside of Quinn is crap. OC Moore is overrated and MM has been trash.
