If Cooper Rush beats the Eagles

[charron]

Play Rush till Dak has a good week of practice regardless if they beat Philly or not. If Dak still plays like he did game 1 i'd rather he wait to start. Make him show you he's better. You are asking for trouble if dak comes back and plays terrible or gets injured again.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I think he should start the Lions and bears games.
He deserves the opportunity for taking on the heavy lifting of the Eagles game that is definitely beyond a test of his skill set.

Very disappointing that DAk is not going to lead his team in this very important game.

Definitely a reason why no one was allowed to see him throw with his right hand Jerry didn't want people asking why he wasn't going to start when nothing looked the matter with him.

If Cooper beats the Eagles good old Dakko gonna have to ride the bench..........Karma is a cruel mistress!!!

P.S.The contract isn't gonna save his inept......

 

[RonWashington]

It wouldn't be fair to Rush to play him until he loses.

You either play him or you don't.

He shouldn't be pressured to do the impossible and go undefeated or lose his job.

The Dolphins went undefeated and they didn’t have Micah .

 

[D4KADON]

If Cooper Rush and the team wins, we will be happy.

We don't need to overreact or do anything drastic. We acknowledge our success and make smart decisions for the rest of the season,, not dumb emotional ones.

No one is "owed" or deserves anything.

 

[DFWJC]

I won't read the thread as I'm sure (hopeful?) that several have pointed out the very basic Football 101 fact that Cooper Rush alone has never, nor will ever, win a football game.

but he’s “antsy” and has got “pop in his balls”

do those count for nothing?

I prefer snap and crackle in mine.

Just keep Dak out until his hand is fully healed. If they were going to bring Dak back early, this would be the week, not against Detroit or Chicago. He won't be playing this week, so don't take any chances unless he's fully healed.

He won’t beat the Eagirls. The defense will. You Dak haters are ignorant.

MM has repeatedly said that he won’t start until he has a full week of practice. Where do you get this nonsense? PapSmear?

I guess they had no one?

 

[DandyDon52]

Yeah, whatever you say. lol Dak is incapable of winning and producing on offense.

I think you took that wrong. because that made no sense with what I had said.

 

[MojaveJT]

Cooper Rush won’t beat the Eagles. The Dallas Cowboys will.

Considering Rush has given credit to the entire team for the W’s and meanwhile Dak says the Cowboys will go to another level when he gets back.

Say what you want about either but it’s obvious one of them has an inflated ego.

so, he's full of crap? is that what he's saying?

No #. 11 . So Rush just might run the tables .

Thankfully, he won’t get the chance.

Which Dak, though?

One who lit up the Eagles last year, or one who stunk in week one, hasn't had a practice session since then until today, and isn't quite 100% yet?

Stuff I'm reading today feels like "they" don't think Rush can win this one so they're trying to get Dak "ready" with a couple of limited practice sessions.

I'll root for whoever trots out there, but I also find it easy to believe Dr. Jerry is chirping in Mike's ear. He doesn't attend coaches meetings just to pass the time.

Unfortunately brother that is the same DAk The Eagles were just resting all their starters in that last game that we played them in last year

I don't hate Dak. I want him to succeed and lead this team. We need him and his skill set on the field this Sunday against the Eagles.
It's an important game we need to win and I feel that Cooper Rush is overmatched.

In your twisted little mind everyone's a hater that doesn't think exactly like you.

Cooper Rush isn't going to beat the Eagles. He didn't beat the Bengals, Rams, Giants, or Commanders.

Those four games were won because those teams were incapable of scoring 20 points against the Cowboys defense. The Eagles have scored 20 or more points in every game so far this season.

Over the past four games, which Cooper has started, 50% of the Cowboy drives ended with a punt. For those same 4 games the Eagles punted 41.6%

Of the drives in which the Cowboy had to punt, 46.7% of them were 3 and out. That's 31.3% for the Eagles.

The Cowboys scored a TD after 16,7% of their drives. That's 29.3% for the Eagles. Field goals 28.6 for Cowboys, 12.6% Eagles.

What really stands out as a major difference between the two teams is the TD/FG ratio when it comes to scoring. During the four game period in which Cooper has been the starter, the Cowboys offense have scored 6 TD's and 12 FG's compared to the Eagles 12 TD's and 5 FG's

The bottom there is that the Cowboys inability to finish drives and turn them into TD's is in stark contrast to the Eagles success in doing so.

If the Cowboy hope to win, they must score TD's when they get the opportunity, FG's aren't going to help against the Eagles.

As far as hoping that the Cowboys defense can severely limit the Eagles scoring, it should be considered a defensive success if they can hold the Eagles to under 17 points or under. The question is, will that be enough?

The key to getting the Eagles offense off the field is stopping Hurt from extending drives with his running. I think it's obvious that the Eagles will try to use the Cowboys defense aggressiveness against them. The Cowboys cannot afford to overrun Hurt or get sucked into the Eagles backfield only to have to chase down a screen pass.

This one is going to be a tough battle and Cooper Rush must accept a challenge more daunting than simply not losing the game by turning the ball over. Without Cooper's best career game, the Cowboys will be hard pressed to win.
