Twitter: McCarthy: We are preparing for Cooper Rush to start against the Eagles

[john van brocklin]

The Eagles defense will be by far the biggest challenge that Rush has faced in any game as a starter. Their defensive line will get after our OL, and I feel pretty sure their game plan will focus on the run, putting us in long second and third down situations, daring Rush to beat them with his arm.

Its the logical approach.

There was never any chance Dak plays this game.

They'd much rather Rush look bad.

Duh! Any FO favors their big contract QB1.

Dallas offense needs to keep the beagles' defense honest.

It’s hard to call Rush the hot hand when he has barely threw for over 100 yards last week. Eagles allow the 5th fewest yards passing and 10th rushing. We’ll see what happens.

Didn’t Goff hang a pretty amount of yards and touchdowns on the same defense?

 

[JoeKing]

Do I really need to say it? I told you so. Dak threw the ball after practice a few times... left-handed.

 

[noshame]

Like there was ever a chance they were gonna put him out there against the eagles

 

[ESisback]

Yeah, it’ll be hard. That’s the NFL. But we beat the last two Super Bowl teams, the 4-1 Giants, and held Tom Brady’s team to under 20 points. The only good team Philly beat was Minnesota.

Not gonna worry about it.

 

[Teague31]

It’s surprising to me how quickly the Dallas media has turned on Dak. They are now openly saying Rush is the better QB.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Rush won’t look bad either. He’ll do just fine and we’ll have a good chance at winning.

As usual, the results will prove you to be dead wrong.

If Rush looks good then all the better.

You bring Dak back with us 5-0 without him, beating both Super Bowl teams from last year, beating the 4-1 Giants, and the undefeated divisional rival on national TV and the trash arms will be armed and ready the first time we lose a game with Dak.

Sure, we need to be able to run. Eagles know that and will do what they can to stop it. I guarantee you that they don't think Rush can beat them passing the ball. I think they will play the outside receivers and clog up the middle of the field. Rush may have some chances to make a big play on deep balls. Can Lamb and Gallup beat the one on one coverage consistently?

Even when Prescott isn't playing - it's his fault.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will throw passes Wednesday for the first time since undergoing surgery on his right thumb, but he is expected to miss his fifth straight game Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

"We are preparing for Cooper [Rush] to start against the Eagles," coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday.

"You've got to trust the medical process," McCarthy said. "This is a 17-game season. That was my immediate response. I know Dak didn't want to hear it, but you got to make sure that he's right for the long haul, too."

i heard a lot of things are being thrown and broken in the Siriani office

What are “the trash arms”?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

What are “the trash arms”?

Besides Dak's you mean?

Let us go 5-0 with Rush and then Dak stink it up and we lose and you'll see em for the first time since.... well....the last time Dak was in pads walking off the field hurt.

Bro no one is seriously saying that

Can they not drop the ball when they do ?

 

[RonWashington]

I never expected Dak to play this week, I still believe it may be 50/50 next week.

Next week at home Lions should be a good place to get back in the saddle rack up 300 plus three TD’s send Detroit back home spiraling into another nose dive .

Uh, okay?

Thanks for confirming that you’re rooting against Dak, and therefore against the Cowboys.

Supposed “Dak stans” like myself have been rooting for Rush wholeheartedly. Because I’m a Cowboys fan. If Rush never gives the job back to Dak, GREAT - that means Rush is balling and the team’s winning!

You’re not a Cowboys fan. You have zero life so you troll here because nobody pays attention to you in the real world. Dak’s success in life makes you feel like an inferior runt.

You also know NOTHING about football. “TAYLOR HEINICKE WILL LIGHT US UP, YOU GUYS!!!”

Eagles fans happy to hear this news.

Don't even make me go there, LOL
