Defenses are now going to try and game plan more to take away what makes Cooper Rush the most comfortable. Question is can Kellen Moore adjust to what they are doing to help out Rush or can Rush do just enough to throw off defenses who are going to try and put the game solely on his arm and QB talents.

Make him throw over the middle.
They will take away the sideline throws because he cant put enough zip on those types of passes.

This isn't breaking news.. Every game a player plays writes another page in the book on that player. I do think Rush has shown he can make throws if they can protect him. But one wonders how well they can protect him against a front seven that is at least as good as the Rams though lacking that singular player like Donald. They figured out pretty early that they could not protect him against the Rams and pounded the rock. I think they need to do something similar this week. Pick your spots to throw it.. run the rock and play defense.

Yes. That’s why rush has gotten progressively worse every single game

the question “can Kellen Moore adjust” has been asked several times before and the answer has always been a resounding NO

I mean, he’s averaging 225 yards passing in 3 of 4 starts - the Rams game was a bit of an anomaly. I’d expect them to blitz more, maybe press the receivers, but idk what more film is suppose to unearth. The offense has been vanilla, as long as Rush has time he just makes the right throw.

Siriano seems to be talking quite a bit. Of course, our coach last week said, "We're nobody's underdog," so this seems fairly tame in comparison.

So far I think Rush has proven he can complete passes if the defense focuses on stopping the run. I think the Eagles will do the opposite. They'll challenge the Cowboys to run, and make Rush throw into coverage.

I think quite the opposite. Everybody has seen Rush struggles with the fastball throws outside the numbers. DC's will probably take away the middle throws and force everything to the sidelines.
Will Rush be able to adjust? I guess we'll find out if that's what they plan.

Blah, blah, blah..that mofo better be looking at that defensive tape and stop worrying about Rush. He's an offensive coach, if I was DQ I'd use this as bulletin board material.
He's the Head coach

lol.there is no secret here,do what the Rams did and make him throw to the sidelines.He can barely complete a 10 yard pass accurately if you ask him to hit those outside the hash marks.
