Twitter: Teams now have a lot of tape on Cooper Rush because of his starts

[john van brocklin]

Exactly the opposite of what they will do, if they aren't already doing it. Take away the middle and make him throw to the sidelines. Essentially what they did to Dak before we traded for Cooper -- Cooper is the reason the field opened up again after his two TD game on big plays.

Yep this has been pointed out several times LOL

The Eagles are going to try to stop the run. It is not just about Rush, it is also about the Cowboys WRs. I am pretty sure the Eagles think they can cover the Cowboys WRs with their CBs one on one. We are going to see a lot of 8 and 9 man fronts. Gallup and CeeDee are going to have to beat the CBs for Rush to have a good day.

This might be a good game to unleash Hendershot in the passing game.

I agree, WR can make Rush's job a bit easier by running good routs, making the catch and creating big plays.

 

[Proof]

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 is. "parsons will be accounted for at all times" lol. guy loves to talk. he's the geek version of dan campbell

Yeah and just as it was for NY Giants when they had LT, teams could account for LT and slow him down but then the rest of the Giants defense would get a chance to eat. Team will pay so much attention to Parsons and allow Armstrong, DLaw, Flowers and others eat.

Every football fan worth a nickel knows this is how things work. The Eagles must think their fans are really stupid to announce something so blatantly obvious to make them feel better about their chances.

 

[Xeven]

They cannot start Dak on a game we might lose.

 

[Einstein]

So they have 16 more passes on tape than the Rams had... really that much more of an advantage?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

What on earth are you babbling about.

I figured you wouldn't get it.

Did you not say "progressively worse"? Every single game? And yet we are beating very good teams.
If by Detroit and Chicago...if...in your opinion...he is "progressively worse".....then we might have a problem.

Until then...keep the wins coming against Super Bowl teams.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

All the tape in the world cannot help if you simply go out an execute your game plan. Mistake free football, no turnovers, defense holds up and the special teams works it's tail off to keep the field position battle from slipping.

 

[ESisback]

Teams have lots of tape on Jalen Hurts, too.

 

[Silverz1972]

I know fangio has dak Prescott’s number. https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/broncos-cowboys-dak-prescott-vic-fangio-caden-sterns/

I expect the same game plan.

 

[triplets92]

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.

I am not as high on the fact as others are that we win this game. What makes Cooper comfortable is not having to get off his spot as much. A lot of his throws are against clean pockets or pockets that only requires him to step up before the throw. The Eagles can do that and do it often. That will be their key to success. Make Rush throw on the run and allow their DB’s to make plays on the ball. If we can average around 4 yards a touch and have Pollard and Zeke carry the ball 25-30 times combined then we will have a chance at neutralizing the Eagles plan on Def.

I'm with you on this. Yes it's a big game and a divisional game that we'd love to win. But people trying to turn it into a defining game for the season are way off base. The Cowboys schedule is going to soften up quite a bit after this stretch. I mean 4 of their first 6 opponents were playoff teams last year. After this week they will only have 3 such games remaining. The Titans, Philly and Green Bay. Unfortunately the Eagles schedule isn't much tougher as they only have the Steelers, Titans, Green Bay and Dallas left as playoff teams from last year. Obviously the Steelers have taken a huge step backwards this year. But frankly I just don't think the Eagles are as good as the Cowboys if both teams are at full strength. And folks can scoff all they want, the biggest advantage the Cowboys have had over the years has been Dak. This year it's the defense. Philly is giving up 5 yards per carry on the ground. If that doesn't scream RUN THE DAMN BALL in Moore's ear all day and even when he goes to bed there is something seriously wrong with him.

I got it. It was stupid then and it’s still stupid now. He also beat the giants who were absolutely terrible last season. Does that mean anything for this season?

no. It means nothing. The same nothing as the two other teams you listed.

So basically....you are saying nothing means nothing without saying what means anything. Got it

Usually with QBs it takes one whole season and one offseason for DCs to really gameplan.
Thats why most of them go into a so-called sophomore slump. IMO second and third year is very telling for an QB.

Twitter poster Eliot-Shorr-Whatever should know this. Especially if he thinks his opinion has any kind of worth for the public.

 

[JoeKing]

The Cowboys have progressively gotten better each game while their opponents have progressively had less success at stopping them. These trends fly in the face of the Eagles' coach saying the more tape that is acquired of Cooper Rush, the better chance his opponent has to defeat him. What he said sounded good but the results bear out the truth. The Cowboys are coming to Philly to take away that undefeated status and the statistical lead in the NFC East.

As you say, not the season DEFINING GAME, however, with a comparative schedule (and us potentially two games behind) it'll make the Eagles game on Christmas Eve critical or we may have to go back to Lincoln in the play-offs. Then again, if the season ended now we'd interestingly be playing 49ers at home in the WC-Round.... which with a fit Dak and Zeke may give a different outcome from last year.

On the RUN THE BALL comment, that's what we've been doing with KM/Rush.....lets hope Dak heeds this changing gameplan when he comes back. Remember Helman seemed to indicate that it was Dak that changed up to passing plays vrs the Buccs.

Regardless of 'blame' (only mentioned as you appeared to be focusing KM as the fault), we do need to stick to the more balanced and run early approach for the rest of the season.

The meltdown in Philly is going to be epic, if Cooper Rush outplays Jalen Hurts and an Eagles team who their fans have been putting into the Super Bowl already, loses at home to a backup QB and their most hated rival.

God i pray that happens.
I live in south jersey, eagles country. It would be fantastic.

 

[CWR]

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

This is the point I normally join in piling on KM. This time I have to give him credit because he did adjust when Dak went down. I'm as shocked as anyone. So maybe he has a game plan for Philly, although I suspect we simply need our starting QB to win this one.
