This Team Plays Hard For Rush

[plasticman]

If this defense is a weapon then Micah Parsons is the trigger.

Whoever the Cowboys quarterback is has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the performance of this defense. It should be obvious to all that Micah's return to the field far outweighs Cooper Rush's performance.

How many offenses do you suppose, can average 23.2 points a game for five games and go 4-1?

The average points allowed by the Cowboys for the six games prior to this 4-1 run was 31.5 points a game. They were 1-5.

Over the past 5 games, a 4-1 record, the Cowboys defense has limited opponents to scoring an average of 22.6 points, a ten point shift.

This is the "Parsons Effect" in addition to greater familiarity with Zimmer's system

You’re right. But, how much better is it? Bland and Micah are back, but Diggs and Overshown are now gone, as are Zach Martin and Beebe.

Martin played poorly from the jump. Rush got three games from an RB with 100+ that couldn’t sniff 100 when Dak was in there. The defensive is playing light years better than before Dak was injured, plus Dak had no Cooks and our TE1 was injured.

I’m sorry, there’s just no legit comparison between Dak and Rush imo.

Dak sucks?

Part of it is the new guys (who werent good enough to start before) are playing better than the guys they replaced.
Rush had 0 turnovers got a early lead, and scored enough to win.

It helped that todd bowles gave dallas a easy td drive for their 1st td.

Rush is the better backup of the 2. The other being Dak. Neither will ever make a playoff run or win a SB. We still need a QB!

It's tempting to pump Rush's tires because the fact he's winning is a bad, bad look for Dak the overpaid plug but yeah, he's not the solution either. Couldn't care less about him and won't act like he's a hero because of these meaningless wins. If we had a QB of the future and he was the one winning right now then yes, I'd be happy. But who cares about Rush.

Really? You may want to go back and watch some of the Dak “deer-in-the-headlight” games. What is the reason his teammates ceased to play hard, despite being professionals? Leadership matters.

Your agenda has no proof. Only your biased perception.
And no I am not a big Dak fan. I prefer they move on. But to say the team quit on him is ridiculous.

this team plays hard for mccarthy.

and ceedee lamb.

I can respect that answer.

 

[YerocDeam]

To bad he'll either be on the bench or on another team next year

You’re right. It’s not about Rush; it’s more of an indictment on Dak.

My opinion is completely subjective. But, to claim the team never has quit on Dak seems to be a stretch.

 

[Gator88]

Did you feel this way when he had 46 passing yards against the Eagles and got the breaks best off them?

They kept that game close a lot longer than any of the home games that Dak participated in this season.

Dak has nothing to do with my question I asked. Why is it that I ask a question it’s never answered lol?

All Cooper Rush does is win. Spin it however you want. All he does is win.
Anyone notice the absence of the biggest Dak jock sniffer Rockport has been no where to be found sice Rush has been the starter?

 

[FVSTONE]

This team balls out when Rush plays. Not so much so with the $60 millions dollar man.

It’s too bad Rush didn’t start the season as our starter because he out shines Prescott every time he starts a game. He was threading the needle tonight!!!!! The Cowboys need a better RB to help out Rush!!!!

 

[csirl]

Dak and Rush are similar talent wise. Each is better/worse at certain things, but overall the same.

The difference seems to be that Dak is as devisive in the locker room as he is on CZ. Rush just quietly gets on with the job without the distractions of a publicity crew etc.

BTW neither are starter quality.

Quit on him, no. But they sense the fear. Look at how much more calm CeeDee is. Rush is no great shakes but he just goes out and plays. Dak talks all this nonsense and keeps looking like a fool when he can't back it up. He's a strutting clown. Guys pick up on that.

The Dakstans/Dakvidians/Dak-Over-Dallas fans are the most discredited fanbase in all of sports. They threw tantrums and name called begging for Dak to be resigned. They got their wish and this entire season has been one big in-their-face.

I thought that answered your question. The defense did play well for a while in that game keeping it close past halftime despite getting nothing from the offense.
