Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is 3-3 as the starter stepping in for the injured Dak Prescott, and with each passing week, he looks to be getting more comfortable running Mike McCarthy’s offense.
With Dallas now 3-1 in its last four games, Rush has been able to be the “bus driver” that helps steer the ship in the right direction.
Now that Cooper is beginning to feel settled as a starter with live NFL bullets flying, McCarthy has noticed one aspect of Rush’s game that seems to have improved over the last month: his ability to make adjustments at the line of scrimmage.
“You have to have it in today’s game,” McCarthy said on 105.3 The Fan . “There’s so much that goes on at the line of scrimmage, there’s so much that goes on with your cadence, defenses are holding the disguise longer than ever, it’s very common to see things held to the snap of the ball, particularly with the safety. So it’s a very big part not only the run game but also the protection, adjustments, he’s exceptional. He does an excellent job of that and keeps us in favorable plays.”
