Cowboys Hall of Famer Michael Irvin believes Dak Prescott's return on the heels of a Week 6 loss to the unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles is ideally timed.
Irvin's faith in Prescott, a two-time Pro Bowler, never wavered. But he does agree that Philadelphia made the switch away from Rush much easier for all involved.
And that points to the fundamental difference, Rush generally bound to the pocket while Prescott can make plays on the move – particularly in the red zone and on third down. Dallas also placed far more emphasis on its run game with Rush in the lineup, averaging 29 carries for 128.4 yards. The Cowboys rushed 18 times for 71 yards against the Bucs. In coach Mike McCarthy's first two seasons, Dallas' running backs averaged 23 carries for 101 yards on a per-game basis.
"There's a reason we're paying him $40 million a year and a reason we're paying Cooper Rush whatever we're paying Cooper Rush."
