Cooper Rush\u00a0was thrust into the starting spotlight for the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0after a\u00a0season-ending hamstring injury to Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n

Rush has gone 3-3 as a starter and has done a good job taking care of the ball through the air with nine touchdowns and just two interceptions.<\/p>\n

However, there is one troubling stat.<\/p>\n

Rush has nine fumbles since taking over as the starter which is the third-most in the NFL. Despite the alarming number of fumbles, Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Scchottenheimer says Rush is not solely to blame and says coaching is part of the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a technique that you use in terms of where the ball is extended and how you have to ride it,\u201d Schottenheimer told reporters, per\u00a0DallasCowboys.com<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s very technical, but [Cooper] was great; he communicated right after the drive and said, \u2018It caught Rico\u2019s hip. It\u2019s on me.’<\/p>\n

\u201cWe emphasize it, but obviously we\u2019re not doing a great enough job coaching it. We\u2019ve got to coach it better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rush also took some blame after another fumble against the Carolina Panthers, but it is clear he has to get the fumbling under control.<\/p>\n

Whether it is Rush not being ready for a starting role, the coaching, or simply a lack of timing and chemistry with the backup signal-caller and team’s starters, it is an issue that everyone knows needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
