5 - Who wins this game and why? With DraftKings Sportsbook listing the Eagles as 6.5-point favorites, what’s your score prediction? And what are your expectations for the rest of this Cowboys season? The Cowboys safeties and corners are pretty good tacklers, but you can find room running the ball. And it takes a very good cover secondary somewhat out of the picture. Running the ball keeps the quarterback out of pressure situations when dropping back, something that fuels the Cowboys defense. Dallas is a fierce pass rushing team, but they are susceptible to a strong ground game. But one thing the Cowboys can struggle with is stopping the run. I would press the receivers and try to make Rush hold the ball a little longer for the pass rush to get home. Well, I think the obvious is quarterback. 4 - What is the Cowboys’ biggest weakness? How should the Eagles be attacking them? That has hurt the Cowboys in the past and could be an issue this week. With a running quarterback like Hurts, and the secondary playing a lot of man coverage, it could lead to some big runs on scrambles. The one thing I worry about though is the Cowboys penchant for lining guys up in odd places and running stunts or overloading one side. Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and Dorance Armstrong are all very capable pass rushers, and Osa Odighizuwa is doing a good job from the defensive tackle position. They have been getting to the quarterback on a regular basis and they really don’t need to blitz to make it happen. The Cowboys biggest strength is absolutely their defense, and more specifically their pass rush. 3 - What is the Cowboys’ biggest strength? How should they be attacking the Eagles? Really, I don’t think you can say anything definitive about his future status as of yet. McCarthy has to win in the playoffs to secure a spot in 2023, and who knows if that would be enough with the long-time love for Payton among the front-office. But don’t get it twisted, if the team starts to crumble later this season, or they blow it in the playoffs again, there will be loud calls for Sean Payton. He’s put all talk of replacing him to bed. He’s got to get a lot of credit for getting this team to win without the starting QB. He’s altered their approach some with Cooper Rush under center, and he’s allowed Dan Quinn to really experiment around on defense and do what he thinks is best to get that side of the ball to succeed. He got them believing that the season was still wide open and that they could do something even with Prescott absent. Not having the team ready for the first game was a knock against him, but since then he has done an incredible job of keeping the team together. 2 - How would you grade the job Mike McCarthy has done thus far? Has he put talks of Sean Payton replacing him to bed or is it still all about what happens in the playoffs? He relies on a strong running game and an elite defense to greatly help him win games. He’s just not one of these uber-quarterbacks who can do amazing things.

He would rather throw it short or away rather than really scramble with it. He’s not a threat to run the ball, at all.

What he doesn’t do well is he’s not going to zip the ball into tight spaces with incredible arm strength. He’s decisive and doesn’t wait around for the pass rush to arrive. He is very good at audibling to the correct play, and he is one of the fastest to get the ball out from snap to throw. Some of that is luck as he’s definitely had some dropped interceptions, but he is very careful with the football. He has yet to turn the ball over in his four games as a starter this year.

You ask what he does well and the answer is he takes care of the ball, gets the offense into the right play, and gets the ball out of his hands avoiding sacks and bad plays. He has had some clutch drives at the end of games to help win it, but in general he is the quintessential game manager. That’s just not who he is as a quarterback.

I wouldn’t say the confidence in Cooper Rush is high as a quarterback who makes plays and leads a team to victory on his arm. 1 - What’s the confidence level in Cooper Rush? He hasn’t exactly been lighting the world on fire but he’s obviously undefeated as a starter. Our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook have all of the odds for this week’s games.
