Has CeeDee Lamb convinced you he is capable of fulfilling the number-one receiver role?
Juwan: I have been impressed with CeeDee the past three weeks and what has been equally impressive is Kellen Moore scheming Lamb into the game. I didn’t question CeeDee’s talent, but more so if the talent and scheme could equate to production. There’s not much else I need to see from CeeDee to further prove his case.
Nate: I think so. He still has some progress to make before he belongs in the elite WR conversation, but his response since a brutal Week 1 has been really encouraging. Since Tampa Bay, he has been terrific. Sure, he had that awful drop against New York, but he more than made up for it with a strong overall performance and a one-handed, game-winning touchdown reception in the same game. His route to beat William Jackson for a touchdown on Sunday was a sight to behold as well. He seems to have taken a big step and has been much more consistent after Week 1.
Why do you believe the offense has looked different (if at all) with Cooper Rush at QB?
Juwan: Kellen Moore isn’t overcomplicating things for Cooper Rush. A lot of the offense has been getting the ball to your playmakers in space and letting them fight for extra yards. Now Rush has been impressive when asked to push the ball down the field, but it is apparent that they are not asking him to be as aggressive with the ball as Dak. Once your starter comes back, you would hope having a quarterback you are comfortable with extending plays leads to you being able to take the top off the defense with more consistency.
Nate: Dallas’ play-calling has changed. Dallas has passed more on early downs and has leaned on play-action much more over the last three weeks. These are things you can do not just to help a backup QB and make his life easier, but this makes any QB’s life easier. I think Dallas did these things for Rush with the thought that they could help him out. Well, you should also be trying to make your star QB’s life easier too! When Prescott returns, Kellen Moore should be sure to lean on play action, pre-snap motion, and early down passing for Prescott as well. With Dallas’ offense getting healthier and rounding into form Dallas could have this unit humming upon Prescott’s return.
