Cooper Rush found himself in the spotlight for the Dallas Cowboys following a season-ending hamstring injury to Dak Prescott.

Rush went 3-3 as a starter and did a good job moving the ball through the air with nine touchdowns and just two interceptions.

However, there is a worrying statistic.

Rush has nine fumbles since taking over, which is the third-most in the NFL. Despite the troubling number of errors, Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer says Rush isn’t entirely to blame and that coaching is part of the problem.

“There’s a technique you use when it comes to where the ball is put out and how you have to ride it,” Schottenheimer told reporters, according to DallasCowboys.com. “It’s very technical, but (Cooper) was great; He called in right after the ride and said, “It hit Rico on the hip.” It’s up to me.’

“We emphasize it, but it is obvious that we are not doing it well enough as coaches. We need to train it better.”

Rush also took some blame after another fumble against the Carolina Panthers, but it’s clear he needs to get the fumble under control.

Whether it’s because of Rush’s lack of readiness for a starting role, because of coaching, or simply a lack of timing and chemistry with the team’s backup signal-caller and starters, it’s an issue that everyone knows needs to be addressed .
