It looks like it'll be "Rush Hour" in Baltimore.
With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans after not practicing all week, Cooper Rush is prepared to take the reins for a 1-3 Ravens team badly in need of a win.
That's a lot of pressure, but nothing Rush isn't accustomed to. After all, he was the backup quarterback in Dallas and has 14 NFL starts under his belt.
"Whenever a franchise QB goes down, it's always a 'sky-is-falling' feeling everywhere you are. It's normal," Rush said Friday.
"We've been here before in this type of situation. It's nothing new, so you lean on that. You get confidence from it, just trust yourself, and if you have to go out there, you can do it."
Rush has a cool, calm demeanor. That's part of the reason why he's 9-5 over his nine-year career.
All week, teammates and coaches have expressed their confidence in him. Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken called Rush a "consummate pro." Tight end Mark Andrews said he knows the offense "extremely well" and is a "really good player."
Rush obviously won't operate the offense the same way Lamar Jackson does, but Monken feels he's devised a game plan to allow Rush to be "effective and efficient."
Rush said the first-team reps in practice this week were "crisp" and he feels the Ravens have a good plan.
"This is what you work for, what you prepare for," Rush said. "Getting the whole week to actually go out and practice it, too, it's a lot better than just coming in with no practice reps in the middle of a game, so I've enjoyed that."
While Monken made it clear the Ravens intend to run the ball more moving forward, don't expect Rush to simply hand the ball off either.
Last season with the Cowboys, Rush averaged the second-quickest time to throw in the NFL (2.55 seconds) and the fewest yards per attempt (6.0), per NextGenStats. But he's also shown over his entire career that he'll be pretty aggressive. He has plenty of weapons in Baltimore to challenge the Texans defense.
"The Cooper game, that's what he does. And I think he's really good at it," Head Coach John Harbaugh said. "He has to play his style, the way he plays, within the offense. He knows the offense, and we're ready to go."
