Rush joined the roster only 15 days before the game. Since then, he's shown command and the ability to keep Tommy Rees' offense on schedule. His ability to pick up the playbook in that short amount of time is why he's been able to stick as a backup in this league.

Rush showed command of the offense and playbook mastery in preseason action.

Rush has shown command of Tommy Rees' offense and the ability to keep it on schedule during preseason; his ability to pick up the playbook in just 15 days before his first game is why he's been able to stick as a backup in the league. While he had a rough outing against the Broncos, he has demonstrated competence running the offense.
