From the article

Neither is known for arm strength, and making plays out of the pocket is a crapshoot. Rush did show a slight willingness to push the ball compared to Tua, who had an ADoT (average depth of target) of 3.3, to Rush's 6.3.

Rush's arm talent and pocket mobility are similar to Tagovailoa's; slight edge in downfield willingness.

Rush and Tua Tagovailoa have been indistinguishable this summer in terms of physical ability and skill sets; neither is known for arm strength, and making plays out of the pocket is unreliable for both. Rush showed a slight willingness to push the ball downfield (ADoT of 6.3) compared to Tua's 3.3, though Tua has an edge in processing speed.
