Tush Push - Do the rules apply for this play or not? Doesn't seem like it (2 Viewers)

[BassNBrew]

Cousins much squat more than Hurts because he doesn't need no pushey in the tushey.

 

[dickey moe]

If this were your team doing it you'd love it.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

don't think Eagles fans are as important to anyone else as you do.

No squat Tuesdays for Kirk!

To those that think I'm an Eagles hater ...I'm at the Westgate cashing an Eagles ticket today.

I love the Tush Push!!!

Only a mush would be against the tush push.

I feel I need to add an addendum to my post now.

 

[DropKick]

2 seconds left in the half and Eagles run the Tush Push for a TD. Yeah baby!!!!

The NFL needs to figure out a way to expand this play. We need more of this.

So much better than a FG, innit?

Keep on trolling...

 

[belljr]

They showed a stat during the game. I don't remember the exact numbers but it was something like 3 or 4th and 1 conversion percentage. It was something like

Philly 95%
Rest of league 82%

 

[renesauz]

Justin Fields must squat 600 lbs to get that Tush Push 1st down mid 1st quarter.

Also, loved how the two officials each had the play marked vastly different (a yard+ difference). One was a 1st down, one had it short. 1st down!!

Yeah...officials don't stand a chance with that mass of humanity around the ball.

How is it worse than any other typical short-yardage play? If there was no pushing, would it be any better?

Yes, it would be better without the pushing.

Cool, let's make it a penalty to push the ball carrier. All ball carriers.

only if it's also included you cant push from behind a defender on a gang tackle. I mean....how is it any different?! And it's done constantly (INCLUDING against the tush push)

No, I posted an honest reply. I love it when the Eagles convert a 1st down or score touchdowns. I love them so much better than a punt, turnover on downs, or a FG. A troll job would be the post I replied to, that was nothing but sarcasm strictly designed to elicit a response.

Checking in for weekly tear collection.

Jalen Hurts and the Offensive line is just unstoppable.

'member when the victory formation used to be considered unethical?

I 'member.

Jets vow to be ready for Eagles' unique tush push formation

The Chiefs game fake FG Tush Push was horrible. The officials couldn't tell when the play ended, a player had their helmet ripped off in the mass of bodies, and there was nothing to review because you couldn't see where the ball stopped or when the officials blew it dead.

Get rid of this crap.

If only Noah Gray could squat 700lbs

Team's coached by Robert Saleh, the defenses, they tend to get "a lot" of roughing the passer penalties. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few cheap shots from them on both the Tush play and regular drop backs.

Because a team is bad at executing it, therefore it should be banned. Got it.

 

[ohio#1eaglesfan]

Kelce is the key to the play. Fastest center in the league

 

[need2know]

Just watched the Vikings run it. They barely got it but it worked. No one was hurt

 

[trader jake]

4th and goal from the 2.

No Tush Push, no score on the Eagles QB run. Despite the offensive line and QB squat prowess.

Maybe it's the play. ?? Edit: TD Eagles. Who needs the push!?!!!

 

[OU#1]

Cardinals just ran it twice. Stuffed on 3rd down, and 4th down got a penalty for lining up in the neutral zone.

 

[Terpman22]

The Giants would have won their game last night if they just could execute this play correctly. No way in the world if the Eagles get the ball on the 1 with 0 seconds left and a TD to win, they DO NOT try this play.

It was the 3. That's why they didn't use it.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

The Miami version yesterday was a disaster
I’d call it a Fake Tush or a Kardashian

 

[unckeyherb]

Birds Ran the tush push at the goal line yesterday and Jalen fumbled. Lined up for it again later in the game and faked it, with Swift sweeping to the left, in for a TD. Great stuff.

 

[trader jake]

Both of the Eagles guards had their helmets in the neutral zone for tonight's version of this monstrosity. No call.

So was the defense. Flag.

Get rid of this RUGBY play already.

 

[JohnnyU]

I agree with my stepson, if they are going to continue to allow it they should allow the defense to line up over the center. They have that rule to protect the center, so allow that or get rid of allowing the tush push.

Isn't that rule only for kicks?

Yes, to protect the long snapper as he is usually not otherwise fit for the NFL.

The Eagles have a play tree out of the tush push that they'll start using if teams can design a counter to it.

 

[need2know]

Can't wait to see the play again later today. Could barely sleep last night in anticipation

 

[Snoopy]

Lane Johnson now questionable (groin)

I wonder if Hurts could be susceptible to a concussion with this play if teams start to target him?

 

[Deamon]

Baker just got hurt on a traditional QB sneak.

Tush Push is way safer for players.

Uh, the defense can already line up over the center as long as it's not a kicking play.

Yes, to protect the long snapper as he is usually not otherwise fit for the NFL.

Also the long-snapper often has to have his head down, looking at the target, especially on punts - or at least I had to when I did it a million years ago. The long-snapper is essentially in a defenseless position as contrasted with the center on a normal play from scrimmage, who has his head up with eyes forward.

 

[unckeyherb]

Lane Johnson now questionable (groin)

While Lane not playing would be devastating to the Eagles, he actually doesn’t make much of an impact on the tush push play. They run Jalen left over Mailata, Dickerson and Kelce on this play.

 

[need2know]

Scored using it again. Beautiful

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Josh Allen stopped at the goalline…..but gets the open field tush push for the TD

Was the forward pass even legal then?

No, but they did have leather helmets.

I've never seen a single play make so many people butt hurt.

 

[Ilov80s]

Commish Wants It Gone

Well now we know what the side of history is. This is the same fining Amon Ra like 5% of his salary for just running into a defender.

 

[Ghost Rider]

This shouldn't surprise anyone. If a team gets too good or clever at something, Goodell wants to stop it.

Jerry Jones probably has his 100 dollar bill wrapped thumb up Rodger's butt

 

[renesauz]

Wont matter if it goes away. Hurts would have converted all but one or two of those as traditional sneaks anyway.

But the REASONING for ditching it is terrible. It's no more risky then any other play, and less so then most. And we've now seen that, NO...NOT every team can run it successfully. Nobody can run it as well as Philly

 

[FarFromHome]

Seems like a weird play for the NFL to get involved with. Isn't a bigger injury risk then any other play in my opinion. I wonder if they are looking at it because other teams can't run it as successfully as Eagles and it gives them a clear edge.
