Should Eagles' tush push be banned? It was not long ago.
People are starting to get tired of the once illegal "Tush Push".

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/should-...222308344.html

Should Eagles' tush push be banned?

Frank Schwab

The NFL has banned plays or strategies for different reasons through its history.

Sometimes it's for safety reasons. Once in a while it's because a play becomes uncompetitive. Oftentimes the league bans things just for the aesthetics of the game.

The Philadelphia Eagles' "tush push" checks all of those boxes.

When the Eagles have faced a third- or fourth-and-short the past two seasons, everyone knows what's coming and everyone knows it'll work. The Eagles align with Hurts under center, with a couple of teammates right behind him. On the snap, Hurts sneaks it forward and gets pushed from behind by his teammates. Just about every time it's a first down or a touchdown. Even if it's stopped once, good luck stopping it a second time.

It's pretty much unstoppable, and the frustration of it has gotten to the unfortunate point in which people are wishing harm on Hurts.
Eagles run tush push better than anyone else

It's surprising the NFL didn't ban the play last offseason. Like plenty of other strategic innovations, like the shift in Major League Baseball, sometimes leagues tip their cap to inventive teams and ban a play or strategy for the good of the game.

But the play stayed. And the Eagles keep running it. Hurts was asked about it Wednesday, and didn't seem to care if it got banned.

But, until that happens, the Eagles are still going to be unstoppable doing it.

"I have no thoughts on it," Hurts told the media Wednesday, when asked if the tush push should be banned. "We're the only people that are doing it as well as we are. There was a guy who wanted me hurt for it, too."

Hurts didn't clarify what he meant by the last comment. Though Wednesday, Chris Simms of NBC Sports said that if he was a defensive coach he'd be asking his players to go "headhunting" on the quarterback. Yikes.

Nobody, except maybe Simms, is saying the Eagles are doing anything wrong. It's within the rules and the Eagles take advantage of it.

Maybe it will take an injury to get the NFL's competition committee to reconsider. There seems to be a reasonable risk of injury when a large man is being pushed from behind into a scrum of much larger men. It's not a play that has a lot of suspense, after the Eagles run it over and over to success.

Then again, maybe if you ban the push, the Eagles would still be as good at quarterback sneaks. Having a quarterback with an insanely strong lower body running behind the NFL's best offensive line is probably going to work too, as former NFL defensive lineman J.J. Watt pointed out.

We're going to see a lot more of the play this season. But let's not insinuate that Hurts deserves to be injured just because the Eagles found a practically unstoppable play.

I don't see why ANY ball-carrier should be allowed to be assisted.

Chris Simms basically said teams should head hunt Jalen Hurts when he does it so now he's being raked over the coals.

It would be kinda funny if that QB happened to be Zach Wilson, not wishing injury on him, hope he has a wonderful healthy career whatever's left of it, but just to see the Jets not file a complaint with the league, but the league saying we've got to ban this, but the Jets saying Nah we're good, thanks for having it in place.

They say you can't pull but I've seen that happen too without getting called in a scrum like this.

My vote is for Leo Chenal to take the snap. Strongest guy on the team, pound for pound.

Sherman sums it up perfectly. If it's illegal on D and special teams because of safety concerns, it should be illegal for the O too.

Yeah. How come the D can't push another player higher to block a field goal?

It's illegal to pull, but Gaydirt did it several times Monday night.

I think they would if they could. But reality is that he is pretty well protected from people wanting to blast him. No one is getting free run at him. The pile is moving forward not back. As many times they have run it if some team figured out how to blast him it would have happened.

The front defensive players need to chop down on the Olineman. Do that enough times, people are getting injured.

That’s what Philly fans call it.

Probably originated from the prison they had in the previous stadium.
