Tush Push

[Marada]

Ok, lot of great minds out there so lets have at it. How do the Chiefs stop the tush push. My thinking is to line 2 interior linemen on each side of the center. Right behind them with a slight angle to the center are 2 more big body linemen. All eyes are watching the ball. As soon as it starts moving, the 2 columns push forward. The behind linemen pushing the forward linemen. The ends seal the edge while line backers, corners and safeties watch for a pass.

Our O-line isn't as big as theirs. Their tackles and guards are 6-6 or bigger. And Becton, who was on the Eagles last year, is 6'7. Trey Smith is the only guy on our line who is 6'6 or bigger.

..that makes it easier for us because the whole point of the play is low man wins

Too bad. I really don't like seeing players push and pull the ball carrier across the field. Never felt right to me.

Interestingly enough the Bills were the best at it last year yet voted against it.

According to TruMedia, the Eagles have run the play 122 times since 2022 followed by the Bills (74), Steelers (55), and Broncos (52). Philly was successful in picking up the first down or touchdown 105 times.

In 2024, the Bills led the league in conversion percentage:

Bills tush push rate 16/17 94%
Eagles tush push rate 28/34 82.3%

The Bills do not run the play the same way.

Say wut Jeffrey Lurie???

PER ESPN

“Jeffrey Lurie told the room that the fact his team created a play that was so unstoppable the league had to try and ban it was “like a wet dream for a teenage boy.” And no matter what the result of the vote, his team were walking out winners with Super Bowl rings to… pic.twitter.com/wDQqdEXFlb

Do the rings help to push the tush now
Wet dream nostalgia sounds incredibly sad

[htismaqe]

Yeah, that's just gross. Not even sure how else to respond to something like that. What a knob.

[ThaVirus]

What a douche. They didn’t even create it. It’s just a QB sneak sometimes with help. Being able to push your teammates forward was banned for the longest time specifically because it had been done in the past.

Though I suppose we’d all be sucking the Clarks dicks if they said something similar.

[wazu]

Kinda funny that Lurie considers a "teenage boy's wet dream" to be the pinnacle of success.

Thankful to have a class family in the Hunts running this team...

I was not aware of this. How do they run it differently?

[TomBarndtsTwin]

The coaching staff and front office in Philly are just like the fans in Philly.

You can watch 26 non stop minutes of the tush push on the Eagles channel. Everything from the formation to execution is the same the majority of the time.

Buffalo doesn't murder their center and run dual push backs as their go to play. Allen often hesitates and goes left in an attempt to use the strength of their left guard. If you watch enough of them you start to notice the Chiefs DL can twist the Bills version into a stop because of the leftward leaning design, especially when Jones lines up on the line at an angle. If I remember right, Jones nearly got his head torn off trying this technique against the Eagles version in the Super Bowl. There's multiple videos describing how the Chiefs recognized the differences and are able to stop the Bills version much more easily in their latest matchup as compared to just getting steam rolled by the Eagle's straight up smash mouth version.

When the Eagles OL fires off heads down and Hurts runs right over the top of their center with a back on each cheek, it's basically unstoppable because there's zero lateral movement in the design.
