The NFL decided not to ban the tush push! This is awesome because it is a staple in the Eagles offense. The Birds shouldn’t be punished because they do something well and the other 31 teams suck at it. It felt like the Tush Push ban was inevitable, but it’s still here.
All other teams and fans do is complain about the Tush Push. Maybe instead of complaining, they should try it. It’s not the Eagles fault that all 31 other teams don’t have the capability to push their QB a yard or less. Do Eagles fans ask for Mahomes to have to sit out on late-game comeback drives because he’s good at it? Do Eagles fans ask for Justin Tucker to stop kicking field goals because he’s good at it? The answer is no, and other teams and fans need to stop complaining just because the Eagles are good at it.
People around the NFL world act as if the Tush Push is some overpowered play that is cheating. If it’s that overpowered then why can’t everyone do it? The play is no different than any other version of the QB sneak. At some points last season the refs were even trying to intervene with it. They called Jason Kelce offsides several times when he obviously wasn’t. It seemed like the NFL was doing everything they could to penalize the Eagles for being good at something.
It shouldn’t be the Eagles fault that NFL teams aren’t innovative enough to come up with a way to stop the Tush Push. If they want it gone, maybe instead of wasting time complaining they should learn how to stop it. If they don’t want the Eagles to run it, then maybe opposing defenses should stop letting the Eagles offense get into a position to use the play.
The Tush Push is here to stay and everyone needs to learn to like it.
