The 'tush push' feels like gladiator-style football and should be run every play

I'm here for it. It's such a cool play to watch. It's like major rugby vibes, like the scrum... It's like old school gladiator style man. They should do it every play. Average three or four yards per carry... bleed the clock, like a 12 minute drive.

The NFL did not ban the play, and while nobody ran it every down, its efficiency remained extremely high.

The NFL should not ban the 'tush push' play

I love the tush push. I think if you don't like it, then stop it. Figure out a way to stop it until then. If you don't like it, you can either try to figure out how to make teams stop doing it to you or do it yourself.

The NFL Competition Committee ultimately decided not to ban the play for the 2024 season.

The Eagles would still be 97% successful on the QB sneak even if the 'tush push' were banned

I actually think that if they ban this play, I think the Eagles will still do it. And it will go from like 99% success to like 97% success... 90% of the time [Jalen Hurts] is getting those yards himself.

The play wasn't banned, so this hypothetical couldn't be tested, though the Eagles' sneak success did slightly dip in late 2023.

The Eagles vs. Dolphins game on October 22nd will be the ultimate clash of football styles

I would love to see that matchup though. The Dolphins against the Eagles—two distinct styles of offense. [The Eagles] tush pushing all over the place... the best offense right now in football is a team that plays with everyone out wide in the Miami Dolphins.

This was indeed a massive regular season game that lived up to the hype, with the Eagles winning 31-17.
