Stopping the 'Tush Push' (Eagles QB sneak)

[Rockport]

It's a hard Play to stop. Our best chance is to limit their opportunities to employ it. Simply put, we need to do a better job of keeping them out of third and short. If you load up to stop it they will just run something else out of that formation.

Easier said than done. There’s always going to be 3rd and inches or 4th and inches.

At some point Philly is gonna line up for that play, Hurts is gonna move forward and than pitch it to a back. Trick play and catch everyone sleeping

The play is easy to defend if it's third and long. Hurts has to be punished while running the ball.

Outside pressure and Lawrence and Parsons are formidable there.

No problemo mi amigo.
I'm a rugby fan so that perked my ears, but no worries.

I never played rugby, but my brother did. I always ragged him cause he played the Hooker position.

In the after game 'celebration' at the bar, the biggest arse that day was awarded the 'bladder' award, a deflated rugby ball. If anyone on the team caught him without the ball any time that week, he had to carry it for a second week.

Just put yourself in a position by having a big enough lead that if the Eagles run that play it won't mean anything.

Check, roger, hooooah! Forged in fire came out steel!

Break both of Hurts’ legs. Problem solved

I'm looking for NFC East defensive coordinators to make that a priority #1 or close to it this training camp. And my Spidey sense says we're gonna start seeing back-up O-linemen employed on defense so that there's a better chance to neutralize the surge. Might even be the case that you take a back-up OL who distinguishes himself in Oxnard as your best D-lineman and give him a place on the 53-man that he otherwise wouldn't have been awarded.

Yes, no, maybe?

Josh Ball, we may have a real role for you yet, son.

That's why Dan Quinn got Isaac Alarcón to move from Oline to DTackle.

It needs to be banned. This isn't Rugby.
The owners are just being stupid, or are they sucking Jeffrey Lurie's junk? I'd like to know what dirt he has on them that they keep letting him win all these negotiations and trades!

Of course it leaves you a little more vulnerable, but don’t give them the easiest play in football. The Jumbo QB sneak!!

Like you said. Put 3 big bodies inside the G’s. Get a good jump on the ball, get low and at least stale mate. Do not get pushed back. Almost EVERY team gets pushed back.

I think getting your biggest hardest hitting LB to come over the top and hit the QB like a missile is the way to stop that play

Eagles are taking a step back this season, we will not need to be concerned over it.

 

[MyFairLady]

Maybe we could find a big strong QB who is willing to do what it takes to get a first down when it really matters.

I think they're taking a step back, too. They're not going to have a losing season, but they're not winning 14 games.

It's really hard to stop.
They do it no huddle most of the time, which limits your sub opportunities, and that Oline is just so good.
They get so low and Kelce is just so damn good. He's actually very undersized but just gets how to use leverage and is so high IQ. And then Hurts has great leg strength.
One thing that may be interesting is the loss of Seumalo.
Last year they had Kelce then 2 pro bowl Guards, and both were huge and strong. That combined with getting so low just made them so effective at that play.
Replacing Seumalo with Jurgens could, in theory at least, hurt that paly for them.
Seumalo and Jurgens are listed about the same weight but Seumalo looked a lot bigger than 300 lbs.
Putting the right defender on Jurgens could help stop it, or make it less effective for them at least.

It’s a trash play that should be banned.

 

[Proof]

am I misremembering, or didn't we stop it multiple times last year?

 

[Runwildboys]

This right here. Hurts has mutant leg strength. That play on 3rd and inches is pretty much unstoppable unless he has two sore hammys.

Gotta limit those opportunities

Or sore up his hammies.

I agree. It seems like broken body parts just waiting to happen.
