Can we talk about the Tush Push?

[big dog cowboy]

Has to be the worse executed Tush Push I have ever seen. Not impressed. Do better McCarthy. This was so BAD.

If you're going to run the tush push you need to put a couple of guards or a couple of nose tackles behind Dak, what about Mazi Smith he's supposed to be so incredibly strong. Give me guys that play in the trenches were pushing and shoving is part of their job description.

LEAVE it to Philly, I've got so many questions about this, I wonder how they did it in practice, it must have worked somehow so they said let's use it in a game

 

[Captain-Crash]

always somebody else's fault. shrugs

I would actually like to see it again, but with a fake pitch out to Pollard.

He likes to hit people, but sorry it's going to take 2-3 years for him to develop to do this!

now you're thinking

ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS REACH THE BALL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RoboQB]

Looking forward to this play being removed from the game. Should've voted it out this year.

I would have had Dak run a naked bootleg or something else. That was pathetic.

 

[EST_1986]

goes to show that what Hurts and the Eagles do during that play is just special

That's an auto fumble. Never reach the ball out in a sneak situation, maybe a goal line situation since crossing it ends the play. You reach the ball out on a sneak like that and you have more hands than you can handle swatting at the football.

do it in the endzone and it's a touchback, what's the difference???

I know it's all in hindsight, but that would have been a much better plan.

The Cowboys have 300+ LB guys on the roster. Why weren't they lined up in the backfield?

Because when the ball crosses the plane of the goal line the play is dead. You don't get that benefit in the rest of the field. Sneaks you're typically on top of other players so you're never really down by contact, its just when you stop forward momentum, so reaching the ball out is an enormous risk unless you have the goal line or open grass in front of you to save you from a late punch at the ball.

 

[Captain-Crash]

they should have kept the deuce and had the guys push him so hard that they basically throw him over for a first down.

 

[CCBoy]

They just need to be trained to excell in the art of a scrum in rugby.

This form of tush push, is dangerous to player's legs as powerful force is aimed at the opposing players legs. It truly is a dangerous football technique...presently legal or not.

Yep, I have to make sure the 5% understand things. shrugs.
