Cowboys’ Micah Parsons Doesn’t Believe NFL Should Ban Eagles’ ‘Tush Push’

[Diehardblues]

The Eagles' “Tush Push” QB sneak is one of the most unstoppable plays in the league, as it seems like they convert every short-yardage situation. Philadelphia’s success with the play has been so dominant, that some have called for the league to ban it.

However, as more teams have tried to execute the play, it’s become clear that the Eagles are just the best at it. Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons said it would be a bad idea to ban a play just because the Eagles are great at it.

When it is a playoff game and they need 1 yard for a td with 10 seconds to go, he might think different.

 

[Jake]

I've seen enough other teams try to replicate that play and get stuffed, including the Patriots against Dallas.

It's not unstoppable. The Eagles just execute it better than everyone else. Stop them.

 

[Mr_437]

They must have a antidote. DQ didn't seem concerned about it either.

 

[zrinkill]

I agree with him

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

He is saying that ..because he wants them to still be able to do it once his plan comes to fruition and he becomes an Eagle in 2 years.

Not everyone can do it successfully, but Jalen Hurts is a different animal on that play. Dont ban it when one team is just exceptional at it, stop crying and figure out how to stop it.

I disagree with him only from the aspect that it is a safety issue. Players should not be pushing other players, especially QBs, forward for yardage. In an age when the league does just about everything it can to protect QBs, this play increases the risk of injury IMO. However, it will likely take a QB getting injured doing it for the league to put some kind of protections in place.

It'd be the greatest play ever invented around here if it was the Cowboys always executing it. We need to line up someone under center like Hankins or Osa and push him. More power to whomever can get it done.

Exactly, we see enough teams fail at it. They have the players to execute that play, idk why people are mad about it

What most here don't realize, and it's very obvious, is that all players get asked questions through the media. Like every player in the league that's good...Micah gets asked a question and he answers, he plays for the Cowboys and is the best player on the team so.....his comments are front page. Then the people who don't understand how media works respond with. SHUT UP PARSONS. Media can manipulate you guys to do anything...when I say anything...I mean like...look at DC anything.

I agree with him to a certain extent, but the reason people have called for a ban on the play is not because no one can stop the Eagles when they run it. The reason is safety. The concern is with offensive and defensive linemen getting low and ramming into each other, there is a concern for the health of the linemen. Supposedly a lot of rugby players injure their necks in scrums like that. NFL linemen are bigger and stronger so it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt badly.

At least that is the argument against the play. I don't really know how they can make it illegal. QB sneaks have always been legal and pushing runners from behind happens a lot as well. I do think they should enforce the rule against pulling the ball carrier forward. I have seen that a few times and they seem to let it go. Pretty soon someone will run a play where the offensive line carries the ball carrier on their shoulders, like a crowd surfer, into the end zone.

I know I'm a former DB, current couch potato, but I really feel like I know the answer to this.

Don't try to get lower than the center. It's not going to happen-- reaction time doesn't work that way.

Split the center from the QB and have someone for the cleanup when the QB when he gets lifted

 

[LonnieElam]

The Brotherly Shove.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

No, get better and stop it or

 

[Adreme]

I mean it works because they have a HoF C and a QB who can squat more than 2 of said C. Kelce won’t be around much longer and then we can see which one is more responsible.

Brady was also great at this play and I don’t remember people wanting to ban it then.

 

[Captain-Crash]

I agree, leave it alone.
