Richard Sherman with the best take on the tush push

[Captain-Crash]

our guy tripped over a while line on the field and messed up his ankle, pushing him, wow his spine would explode from his body.

Two other teams did it Sunday but were unsuccessful. There is quite a bit of technique/skill/timing involved despite what you think. If it was a simple as just pushing the D line back at the snap, every team would be successful at it.

The fact two other teams tried Sunday means others will also follow suit. Eventually other teams will get proficient at it; this has always been a copycat league.

At that point I guess we will have to wait and see if something is done. Because to me it is unfair, but there is also a safety issue for defensive players as Sherman points out.

Wahhh, this is clearly about the Cowboys even though it has nothing to do with the Cowboys, wahhhh.

What kind of men are you in real life, lmao

Agreed the neverending victim mentality of some of our fans gets tiresome for sure

They love repeating "he squats 600 lbs". It doesn't matter when you are being pushed, sometimes carried by two other men.

He does, and other teams can't do it, so it's him.

So I was watching this play the other day very carefully. So while the defensive linemen are engaged you have a second guy diving at their knees, I thought this was penalty. It's literally the o line chop blocking the entire d line.

 

[sandbridge77]

There is zero skill involved with the tush push and it's so close to unstoppable it's really not fair

I think all teams should run plays that require no skill and are unstoppable. Lol

Looking back I really should have re-phrased that ha ha.

 

[dreameaglegreen]

it's no longer called the tush push in philly, it's now called the "brotherly shove"

Tom Brady did it his entire career.

I don’t recall seeing that at all. Brady was great at the QB sneak because he timed it perfectly, never hesitated, and got low to avoid being a target.

 

[plymkr]

They'll outlaw it when Hurts breaks and ankle.

Yep, you beat me to it. When a marketable QB gets seriously injured or concussed then they’ll outlaw it.

 

[Cowboys5217]

So what if you got like 6 big defensive lineman and had 2 stand behind and push the rest.

They would audible out and burn you deep as soon as they saw that defensive alignment.

 

[stilltheguru]

It's a trash play

 

[Runwildboys]

it's no longer called the tush push in philly, it's now called the "brotherly shove"

That sounds like a Hot Boyz play.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

I have really only seen the Eagles do it. Other teams might not want to expose their QB to a huge pile up, others might not even practice it.

The NFL created a penalty for removing your helmet because other teams' feelings got hurt when Emmitt Smith did it after scoring touchdowns.

But the Eagles can do something palpably unfair that impacts the outcomes of games and all it gets from the league is a collective shrug. And a corny nickname.

Sorry for the music and the agenda of the video narrator, can’t find a better one that displays the correct footage/statistic



The problem becomes that it isn’t unfair in general terms when you look at what the league averages are per team. So if it does get banned, it will be specifically to stop Philadelphia from doing it and not to fix an issue with the other 31 teams

I mean, I get that people use sports teams as avatars for their own lives or whatever, but jeez. At the least the people who are mad at the front office all the time have a point, lol.

 

[Mannix]

Lets not forget that the reason they banned the removal of the helmet after Emmitt was because it caused delay....soooooo....there was no delay when they grandfathered in the Lambeau Leap??? Haha. So why couldn't the grandfather in the Kettle Jump on Thanksgiving? Duh....because Cowboys were doing it.

 

[Proof]

my biggest issue is the corny name

 

[CowboyRoy]

Yah this needs to be completely banned.

And why havent other team started doing it?

 

[CowboyRoy]

They'll outlaw it when Hurts breaks and ankle.

If I am other teams I am hammering Hurts EVERY time.
