Why can't we do the Tush Push too?

[RustyBourneHorse]

THEY'RE SCARED TO LOSE DAK TO INJURY

Why do you think I mentioned using the FB?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

how many and one or less downs have we had this year?

Not sure, but, if we do, I think we could use a FB tush push.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

It is something you study closely and figure out and practice all off season so youre ready

Like “red zone scoring”

You dont wake up after game 3 of the regular season to “work at it harder”

McCarthy is a buffoon

Perhaps, but using the FB could work.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Dak's legs should definately be used more. He hasnt been the same since injury and its a bit concerning

Agreed, his legs need to be used more.

Why reinvent the wheel when the formula is right there? The Eagles version works because you keep the ball as close as possible to the LOS with the QB, a handoff negates that.

Well, if we can use Dak in that, brilliant, but, if they're worried about Dak, then, at least with a FB dive, it's a quicker handoff.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I agree. When the line's health, we should do this. Use Hunter as QB. It's not giving anything away. It's pretty clear when it's being used.

I mean, giving anything away doesn't even matter. It's obvious when the Eagles are going to do it. It is just very difficult to stop, so it doesn't matter. So, I'd love for Mike to figure out a way to tailor it for our offense.

Yes but i dont have a lot of confidence in either Mccarthy or Dak

If Dallas does it, there will be a rule against it in the offseason

Thats as good a reason to do it as any. Stops Philly from being able to do it and makes them have to get those tough yards in a normal fashion.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I do trust Mike on that. Plus, how hard can it be? All Dak has to do is hand it to Luepke, and the back or two behind Luepke just has to push him in.

Exactly, it benefits us on yardage and points in the short term, and it stops the Eagles from being able to do it in the long term.

If Dallas did it they would probably get called for some obscure penalty that hasn't been called on anyone in years

You know what? Why can't we use the Tush Push too? I'm not saying use Dak, though he is a rather big QB. But can surely develop our own version of the Tush Push. We struggle in the Red zone, but I think creating our own version of it would be good. Here's what I have in mind.

Instead of using Dak (though, we could if we wanted to), I think we would use a bit of a t formation, sort of like what McCarthy would occasionally use in Green Bay. However, the backs would be Luepke and 2 linemen (who would report as eligible), a lineman and a TE, or 2 TEs accompanying Luepke. Luepke would be a bit in front of the other backs. That way, when they hand it to him on a FB dive, the other two backs/linemen can push Luepke into the end zone. Behind Tyler Smith, Biadisz, and Zach Martin, that should be enough push up front to allow Luepke, pushed by the others, to get into the end zone. It'd be a combination of a FB dive and a tush push. I'd love to see us try it.

JJ is too tight with the dollar to bring in an expert Rugby coach, which is what the Eagles did.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Yes, but then the Cowboys can take it to the league office to show that we did exactly what the eagles do.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Which is ridiculous if that's the case. I'm sure he can bring in the English rugby coach if he wanted. How hard can that be? (Im starting to sound like Jeremy Clarkson now lol)

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It's a darn near automatic 1 or more yards.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

We don't have the horses for the tush push.

But what about the Tree Fall?

Put a big TE behind center. Have a big WR hop up on his shoulders. Have a small WR hop up on HIS shoulders....and then have little teeny Duece climb up on HIS shoulders.

Gotta be up to ...what ....14 or 15 feet there?

Center snaps ball way up high to Duece......whole "Tree" falls forward. Duece is across goal line before anyone on D can even jump up and touch his wittle toes.

I want to see it outlawed. At some point someone's knees are going to get blown completely out and end someone's career. Dangerous? Very.

If knees getting blown out were an issue wouldn’t football be outlawed?

 

[Captain-Crash]

dak is fragile. he needs to retire before he is wheelchair-bound for life.

 

[vicjagger]

If we did it, it would be illegal.

 

[CCBoy]

If knees getting blown out were an issue wouldn’t football be outlawed?

There are already rules to protect defenders on the line to prevent legs from being blown out. There are protections just as when arm bars and horse collars came into the NFL. Like the prospect of losing a $180 M lineman?

 

[KingCorcoran]

If we did it, it would be illegal.

No, it wouldn’t be illegal If the Cowboys did it. The league isn’t going to rule against the play because they’d have to outlaw pushing the ball carrier. The league wants that to be within the rules. There is no reason every team cannot do exactly what the Eagles do.
