The buccs put a “special focus” in practice on stopping the tush push. Still couldn’t stop it.
Best way to stop the tush push? Stop us before we get to 3rd&1.
I saw other teams try to do it on Sunday and fail at it.
I am so fucking sick of this manufactured fake outrage
I still don’t like it
I’m almost certain another team tried it this Sunday and failed, but I could be wrong
So in a physical sport, lining up in what looks like a rugby formation and pushing the line forward 1 yard should be illegal? It’s called dominating the line of scrimmage.
I mean… stop it and the Eagles will stop running it.
I don’t think there should be any kicks, no punts on 4th down, no field goals. You can still have a “throw off” but I want some 8 ft 325 dude just huckin’ it from the end zone.
End two tier football, eliminate kickers
I’ve never heard people bitching about a particular play more than our QB sneak.
Really just seems everyone is jealous since they can’t replicate the amount of success we have with it.
It makes it more fun to watch on the ground. Like an old school scrum
It’s so stupid, Troy Aikman was saying he thought it’d be banned this year. WHY? WHY? YOU BRAINLESS MORON, WHY? One team excels at something? In that case, we should probably pan Pat Mahomes all together.
The only reason everyone is mad is because we’re so good at it. Should we ban scrambling and throwing on the run because Patrick Mahomes is so good at it? No, that sounds ridiculous. Same with the eagles.
They clowned the 600 lb squat stat like it was meaningless…. Well maybe yall should start drafting qb’s that can squat!
I’m so tired of the whining. If I saw another team doing this, all I’d want to know is why can’t my team’s O do this, and/or why can’t my team’s D stop this. Enough already.
I LOVE how many sports broadcasters keep bringing up how they hoped it would be made illegal this year.. huge bitch energy.
Should we ban the hurry up because it doesn’t allow defensives to make subs and makes the game worse? Should we ban 60 yard field goals because not everyone can do it?
I mean, come on. It works because we have a dominant OL and a QB that has worked to get good at it. Anyone else could do it.
An overwhelming majority of NFL fans do not think the sneak should be made illegal.
“Taylor swift is banging travis kelce and we need to ban the tush push.” Nfl
“Taylor swift is banging travis kelce and we need to ban the tush push.”
The Bucs even stopped it once (arguably twice) yet it’s still “impossible to stop”. Hell I think the Packers stopped us twice last year.
My favorite are the halfwits that think our team would be bad without that play, while our RBs are averaging ~6 YPC
i hope they do ban the “tush push” so people shut the fuck up about it. the pushing maybe makes it 5% more effective. its just something for the backs to do rather than stand around. the unstoppable part is hurts, kelce, and the OL. guys like brady and manning were extremely effective at sneaks too and without pushing.
the reality is if you just need 1 yard, its extremely hard for the defense to stop a sneak. for some reason it took 70 years for a team to realize they should practice it and do it way more often.
Peter King seething in rage, as he rants about how the tush push “destroys the integrity of the game” or some shit
Eagles: haha o-line go forward
Nobody else tries it
Totally this. I think it was either week 1 or 2 that 4 other teams attempted it and each one was unsuccessful.
One of the reasons we are so damn successful is that our QB can deadlift over 600 lbs. Which is around the average deadlift for an NFL lineman.
So even if we went with a traditional QB sneak and didn’t have the “tush push” the defensive front 4 have to combat the combined push of 5 OL guys. Mathematically speaking we SHOULD be overwhelmingly successful.
This is always my argument. If other teams could do it successfully, they would. They don’t have our Oline and a qb that squats 600lbs though.
One of the talking heads said “what’s stopping teams from just snapping it directly to the RB then?” As if that’s not something you see teams do sometimes.
They also said why don’t the Titans just have DH run sneaks the whole game. Like….cmon on now
Like 5 teams tried it, I think it worked once
Hate us cause you anus
I love seeing us do it. The way classic football should be. Are these whiners presenting some sort of medical argument for banning it or just as I suspect complaining because none of the other teams currently can pull it off like we do? Go Birds.
P.S. when it’s early in the game, there’s no pressure and we’re in chip shot field goal range don’t do the sneak unless we’re talking inches. More than a yard just take the easy 3 points.
People always call it boring but I totally disagree. Seeing the slow motion reply of the line getting down that low and the whole unit cruising forward is always cool to me.
Whiners. It’s 1 yard. If you can’t stop us it’s your fault.
Best way to stop it is prevent 3&1 4&1 situations
Lol Aikman saying he thinks they were going to ban it and they they will sometime in the future. What a fucking clown
The only issue with this play is every time we do it the entire defensive line lines up offsides trying to stop it and they don’t call it
Bucs tried hard to stop it and learn to stop it jalen and our oline are just to strong
How epic would it be they schemed in a pass play with that formation.
Despite the name, the “tush push” isn’t so much the players shoving the QB over as it is the QB driving his legs and finding the seam. The RBs might offer a little extra push in the back, but generally they are more about preventing the QB from moving backward than they are to add to his forward momentum.
I’d be willing to hear arguments to banning it if it really was every team doing it. But for something like this, having teams have unique identities is a good thing for the league imo. And it’s not like it’s _so_ broken that it’s an exploit and subverting the game; our game plan is a little softer on 3rd down because we’re comfortable going for it on 4th and close, but it’s not like every drive hinges on it. Basically, since we’ve seen it really depends on personnel, banning the play is intentionally nerfing the eagles, and that looks bad for the league if they can’t reasonably convert with any kind of safety concern.
All that said, the worst thing I’ve seen is people saying it should be banned because it’s “boring.” I have no respect for that argument. I don’t think it is boring, and even if it was, we shouldn’t be banning specific plays solely because people don’t like how they look. It’s such an admission that they have no better argument and they’re literally restoring to name calling because they’re jealous we can do it and they can’t.
In the game thread yesterday I saw someone seriously suggest “we shouldn’t ban it but we should limit it to 2 attempts per game.” _THAT_ was the most wild recommendation I’ve seen.
Oh and also Sean Payton wanted it banned, so that’s one argument in favor of keeping it.
