Hey guys! Figured this fanbase could use a positivity boost right now. There's been one undeniable bright spot all season – the Chargers Tush Push!

(The Charge? The Surge? Power Surge? Bolt Bump? Nickname pending…)

Breakdown:

  • 7 rush attempts on 3rd Down
  • 1 rush attempt on 4th Down
  • 7-of-8 converted for 1st Down!
  • Bonus Highlights: 3 short yardage runs by Herbert under center with no pushing of his tush. Converted 3/3 for 1st Down!

Shout Outs:

  • Herbert: Of course! I distinctly recall him not being great at QB sneaks, so I guess he's been weightlifting on those quads. Also doing well to lean low despite his 6'6" stature.
  • C Bozeman + LG Johnson: Tape clearly shows that Bozeman knows how to go low against linemen and Herbert favors the left side A gap behind Zion. The two have done very well giving QB a clear lane to surge through.
  • FB Matlock + WR Harris: There is typically a three-man stance behind Herbert featuring the RB/TE, FB, and a WR. By my count, Matlock and Harris have been in the tush push personnel group all year and do well finishing the job (maybe too well with how hard they bulldoze Herbert from behind lol)

P.S. What is the nickname? This fanbase has gotta decide on one. Maybe drop a nickname below and upvote the one you like most!

  1. Forgot to mention this highlight reel features broadcast view + endzone view (no audio for that angle) pulled from NFL Pro film room.

  2. wonder if they will have a training camp fan experience where one can push the Herbert tush. bet many here would line up for that.
