The unconventional tactic involves the Eagles’ offensive line essentially pushing QB Jalen Hurts to secure a first down, and it has earned itself a unique nickname: the “Tush Push.”

While some believe that this maneuver should be deemed illegal, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has come to its defense. Sirianni argues that banning the play would be unnecessary, stating, “If everybody could do it, everybody would do it.” He further elaborates that the Eagles effectively turn a 1st and 10 into a 1st and 9 with this approach.

The NFL, on the other hand, has raised concerns about safety, especially when it’s the defense employing a similar tactic. Nevertheless, Sirianni contends that pushing the quarterback into a dogpile is perfectly safe when executed by the Eagles.

The Brotherly Shove/Tush-Push play has introduced an intriguing twist to the world of NFL strategy, with its unconventional nature leaving fans and analysts divided on whether it should be permitted or restricted. As the debate unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the NFL will address the use of this unique quarterback sneak in the future.

]]> Are The LA Chargers Going To Draft Jalen Hurts? http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2020/03/are-the-la-chargers-going-to-draft-jalen-hurts.html Fri, 06 Mar 2020 03:18:18 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=11144 Could the newest QB coming to Los Angeles be Jalen Hurts? There are rumors leaking that the Chargers are indeed looking at the former Oklahoma QB.

With today’s trade of Trai Turner for Russell Okung it seems as if LA is gearing up for a change on offense. The best way to help a young QB is a good OL and running game, so with Austin Eckler already there it makes sense.

We’ll see what the Chargers do in the draft!
