The NFL may be prepared to eliminate the Philadelphia Eagles’ tush push if a recent report from The Athletic is to be believed
NFL expert Dianna Russini shared on Saturday that the Eagles’ hard-to-defend variation on the quarterback sneak might be prohibited as soon as the league’s competitors committee fulfills in the offseason to discuss its legality.
Per Russini, league commissioner Roger Goodell is among the key figures who wants to squash the play.
“I was informed by a league source that Goodell wants to see this play removed from the game completely,” Russini wrote. “If he gets his way, expect the Philly boos to be intolerable.”
The discourse around this play has become a bit heated at this point in the process. If you love the “Brotherly Shove,” it probably means that you’re an Eagles fan. If you hate it, you probably have had Philadelphia use it against you in the end zone this season.
There is nothing inherently “wrong” with the play as much as no one runs it quite like the Eagles can. If the NFL wants it gone, it may not be long until the tush push is a play of the past.
Well, Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson didn’t seem too worried about it. It’ll be legal for the rest of the season at the very least.
