Controversial Tush Push move
The Tush Push move has mainly been used by the Philadelphia Eagles. In this move, teammates “push” quarterback Jalen Hurts from behind during a quarterback sneak. The Eagles used this play in several games, and this play always safeguards a yard for the team. However, the Eagles are among the top contenders with 10 victories and three defeats, making them a dominating force in the 2023 NFL season.
However, Roger Goodell does not admire their popular Tush Push move. The league’s committee of owners, general managers, and coaches emphasized banning the play in the 2023 offseason, and discussions will probably resume in 2024. However, Goodell favored the ban of the play, which raises questions about its future, with concerns primarily focused on player safety. Meanwhile, let us know your thoughts on the league banning the Tush Push move.
