The Philadelphia Eagles are the best team in the NFL when it comes to running the ball in for a touchdown at the one-yard line, or when picking up a much-needed first down.
The reason for this is because of perfecting a play known as the “Tush Push. “The play essentially has the offensive line shoving quarterback Jalen Hurts to gain the touchdown or precious yard (s) needed to continue their play.
The effectiveness of the play led to many coaches and executives questioning whether the play could be viewed as “cheating.”
Per Adam Schefter, during a conference call about upcoming rule change proposals, NFL President of Football Operations Troy Vincent revealed if the “Tush Push” would be banned.
NFL is leaving the “Tush Push” as a legal play for the 2024 season. NFL executive Troy Vincent said today that there will not be any proposal presented this off-season to ban it for next season. “The Eagles,” Vincent said on a conference call, “do it well.”
According to the conference call from Troy Vincent the “Tush Push” would remain a legal play. Schefted indicated that Vincent said, “The Eagles, do it well.” As stated above, there is no other team that is better than the Eagles at this play.
