Eagles Coach Nick Sirianni Is In Favour Of Tush Push, Urges For It To Not Be Banned

In the fourth quarter of a one-score game on Sunday night, Nick Sirianni was originally unsure whether the Philadelphia Eagles should attempt a fourth-and-1 play from their own 26-yard line. To hand the ball back to the formidable Miami Dolphins offence, which had been limited to 10 points and 244 yards of offence at that point in the game, Sirianni called for the Eagles’ punt unit to be activated.

Eagles Coach Nick Sirianni Is In Favour Of Tush Push, Urges For It To Not Be Banned

The crowd roared for the “tush push”. Sirianni thought about what he was doing and knew he made the wrong decision.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni talked about the team’s effective use of the Tush Push play in short-yard scenarios as well as the benefits Philadelphia gains from this dependable play.

After the victory over the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football, Sirianni addressed reporters and expressed his opinion that the NFL shouldn’t outlaw the contentious quarterback sneak play.

“Every first down is a 1st and 9,” said the Eagles head coach, via Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports. “We have a lot of confidence in that play.”

This special tactic, which Jalen Hurts and his colleagues have perfected, has contributed to the Eagles’ incredible success. But Sirianni was keen to point out that not every squad can execute it as well. “People can’t do it like we do it. Don’t ban this play. If everybody could do it, everybody would do it,”

On a short-yard scenario on Sunday night, Philadelphia increased the intensity of the Tush Push from their own 30-yard line. Hurts’s helped sneak up the middle was successful, as is frequently the case, and the squad gained a fresh set of downs. In the second quarter, Hurts also scored a touchdown on the ground, gaining one yard using the Tush Push.

Although the “tush push” has generated criticism around the NFL, the Dolphins were unable to stop it. In a 24-17 victory, Philadelphia gained the early down and prolonged the drive. Four plays later, they repeated the play on a fourth-and-1 from their own 37.
