One More Year We Will Be Seeing Tush Push In Action: No Ban To Be Imposed In 2024

The NFL will not look into calls to outlaw the “tush push” quarterback sneak, which was made popular by Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent told reporters on Thursday.

One of the questions surrounding the play was if it gave an unfair edge, but that was refuted by the fact that only some teams (the Eagles) appeared to be proficient in it and that it wasn’t a strategy that worked for everyone.

Vincent went on to say that no request to outlaw the play will be made this offseason.

According to top NFL analyst Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the NFL will continue to study the play even though there isn’t a strong movement to outlaw it.

Over the last two seasons, the “Tush Push” has emerged as the NFL’s most closely watched play. After being an essential component of the Philadelphia Eagles attack, the play gained notoriety in 2022. That season, the play not only helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl, but it also helped Jalen Hurts establish a new quarterback record.

Last season, the Eagles converted an amazing 37 out of 40 quarterback sneaks, or 92.5 percent of the attempts. Hurts’ powerful lower body and the formidable offensive line, which was captained by former center and leverage expert Jason Kelce, were major contributors to that success percentage.

In contrast to allegations that commissioner Roger Goodell wanted the “Tush Push” removed from the game this past December, the league’s current position on the matter is different. That doesn’t seem to be the situation now.

There are two explanations for the play’s negative reception. The play is dangerous since it frequently results in a pile, which raises the possibility of accidents. Since offensive players may force the quarterback forward, many believe the move also offers the offense an unfair edge. The Athletic reports that the Eagles ran the play with a 93.5% success rate in 2022 and a 90% success rate in 2023.

It will be fascinating to watch whether the Eagles continue to convert at such a high percentage in the future, especially with the tush push here to stay and Kelce having retired. The future Hall of Fame center probably won’t miss calling the play, that much is clear.

What is the success rate of the tush push?

In the 2023 regular season, the Eagles converted 37 out of 40 attempts while calling the “tush push,” for a success percentage of 92.5%, according to Jacob Camenker of Sporting News.

Did Tampa stop the Tush push?

The Philadelphia Eagles’ “Tush Push” is unexpectedly stopped by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during a Wild Card playoff game.

Why is Tush Push controversial?

There are two key reasons why the Tush Push has generated controversy. The play’s obvious first reason is the possibility of player injuries.
