Tom Brady Warns Eagles QB Jalen Hurts On Usage Of The “Tush Push”

Just as Tom Brady worries, there are only two possible outcomes for a quarterback’s career. There are quarterbacks who either run sneak plays and are frequently hit or those who take better care of their bodies and utilize the defensive line to the fullest. The primary distinction between a quarterback with a lengthy career and one who must take early retirement due to injuries is the feeling of protection they experience at all times when holding the ball.

Tom Brady Warns Eagles QB Jalen Hurts On Usage Of The “Tush Push”

Knowing this, he has some words of wisdom and perhaps a caution for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and his use of the “Tush Push.”

By positioning themselves in a tight formation and physically pressing Hurts forward, the Eagles have radically altered the quarterback sneak in the contemporary game. They have run it more than 30 times over the last two seasons, with a 92 per cent success rate. They are so skilled at it that the NFL has even considered outlawing the play.

For the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Hurts has been employing this play to win games. Although the whole defensive line is charging forward with the offence, quarterbacks frequently receive many opportunities to score at that point. putting oneself at risk for severe injury.

Brady feels the Eagles may need to make a change since he sees some possible long-term problems with it.

On his “Let’s Go” podcast, he talked about that subject.

“The only thing I worry about in that particular play is they all know what’s coming when you line up in formation and that quarterback is going to take a lot of shots,” he stated.

“I don’t know how many times you want your quarterback taking shots. So yeah, it’s effective for a one-yard gain but it might be ineffective someday when someone hits a right shoulder of the quarterback because they know it’s coming. So you may have some short-term gain, you may have some long-term pain.”

He encourages Jalen Hurts to consider his alternative strategy for approaching wins. Despite the Tush Push’s outstanding 92% success record, Jalen Hurts continues to take a big risk that might result in a major injury that would put the Eagles’ season in jeopardy.

Although Hurts dislikes the term given to this play, it still succeeds at an amazing rate. Although Hurts may still be young and strong enough to overcome many opponents, Tom Brady is considering the long term since he believes Hurts may want to continue playing for many more years.
