Would you want to sub in a guy at a critical point in the game for a center-qb exchange?
hell even the Eagles messed up the snap last week.


Honestly, that play has become such a statistical advantage, that I would strongly consider using a roster spot solely on a super strong back-up QB who spends time practicing it.

I think I know just the guy for the job...

They brought in a Scottish rugby guy and they then perfected it, pretty cool story actually


On his podcast Jason Kelce said they brought in the consultant to see if it could be defeated. He basically said it couldn’t if executed correctly.

I’ve never heard of a QB sneak being called the “Bush Push” except for one play involving Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush at USC
Until last year, when college and pro teams did it, TV commentators would say, "That's the ole Bush Push."

I never heard Tush push until last year. It sounds gay, like butt fumble did.

Well, it's not just a QB sneak - it's one in which the QB is pushed from behind.

And I had ONLY heard it called that until last season when they started calling it "tush push" in Philly.

I used to be a hooker back in the day. Its really cool seeing the rugby technique of a scrum used in the nfl


Yea, Brett did a video on this, and it’s absolutely straight out of rugby.

Tush Push

Center, guard, and tackle basically become a tip of the spear battering ram.
