OT: The "Eagles scrum push"

[SlumpBuster]

They seriously need to go back to making this illegal, it's so dumb.

Hot take I know.

This and the whole offensive team pushing the pile. Like how Wisconsin did it on one of their tds. I'm telling my guys to start cutting knees if their going to do that.

Hurts’ lower body strength is what makes that unstoppable
Most QBs aren’t strong enough to keep their legs moving in that scrum

That doesn't make it not dumb. If it were Hurts lower body strength then he wouldn't need 3-4 people pushing him from behind.

I also think it’s Jason Kelce being a freak. I’ve seen other QBs who are strong not be able replicate it cuz they don’t have a center pushing the DL with a bear crawl

Its literally the most football play in football. Calm down.

Disagree strongly. It was illegal for a very long time to push a runner in the back.

 

[Alcaus]

Is it bad bc it’s difficult for the defense to stop?

 

[CybrrMonky71]

Nothing is stopping everybody from running the same play
They try, but not near the success
The push from behind isn’t the sole reason why it’s unstoppable
It’s a dumb complaint. Its football, nothing wrong with slamming a pile
On the flip side why can a defense have multiple players push a man the opposite way?
Will you want to outlaw gang tackling?

Honestly it doesn't bug me because we don't talk about the times it doesn't work.

Making it illegal is just stupid. They came up with a basic running play and teams should have to stop it or shut up.

It was illegal for a long time (until 2005).

It should not be illegal IMO.
