The Philadelphia Eagles are fuming over a proposal by the Green Bay Packers that aims to ban the beloved tush push. The play has been as successful as avocado toast for brunch-loving Millennials. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni couldn’t hold back his indignation at the NFL’s scouting combine when he remarked, “It’s insulting to say because we’re good at it, it’s automatic”.

For those not versed in football lingo, the tush push is basically a modified quarterback sneak. When it’s crunch time and there’s a yard or less to go, Jalen Hurts can usually count on a medical-grade phalanx of teammates to shove him forward. The Eagles have turned this play into art. Sirianni insists they practice it relentlessly, crafting a well-oiled machine that puts high school gym classes to shame.

But do the Packers think this play is just too much? Their general manager, Brian Gutekunst, has admitted to submitting a proposal for a ban, claiming it lacks skill and practically hands over first downs like free samples at Costco. But come on, is that really a fair take? The only reason this play joins the pantheon of greats is the success the Eagles have made from it. Just ask the Bills, whose attempts to replicate the magic ended in disaster during a pivotal game against the Chiefs.

Now, the NFL Competition Committee might just be having a little pow-wow about the merits of the tush push, while owners weigh in during meetings in sunny Florida next month. So, does anyone else find it amusing that some coaches think the answer to stopping this play is to change the rules instead of actually learning how to defend it? Not everyone agrees. Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles says let’s keep it, while Bills coach Sean McDermott raises concerns about player safety. It’s comedy gold watching them work this out like a group therapy session.

As we wait to see if the tush push gets the axe, Eagles fans can only hope to enjoy this not-so-secret weapon for a little while longer. The only thing worse than a ban on the tush push would be the realization that some people don’t see the joy in shoving a fellow athlete forward for glory.

In the end, let’s hope the powers that be let the Eagles strut their stuff for a while longer. After all, we could all use a little more excitement in the game, even if it comes via a strategic butt push on the field.
