The Eagles head coach weighed in with his thoughts on the Tush Push.
head coach Nick Sirianni discussed the team’s successful usage of the Tush Push play in short-yard situations, and addressed the advantages the reliable play provides for Philadelphia., Sirianni spoke about the controversial quarterback sneak play, saying he doesn’t believe it should be banned by the NFL.and the Eagles have tremendous success with the play, though not all teams have been able to replicate their consistency in using the quarterback sneak.
“People can’t do it like we do it. Don’t ban this play. If everybody could do it, everybody would do it,” said Sirianni. Calls for the play to be outlawed by the NFL have been loud, and it’s expected to be a topic of discussion during the owners meetings in the offseason, but Sirianni said that he hopes the league doesn’t ban the Tush Push.
Philadelphia dialed up the Tush Push on a short-yard situation on Sunday night from their own 30 yard line.

Hurts also scored a one-yard rushing touchdown via the Tush Push during the second quarter.
