The Green Bay Packers are leading the charge with the request to have Philadelphia‘s “Tush Push” play banned. The infamous quarterback sneak has come under heavy scrutiny over the years, and it is likely that other teams agree.
However, Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni wasn’t too happy.
“Unfair” Packers Fans Rip Nick Sirianni’s Response To Tush Push Ban
Per the folks at Total Packers:
According to Nick Sirianni, it’s unfair Green Bay is asking to have this play banned:
“It’s a skill that our team has because of the players that we have, the way that the coaches coach it. … Again, there’s just so much time put into it. The fact that it’s a successful play for the Eagles and people want to take that away is a little unfair,” he said at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
Multiple NFL teams run variations of the play and Sirianni said that it’s far from a sure success. The reason that the Eagles’ version of the play works is due to the attention to detail that goes into it.
“I almost feel a little insulted because we work so hard at that play,” he said. “The amount of things that we’ve looked into how to coach that play, the fundamentals. There’s a thousand plays out there but it comes down to how you teach the fundamentals and how the players go through and do the fundamentals.”
Here is a video of the full answer:

It’s not a football play. Don’t care who runs it, it’s a disgrace to the game. Go coach and play rugby.

It’s the pushing from behind that pisses people off. No matter what team does it
