So I have one question, given the success of the Philly special,

Why, as a team that prides itself in physicality, have we not installed it? It's unstoppable and we could have used it a few times this year.

You mean the tush push?

Idk why no one in college has tried. Philly has a sick oline so that might be the reasoning...scared oline cent hold up.

Not many teams take snaps from under center either

Is it legal? We used to see the OL pushing players down the field but that's been absent, or at least I have missed it.

The way the Falcons used it this week with the backup tight end was kick arse!

Would love to see Delp or Luckie under center running a version of the tush push.

Backup tight end Felipe Franks of Florida QB fame. (Point being he used to play QB, so taking a snap on a sneak isn’t totally foreign to him)

It's legal since the reggie bush push against Notre dame years ago. I could live with a quick 4th down attempt with it inside of 2 yards. Gunner is physical enough. Have one of our tes as FB and let it ride

We actually have a quarterback sneak. I wasn't sure if we did, but we ran it for the first time against Kentucky.

The only time I'll knitpick individual playcalls "Bobo sucks" style is when we don't run a sneak on 3rd and inches or 4th and inches.

Philly has it down to an art. The oline gets so low and bunched together it’s tough for refs to see if they go early and Hurts is a freakishly strong individual. Not saying Gunner couldn’t do it too but it would be great to see us run.
I thought there was a rule in college you couldn’t push a ball carrier from behind but I may just be making that up

You can push from behind, it’s done quite often, what you can’t do I believe is pull the ball carrier

Jalen hurts squats an insane amount of weight. Josh Allen is not a small man. It’s about who you are snapping the ball to.
