Call it the . Call it the tush push. Call it whatever you want.The Eagles call it effective.Jalen Hurts' QB plunge has taken the NFL by storm. The play is used in one-yard situations, whether that be to get a first down or punch it in for a touchdown, and Philadelphia has enjoyed an extremely high succe s rate compared to other teams around the NFL.The play comes with some controversy, as certain clubs have complained to the league that Dorian Finney-Smith Jersey the sneak is an illegal play. After Hurts was succe sful (twice) in the Eagles' 34-28 win in Week 2 over the Vikings, the critics came out in full force again.QB SNEAK TD! on Prime VideoAlso available on NFL (@NFL) . punch it in again! on Prime VideoAlso available on NFL (@NFL) MORE:It was a topic discu sed by Eagles center Jason Kelce and his brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, during their latest , where the longtime Philadelphia lineman defended the play, calling into question why exactly people have a problem with it."So what do (they) want to outlaw it for, just cause it's a really, really highly succe sful play?" Kelce said on the show."If it's because we're really good at it, what else are you going to outlaw that other people are really good Josh Reaves Jersey at? Are we going to outlaw Patrick Mahomes operating a two-minute drill because he's the best player in the world at it? ... Justin Tucker can't kick a ball over 50 yards, get him out of there, it's too automatic, it's not fair?"If it's an unfair advantage, I think you would see the rest of the league doing it at 92% (succe s rate). But as we saw in Week 1, four other teams mi sed quarterback sneaks."Kelce is right there's no reason why other teams can't utilize the same play. However, whether it's a formation or personnel i sue, for some reason, only the Eagles have been able to find sustained succe s with the maneuver.One of the greatest players at the QB sneak also happens to be perhaps the greatest football player of all time Tom Brady. Josh Richardson Jersey The Patriots and Bucs legend consistently was able to gain the nece sary yards in short situations, including near the end zone.Brady was asked about the Eagles' QB sneak play last season, and he had nothing but praise for the move."It's a great tool to have," Brady . "I like the way they're doing it, they're making it kind of like the rugby scrum a little bit Jason Kidd Jersey , putting a lot of bodies in there which is kind of a new take on it. It will be interesting to see how defenses start to defend that."MORE:Make no mistake, the play is perfectly legal. Defenses just haven't come up with a way to stop Hurts and Co. Here is the NFL rule that explains why the QB sneak is allowed:If Hurts was around pre-2005, then the play would constantly be whistled dead for a penalty. Back then, the NFL did not allow a sisting a ball carrier by pushing, pulling or carrying the runner. However, in 2005, the league lifted the ban.Nowadays, there are certain rules about the offensive team making contact with the ball carrier, but nothing states that it is illegal to push the carrier.Here is Article 4 under Section 1: Blocking, Use of Hands and Arms of Rule No. 12: Player Conduct in the , which discu ses the legal and illegal actions about pushing a ball carrier:No offensive Steve Nash Jersey player may:pull a runner in any direction at any time;use interlocking interference, by grasping a teammate or by using his hands or arms to encircle the body of a teammate in an effort to block an opponent; orpush or throw his body against a teammate to aid him in an attempt to obstruct an opponent or to recover a loose ball.So while there are rules against pulling a ball carrier, there is nothing that prohibits pushing that player.
