The Tush Push isn't going anywhere.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion confirmed that the team's signature short-yardage play will remain in the offense as he installs a new system around Jalen Hurts.
"It's going to be a part of what we do," Mannion said. "It's been an extremely effective play here. We're going to lean into that."
Mannion's answer ends any questions about whether a change at offensive coordinator could lead Philadelphia to move away from the play. The Eagles are adjusting their formations, terminology and overall approach, but there is little reason to remove something that has consistently worked.
Philadelphia's success with the Tush Push begins with Hurts' lower-body strength, but the play requires timing, leverage and execution from the entire offensive line. Opponents have tried to replicate it without achieving the same results, while repeated attempts to remove it from the NFL rulebook have failed.
