DrPhilly Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 National pundits are swinging toward favoring the play now that they’ve understood that other teams can’t copy the success of the Eagles. Just a couple holdouts left in the regular bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPhilly Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Eisen is probably the most verbal of the national pundits left who are against the play and in this vid he is clearly starting to be worn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 I don't mind not saving it for playoffs. The entire league has made it their mission to learn to stop it. Now they'll think twice about strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JournalistMic Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Did Jalen Hurts fumble on purpose so that the rest of the NFL would stop crying about the Brotherly Shove? Notice after that fumble most sports journalists stopped their campaign of having it banned. Which imagine being so good at an activity at your job that the rest of the companies demand the practice banned because they can't stop you.

I think they have them, I mean I am by no means an offensive coordinator but I mentioned previously....if you have AJ on one side in the backfield, Smith on the other, on the snap have Hurts drop back from the pile, send them both streaking downfield on each side of the pile, my guess is one or both would be wide open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't the first time. But, when a play is 93% successful despite everyone knowing it's coming, why not keep running it. Some said don't show it until later, but I think doing that in the Washington game achieves a couple things. One, it puts in the minds of the defense that if they try too hard to go all in on stopping the play (which they can't anyway), they may pay for it while they fake it. Two, it helps with the bias and hatred for the play and wanting it banned. It says to the league, see we can do more than just the shove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ran the sneak successfully, but the Giants called a timeout. Coming out, they set up for it again, and instead, the ran a variation of that old Flip 90 play that Reid used to run way back in the day. Miles Sanders easily picked it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Raiders just lined up for it but faked it & tossed to RB for a first. 2 plays later a regular running play, several guys were pushing the RB to get him further. I guarantee no one will complain & call to ban pushing the RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
