Bark should go a long way towards achieving that

Yes...control the ball ...Barkley should help a lot with that

I don’t disagree and my fondness of the tush push is well known I don’t give the credit to Hurts for that play though he is given the stat…. Honestly want to see us lean away from that play if we need to use it like 3rd and goal need a td by all means do it but first 2nd just use the RB 

Dickerson and Mailata do the work on the tush push

I think of how Wentz had Greg ward as his top WR but was expected to win 

He won the division throwing for the franchise record only time an Eagles QB threw for 4000 yards....imagine AJ and Smith at WR...instead of Ward and... well not sure who else...that's how bad it was.

I agree with this

So should everyone...they had a nice little video on it...Kelce snaps and falls down... Dickerson gets the jump to move the pile and Mailata finishes off pushing sideways ..while Hurts leans and let's the guys in the back push him.   But Dickerson and Mailata are the keys to the play.

I think Dickerson, Mailata and Hurts personally. 

Hurts has traits better to complete that play than anybody we’ve really ever seen before. He’s stout little brick of a QB that keeps his legs moving, guys jumping on him trying to effect him without good access to bring him down is so very difficult. Defender can’t just reach around a block and one armed sort of drag Hurts to the ground.

Dickerson I’d go as far as labeling top reason for Brotherly Shove success. That’s why the whole stink was targeted on Dickerson for offsides. Hurts is number two for me though. Mailata third.

Goedert from behind is actually such a great option for that role also.

But our players take that punishment a couple times every week. Opponents only get worn and beat down the two or three times …THAT GAME!

Dickerson didn’t look great this past season. Regardless of voting Pro Bowls. He had quality moments. Was good in the short yardage Shove.

He got married. But I believe the play wore on him.

Kelce also.

Hurts is the guy that took way too much punishment on the play frankly.

Ridiculous for any coach to expose your Franchise QB so much

Clearly coached Hurts the most on avoiding the hits. Told him to not concern himself with finishing and making gains with his legs.

Avoid hits in space running….but directly lineup against all their D testing off in a scrum on him.

We know you think Hurts for everything.  They has it described as Hurts being the passenger and allowing himself to be pushed in ...just bury the head behind Dickerson and allow the guys behind to push.

Agree ...Hurts has traits for a QB sneak.  However...on this play the Eagles use and how Stoutland designs it... Dickerson getting the initial jump and Mailata finishing the push on the angle.. is what makes the play.  

The placing of the ball carrier behind the LG and LT who block on the angle pushing inside is what makes the play...with the guys finishing from behind.

Was a great video segment on the play.

I am an offensive minded fan and coach, and even I hate the rule change to eliminate the hip drop tackle. Hell, the defenders already can’t do 1,000 things. Let’s make it impossible to stop an offense from gaining 10 yards on 4 plays. I bet scoring goes up 5 points/game just from this one rule change. Ridiculous.

I also think the need to find a kickoff play that will work with no injuries has become a CIRCUS! Hell, put the ball on the 25 and play ball. 

Now we have another guy back there who can squat a ton in Bark

Hybrid KO this yr, may actually have to watch them now. Increases the need for good KO returners, estimating 60-70% of KO's will be returned now

This is a very tough rule here. It does appear they’ve identified this tackle for causing a high rate of injury. Hopefully it will only be enforced on aggression situations. Fine if they get rid of the defender throwing his legs up in the air to really drop tackle hard. Anything more than that? No idea….

Is any guy flying by a ball carrier but grabbing to tackle a penalty?
