The Philadelphia Eagles have perfected the quarterback sneak in recent seasons by having players push the QB from behind. Philly’s “Tush Push” play has been nearly impossible to stop, and Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton said at the NFL combine last week that he will use it this season if it’s not banned.
“I’m a little jealous we didn’t come up with the idea,” Payton said on Feb. 28. “It’s just a version of the quarterback sneak, but with a little more to it. Everyone is pushing, and it’s a scrum. Here’s one of the things you learn: You can’t control — if they vote to not allow it, then great. If they vote to leave it alone, then great. We’ll study it.”
