Jason Kelce said ‘ban it’ to the Eagles’ Tush Push, but not for the reason you think

The debate over the Tush Push — or, the Brotherly Shove — play the Philadelphia Eagles run has always been silly to me.

If it’s so hard to stop, find a way to stop it. Simple as that. It harkens back to the sport’s roots in rugby, too, which is neat. But now there’s talk of banning it, and Jason Kelce has had enough.

On the latest New Heights podcast, the Eagles center addressed it: “Ban it.”

But here’s the context: Kelce said he’s “over the discussion about it” and that Philly will run it until it’s not allowed. And if that’s the case?

“Whatever they do next season, we’ll figure out a way to do something at a high level and make it effective,” he added. “We were 36-for-38 running quarterback sneaks before the push!”

Well said!
