The Philadelphia Eagles' unique approach to the QB sneak helped Jalen Hurts convert on 36 of 40 attempts last season. It even made multiple appearances in Super Bowl LVII. Even though a late holding penalty allowed the Kansas City Chiefs to run the clock for the win, Hurts posted six of his 10 rushing first downs through the controversial play.
The QB sneak is not a new play, but the"Tush Push" has made the Eagles so aggressive on fourth down that it's ruffled some feathers this season., the Steelers defensive tackle spoke to co-host Hayden Walsh and guest Mina Kimes, about the play."It's illegal, they're never set. If you watch, the O-lineman are never set," Heyward said.
"It should be changed," he added."They are never given time, they hurry up to the ball and no one is ever set. They are rolling forward, I have this on tape, we can watch it. I'm always p—d off in these fourth downs because it's always so skewed to the offense. I'm just confused why they switched the rule, it used to be a penalty to push your guy forward. Nobody really noticed until the Eagles were like oh this is unstoppable.
"You keep doing that QB sneak, your guys are going down low, your quarterback is sitting right up here, up top. Headshotted. It's bad, it's dirty, it's not a good thing but you want a person to stop running that play that's what you do.
These are things the NFL could potentially consider if it does, in fact, opt to investigate the fairness of the play.
