00:00 The tush push.
00:02 People want it like banned.
00:04 I'm curious what you think as a former player.
00:06 I don't know how you ban a specific play.
00:08 I mean, I guess you put rules in about where the players have to be lined up.
00:12 But just want to get your take on that as one of the all-time great quarterbacks.
00:16 Well, I'm not crazy about the play, you know.
00:21 Because why?
00:23 I don't know. It just seems...
00:25 Cheap?
00:27 A little bit.
00:28 I don't know.
00:30 It just seems like a mass of people.
00:36 You know, whatever.
00:38 It's just not something that I'm that fond of.
00:42 But to say now should it be banned, I hate to say that.
00:47 Just because the fact that the Eagles are the only team that's really got it dialed in.
00:53 Everyone else tries it.
00:55 It's like jet motion.
00:58 The Rams started doing it and then everybody started doing it.
01:01 But the Rams are still the only ones having any success with it.
01:03 People do it, but they don't even really know what they're doing or why they're doing it.
01:07 I don't like the way it looks.
01:11 But I was surprised, quite honestly.
01:14 I really thought that the league would get rid of it after this past year.
01:18 And my guess is just because some guys have gotten hurt when the Giants tried it.
01:24 And now there's more discussion about it.
01:26 My guess is that this might be the last year we see it.
01:29 I think it was the Giants.
01:30 They were just a complete embarrassment because nobody pushed Daniel Jones.
01:34 Nobody pushed and they lost two offensive linemen in the process.
01:38 But why do you think other teams can't pull it off?
01:41 And why are the Eagles the only team that can do it?
01:44 Because the Eagles quarterback can squat 600 pounds.
01:48 Troy, would you have enjoyed doing that?
01:50 Being shoved from behind as you plow ahead into a mass of people?
01:55 It sounds awful.
01:56 I went seven years without running a quarterback sneak.
02:00 And then Barry Switzer came in and couldn't understand
02:06 when we got stopped against the Eagles in 1995 on the road at the vet.
02:12 We went for it twice on fourth and one.
02:14 There was a penalty.
02:15 And Madden about jumped out of the booth.
02:17 I remember that.
02:18 That's on YouTube.
