[@khamjaninja.]

10:57 That's not the fumblerooski. The fumblerooski is a trick play where the QB is under center and right after the snap, puts the ball on the ground behind the center and then pretends to still have the ball while sprinting away on a bootleg or handing off to a tailback who runs wide. Meanwhile, another player picks up the ball off the ground and runs in the other direction. The hope is that no one on D realizes the ball is sitting on the ground behind the center until it's too late. AFAIK, it's never been run in the NFL, because the NFL rules have long said you cannot intentionally fumble the ball - it's treated as a pass attempt and would be blown dead as an incompletion. The Holy Roller was allowed to stand because the refs couldn't be sure Stabler or the other Raiders were fumbling on purpose. But the fumblerooski is pretty obviously an intentional act - tough for a QB to claim that they 'accidentally' dropped the snap and then 'accidentally' ran away. It was legal in college football until 1992, and that's where people know it from. There is a similar play called the Bum-erooski, where the QB sneakily hands the ball off between his legs while taking the snap - usually to the fullback lined up right behind him in an I-formation. It's legal as long as the ball never touches the turf. That version has been executed in the NFL a few times. There's been folks who argue that you could still run the fumblerooski if the QB puts it on the ground behind them. As an intentional fumble, it would be treated like a pass attempt - but because it's a lateral pass, the ball would still be live. It's not clear whether this loophole would actually stand, and no team's ever tried to run it.

i’ve always hated the “tush push” as a rugby fan the rule in football is that the play is dead when forward progress stops. the problem is the tush push (aka scrum) is that it means the runner STOPS and then is PUSHED FORWARD even more. the runner comes into contact with a wall of players and they just keep pushing him forward. it should be banned because that’s against the rules of the game. if you wanna keep it then get the rules changed to where you can push the runner forward after his forward progress has been stopped.

The 2025 season will be a Super Bowl winner for the Broncos. Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the QB, Bill Belichick will be the coach. Josh McDaniels will be the OC.

The Polamalu Snap Jump is the only true counter to the Tush Push. The NFL needs to unban leaping and let the players sort it out.

Im a Washington fan who hopes the Eagles crumble faster than Boebert at a movie theater. However, the NFL definitely should NOT ban this "brotherly shove" play. Play better defense, period.

[@radiofreeutah5328]

They need to double-down on the tush push. Codify it to look more like a rugby maul. Sure, you can push the ball carrier forward, but you forfeit any forward progress spot. The play doesn't end until the ball carrier is down or out of bounds. Push your QB for that extra yard? Great! But if the defense can keep the QB upright and push him 30 yards back into the end zone, well, thems the breaks.

[@alexledonne4305]

the tush push used to be a penalty (Assisting the Runner) up through the '05 season. The NFL *UNBANNED* it for 2006.

It bothers me when the eagles or eagles fans say "other teams try it but they can't do it like we do it". That's true, but that's because they've been doing it for 2 seasons already. They came up with the idea, they went to a rugby expert, they've been practicing it for a while. They league will catch up and soon many teams will be 75%+ successful doing it. That's when it gets boring.

The brotherly shove was illegal in the NFL until 2005, in the NCAA until 2015 and is still illegal at pretty much every level other than those two.

I'm glad they got rid of the force out reception rule. It always was a really confusing exercise to try to figure out if the receiver could have gotten their toes down in-bounds before being shoved.

[@gameboyn64]

The nfl bans hurdling the O line because it's "dangerous" but is some how ok with ball carriers hurdling defenders running at full clip at each other where the chance of extreme injury is really high, not to mention unfair in a league pushing defenders to hit lower.

Nice to see Tombstone Jackson get his props! Haha that man was a savage!

[@One_vile_gt]

The sneak is fine… it’s having player’s directly pushing the runner that I find to much…

[@chromacypher8409]

It's my Birthday Weekend too! But my birthday bundle is Philadelphia Eagles! 😂

[@bertdeveau8295]

The NFL should allow this play to stay, and here's one reason why that no one's thinking of: The U.S. now has millions more people living here, many of them not familiar with NFL football. Why not make a rugby-like play a part of the NFL, to attract U.S. newbies to the sport? The new folks might indeed be familiar with rugby, and like it, and the brotherly shove does resemble a rugby scrum.

[@brix1094fuckhandles]

As an eagles fan, it pisses me off so much how people wanna ban this, if it was the patriots, 49ers or cowboys the media would be busting all over them, not calling for it to be banned.

[@playdiscgolf1546]

This shouldn’t be banned, there’s nothing more football, than lining your team against the other, and seeing who’s got more will power and strength
