“I’m pro tush -push. When I’m there, I know the quality of the offensive line trainer they have in Jeff Stoutland, I know the quality of offensive linemen they have and how they are learned and the little details that make the game for it,” Foldes told Pakinomist Digital in a recent conversation.
“Not only what you are hurting to run the game, which is great for this; he is probably the best in the world knows it. And there is a reason why the little details are why it is so successful. So banning it doesn’t make sense because every team can run this spectacle, but team gets mad because they can’t do what Eagles do because they don’t have guys who teach the game.”
Foldes said it’s up to the judges, not the eagles, to properly function the piece.
“It’s up to the officials, not Philadelphia Eagles, to work it properly. Were false starting in the chiefs game Trying to get it to get it that it will get it that the first thing.

“You’re not trying to cheat the system, but you’re trying to use your snap count as a weapon in the sense of ‘we’ll be the first to the battle, we’ll be the first to get down low and get the gearing.’ That’s what makes the piece successful, so the snap count is always used for an advantage.
The one-time pro bowler said TUSH-PUSH is a very hard game to work.
“It’s up to the officials, I don’t know what they use the AI protection glasses, they use this to continue with when it’s not a gameday to work on seeing everything fine-tuned? It’s probably a very difficult game to be a legal game. They just have to call false starting if it’s a false start.
No matter how Foldes personally feels about the play, he does not see how the NFL can ban the piece. The former Eagles star said it would remove the team of its competitive advantage.

“I don’t see how you can ban it. If you want to ban this, you can’t let Brandon Aubrey Kick Field -Goal, you can’t have Josh Allen – you can’t throw the ball after four seconds. As if they have their competition benefits because they are so good at these things; this is the Eagles’ competitive advantage.”
Foldes cited the risk of injury as a possible reason for banning the piece, but said how offensive linemen that has run the piece does not see it as a risk.
“I think the biggest argument could be injuries, but I’ve talked to players about this spectacle, and that’s the acting they feel least likely to be hurt on The front line, that they run it, that line was not worried about running this spectacle and feeling sure to do so, ”said Foldes.
Foldes mentioned how when he and Carson Wentz were Eagles’ Quarterbacks in 2017 and 2018, before Turh -push, they were very successful with quarterback sneak. Foldes said Turh Push is just a further development in what had already been a successful game for the team.
Foldes believes that the NFL will make some changes to the play next season, but not forbid it completely.

“I don’t see how they can ban it. I think maybe they stop allowing players to push other players from behind, but I still think the piece is successful. I don’t think it will stop it, so they’ll probably make small changes here and there, but I don’t think they’ll ban it completely,” Foldes said.
Foles played 11 seasons in the NFL and were named the Super Bowl Lii MVP for his incredible performance with Eagles in their Super Bowl victory over New England Patriots. The one -time pro bowler played five seasons with Eagles (two different stints), a season with the then st.
