Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce said the criticism of Tush Push will put the famous game under the microscope of the judges moving on.
Kelce, 37, warned that the judges will be “looking” at throwing a flag on the game.
“The judges will be looking for something to call,” Kelce said during a recent episode of “New Heights.”

“They have to be very, very careful because the calls are going to come and they have to be. Once it’s out and there are video ways, rightly.”
The seven-time pro bowler questioned fans who have claimed that Eagles’ offensive Lineman is on his way intentionally.
“Because there has been the claim that such is one thing that guys go offsids. As an offensive line, it is imperative that you get off on snap. So you do the best you can to get rid of it before the defender goes off on it, and exactly when that verbiage comes out of Quarterback’s mouth, you try to get it up perfectly,” Kelce said.

“And sometimes you’re a little early and I’ll tell you this: As an offensive Lineman, you’d rather be early than late, because if you’re delayed, it’s a very hard game to perform.”
The Super Bowl champion said the piece will be under a “microscope” because of the criticism.
“They will be under a microscope that goes on. Everyone will look at this because of what happened not only to you, but also this first week. Everyone takes pictures of it,” Kelce said.

“They say they’re in the neutral zone. They say they’re false start because they slow it down to suffer a thousand strikes per second.”
Eagles defeated Kansas City Chiefs 20-17 in a Super Bowl-Rematch in Week 2 to improve to 2-0. Quarterback Jalen Hurts scored at TUSH -PUSH to effectively put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter.
Eagles seem to improve to 3-0 when they take on Los Angeles Rams (2-0) in a new match for last year’s NFC division match. Rams travels to Philadelphia to take on Eagles at. 13 one on Sunday.
