With the tush push being so effective, they effectively only have to get 9 yards every three downs. So what kind of advantage does it give them
More like only 8 yds, they can do the push for 2 yds all day.
10%?
Yeah, it’s not that. It might actually be higher. But I don’t math well. So……10%?
The way it opens up the playbook for them and the fact that yards matter more each down I’m just not sure. Because in reality it make a 2nd and 6 really 2nd and 5. It just changes so much
Depending how you do it 2nd and 5 can be as good as 1st and 5. Just depends where on the field (though the Eagles have been daring once or twice deep enough in their territory).
It’s an age old want from coaches. A play that is about a guarantee of 2-3 yards each time. I don’t think this one is a guarantee forever, but it has been so far.
It’s admittedly boring as fuck, but also effective as fuck.
You don’t punt on 4th and 1
They’re not gonna do this on every 4&1 ya know
One thing I have noticed is that the Eagles do extend alot of drives using the tush push even if they are in their own side of the field.
Hard to quantify how big of an advantage that really is but I do recall one drive where they used it multiple times to just keep the drive alive and score with it.
