Eagles RT Lane Johnson: Tush Push is 'our rugby scrum.'
@Source: phillyvoice.com
Here's Johnson's entire quote from his appearance, which also covered his contract extension through 2027 and other topics about Johnson's pro and college career:"It has become a weird play. I never thought it would have grown to this magnitude of what is has become. Listen, I think the guys who should have the votes are probably the center and both the guards and probably the d-tackles that are in the middle. It's something that when you do it consecutively ... I think the main thing they were worried about is player safety. It's something that I run, I don't think a lot about it going into each play. But yes, it does favor a rugby scrum, but it's our rugby scrum, I guess."Luvu is known for trying to derail the Tush Push by leaping over the pile in attempt to avoid the O-line's forward momentum and barricade the QB behind the line of scrimmage, a maneuver he failed at pulling off on consecutive snaps in the NFC Championship, drawing offside penalties and also a warning from the officials. When LB Frankie Luvu tried to disrupt the @Eagles tush push in the NFC Championship, officials warned the @Commanders that they may invoke the rarely used, but long-standing, @NFL Rule 12.3.2 on "Palpably Unfair Acts."
