Source: Tush push ban has support in competition committee - ESPN
One club source told ESPN that their team would be voting against the proposal because they don’t believe the proposal is “honest about the reason.” An NFL head coach told ESPN he thinks the proposal is motivated by pettiness because some clubs don’t have quarterbacks capable of running a push sneak. “It’s weak,” the club executive said. “It’s punishing a team who became excellent at executing the play. In 2022, when Philadelphia was the...

The Philadelphia Eagles’ have a lot of dead cap on defense, so how are they spending money on that side of the ball?

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the most consistently successful franchises in the NFL, and have a proven track record of success since Nick Sirianni took the helm alongside general manager Howie Roseman. That, plus a dominant Super Bowl win in February, make the Eagles an obvious model for other teams to follow. But what exactly is it that the Eagles do that leads to so many wins?

The reality is that it’s a combination of things:...

And even that one’s a stretch.

The clarion call to ban the NFL’s most controversial play reaches a head this week.

At the league meetings taking place in West Palm Beach, Florida, there are reports the Tush Push could be banned by the competition committee. Prominent head coaches throughout the league have been speaking out the last few days, both against and in favor of banning the NFL’s most unstoppable play, a key ingredient of the Eagles’ success in short yardage situations over the last three years.

The argument made by most of those in favor of a ban is...

NFL owners will vote on the Packers’ tush push ban this week. Local guy Sean McDermott, who sits on the competition committee, continued with his hypocrisy Monday morning:

#Bills HC Sean McDermott says being “proactive” on banning the tush push to prevent injuries, even if the data is not there now, is the best way to proceed: “We’re going to always act in a way that’s best for the health and safety of the players.” pic.twitter.com/sHCPRIsKh8

Sean McDermott is still anti-Tush Push

Says he still has injury...

Kalyn Kahler has the byline for an ESPN report from Sunday night titled Source: Tush push ban has support in competition committee.

There are a lot of really great nuggets in here.

Among them:

“The Green Bay Packers’ proposal to ban the push sneak, popularly known as the tush push, has support within the competition committee, a source with direct knowledge told ESPN on Sunday.

Another source with direct knowledge of competition committee thinking said the proposal would be “hotly contested” among the coaches, general managers and owners as they gather for league meetings this week.”

Just...

The Man - Iggles Blitz
My biggest takeaway is that Nick Sirianni isn’t getting enough credit for the coaching job he did. Saquon Barkley had one of the great seasons in NFL history. Jalen Hurts came up big when the team needed him. Zack Baun became an All-Pro linebacker. Jalen Carter did his impression of a one-man wrecking ball. Player after player had amazing seasons. Those guys deserve a ton of credit. Vic Fangio turned the 30th ranked defense into the NFL’s best. The assisted...

How would you grade this projection?

Welcome to this year’s Mock Simulation Series! Each week, I will run a simulation of the 2025 NFL draft using the Pro Football Focus Draft Simulator.

Round 1, Pick 32 (for the Super Bowl Winner): Colston Loveland, Tight End, Michigan

I now strongly believe one of the Eagles first two picks will be a tight end. If they hang around at 32, Colston Loveland makes a ton of sense for the offense. Loveland’s skill as a receiver would immediately make him one of the top three targets in the passing game.

**Round...

ESPN to release behind-the-scenes Chiefs documentary made by the same team as ‘The Last Dance’ - Daily Mail
ESPN has announced it is developing a new behind-the-scenes documentary series focusing on the Kansas City Chiefs. The network revealed the series will be produced by ‘much of the team’ behind the smash-hit Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls documentary ‘The Last Dance’. The crew was given extensive access to Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and their teammates during the 2024 NFL season, when they were trying to make...

The 2025 NFL Draft is loaded with offensive line talent. It doesn’t matter if a team needs help along the interior of their offensive line or on the bookends, this class is loaded.

For the Eagles, they already have the best tackle duo in the NFL between Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. They also have the best offensive line coach in the league and Jeff Stoutland can mold even the most raw players into contributors or even stars. Before he was what he is today, Mailata was a seventh-round pick who never even played football before.

There’s buzz that the...

NFL on the verge of banning the ‘Tush Push’ - SB Nation
It appears as though detractors of the Philadelphia Eagles’ most unstoppable offensive weapon are going to get their wish. The possibility of banning the “Tush Push” has been on the table since the end of the NFL season, and now it’s drawing closer to a reality. A vote from NFL owners will come next week on whether or not to ban the controversial play, with Dianna Russini of The Athletic saying that there’s...

I need a series of AJ Brown teaching Jr. how to be great. I crack up every single time he tells him to say good bye to his mom:

“She gonna be there…for lunch and dinner.” The only reason I want kids is so I can troll them like this. Also, so I can make them do things that I don’t want to do like fetch a screwdriver and all I have to say is, “I’ll time you.”

Then again Jr. is getting a crash course in greatness for free. I wish my dad would’ve taught me this at...
