This video missed the fact that the Eagles learned how to win the scrum by a Scottish rugby coach. That's what took it to another level.

I hope this isn’t banned simply because the Eagles have worked it into an art form.

Nothing brings me greater joy than seeing other teams attempt the brotherly shove and fail miserably!!🤣 Go Eagles!!🦅

Like Nick Sirianni said: If everybody could do it, everybody would do it! Go Birds!

Whether you like it or not gotta be honest that it takes skill

NFL made a small video of the brotherly shove, yeah this play ain’t going nowhere

It’s quite ironic that a Vikings defender thought up the idea. It’s even more ironic that in 2023 the Vikings attempted this play twice consecutively in an overtime period, and lost a few inches both times, turning the ball over on downs, and the Vikings lost that game in OT.

the eagles have the best center and one of the strongest qbs in the league-no one converts like they do

It’s not just a qb sneak! Timing, and execution have a lot to do with it! It’s the push felt round the league!!!!

It shouldn't be banned because other teams have tried it with much lower success. That means that the Eagles are succeeding because of better players, not because the play is "unstoppable"

I thought just last week, was I not paying attention? I've been noticing the push more and more; I love it! I don't care who is running it, it; 's fun to watch.

The Defensive side of the ball came up with a play that a Defense cant stop lol

how many yards is the average push? could you do 4 down pushes all the way up the field?

Defense needs to form up in a rugby scrum. Maybe get some O-line to counter the push with their own.

Brotherly Bust!!!! Find out that origin 😂😅

The way you stop it is by preventing the other team from getting to 3rd/4th and short. You can't do this on 3rd and 7

5:49 “I kept wondering when we were going to see this” ….no you didn’t, you’re not that smart.

Kansas State under Bill Snyder did this and they pretty much got 2 yards every time they ran it.

I used the QB sneak in Madden gets me the 1st down everytime

Kevin Gilbride did this in 2006 with Jared Lorenzen in the finale vs. Washington.

Its what football looked like before the forward pass. Football from 120 years ago looked like rugby with a line of scrimmage.

I don't play football in any capacity, videogame or otherwise, just like the complexity of the play design. It takes real smarts. You might therefore be surprised that I like this kind of play. The math is simple: Our offensive line is stronger than your defensive line and there is nothing you can do to stop a 1-yard rush. That's just sports. That's good sports. Rugby players are proud.

There is a rule against this play in the CFL. It is called a tandem buck and it is illegal to assist the ball carrier by pushing or pulling.

Mans got such a cool house

Proverbs 11:18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

Like what Rassie Erasmus did with the scrum, revolutionised it into a weapon!

Thats awesome that a linebacker is credited with it.

U can't pull a runner forward but you can push lol😂

I got mad respect for Barr

what the one thing that removed from this stops the play JAYLEN HURTS

5:20 IKE JUICE!!! 🎉🎉

Before doing it this way the Eagles were crazy good at doing QB sneak. I would love to see the NFL ban the "brotherly shove" and the Eagles still dominate short yardage situations 😂

Have to keep it legal. Get a few Mike Cron's over there to show them how to set and defend a scrum. If it compresses the width then there's more space on the flamks and out wide. Teach the players how to pass and catch. American Rugby is born!! 😂😂🤣🤣

I love it. Just uncontrollable amounts of strength

Ok I’m a bears fan but the Buffalo bills did push first. Yes the colts did it with Jacoby but week one in L.A. gabe Davis pushes Josh Allen, you can not ignore that

All the other teams just have some skill issues trying to master this

you mean the "Love Shove"?

It's clearly based in a Rugby Union rolling maul

This is rugby and glad this is now banned in a few weeks🎉🎉 lineman shouldn’t be able to be that close together…

I wonder if the Eagles could score a TD if they ran this play every down in a game. And how long would it take for them to get to the endzone from the 25?? 😂😂😂

Yall hate it cuz it’s not your team doing it, or stopping it 😂

They should just legalize defenders pushing a different other defenders

All it takes is a rugby coach who shows the Defense what a scrum is

If every team could duplicate the eagles success then sure ban it. But they have turned it into an art form that only they can succeed with

If pulling/assisting a runner is illegal, then pushing/assisting a runner should also be illegal.

Also, Jordan Maialata is a former Rugby player so I'm sure he has helped the team perfect this rugby move. I think it doesn't belong in the NFL and should be illegal.

Man I can't believe 2012 was 5 years ago

What happen to QB sneak

Dunno how espn gonna act like rugby players haven’t been doing this for years 😂 😂 😂

E A G L E S EAGLES... Fly Eagles Fly! I love how the film showed teams posing the ball carrier outside of the sneak. When the Bills (I think it was them) got like 11 yards from a team push the crowd was electrified. Plus it's always fun to see if a team will actually stop it. The fact that the opposing team KNOWS its coming and it's still very successful for the Eagles is a testament to their strength and proficiency. We have watched teams for 2 years now try to copy it and fail, fail, faaaaaail. There's no dispute that it's not automatic and that it takes skill or every team would have the same success with it. That in and of itself is a reason the play should not be banned. Add to that the low injury rate that everyone was concerned about. It's an awesome play I hope to see the Eagles use for years to come.

everybody keeps saying to ban it, but how? what exactly would you ban from the nfl so that this play isn't legal?

How the hell can you ban that play if literally no other team can do it besides the eagles. They better not ban it

Should be illegal. Was illegal for a long time until the NFL decided to aid offenses yet again for the millionth time & reduced prohibitions on aiding the ballcarrier.

This is rugby ruck.

God I hate seeing this play. It's going to take some guy getting a broken neck and ending up in a wheelchair before it gets banned.

GO BIRDS!! The NFL should be proud of the Brotherly Shove, it's innovative, and entertaining, but most importantly...unstoppable!! GO BIRDS!!

Well, my Bucs stopped it 🤙

the only stopping this is injury

I'm assuming they are being facetious with this video. Here is the best breakdown of the "Brotherly Shove" I've seen. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mYR_f22Zpn5qzaM.html

People who dislike the play are the people who will never go to the right lengths to come up with ways to stop it. Ron Rivera (as bad of a coach he’s been this season) has said he doesn’t think it should be banned because the commanders have indeed found a way to stop it. And other teams have had issues replicating it, showing it’s more a skill play than people realize. Brett Kollman breaks it all down brilliantly, and when people say it should be banned, and I can’t help but scoff a little

In rugby, it’s called a scrum.

I love this play especially as a Eagles fan!

The play must stay.

Hurts has been lifting crazy since high school

Not the derrière over there! 😂😂😂😂

That Vikings guy is so pointless

I laughed my ass off when the eagles fumbled during this play when they played the Commanders.

How to stop the Brotherly Shove: wait for Jason Kelce to retire 😃 Go Birds!

Keep the play.... If anything players gonna have to hit the weight room harder since it's a test of strength

How does the NFL think Reggie Bush didn't invent this with "the Bush Push"? What am I missing?

Look at a rugby scrum for inspiration.

1st and 9 GO BIRDS… 1st n 10 for the rest of ya

When everyone can do it maybe talk about changing the rule, so far it's only Philly consistently

Put like 5 guys behind the d lineman

Just need the D-lines to devise a way to stop it. Play evolves. Someone will find a novel way to stop it.

This whole thing is BS. This was developed decades ago by a high school coach who developed an entire offensive series around this idea. Wedge at 10, wedge at 8, wedge at 7. You dont block the defense you block the shoulder pad of the lineman inside you and dont stop moving your feet. I was a high school coach years ago and we would run this and 3 plays later we would be fifteen yards downfield and our own fans would be booing us because it was boring. It was a message to our opponent that you cant stop us.

NFL will ban this soon, even though the entire world knows what a rugby ruck or maul is. Makes sense: use that big Offensive line to do its job

it's a scrum...basics of the sport.

They hate us cause they ain't us #gobirds

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Fly eagles fly

NFL players today come off so feminine. Not Nick Chubb or Mcaffrey, Kittle, Jared Allen.

They shouldn't make it ilegal, BUT the should let the defense to do the same! It's cheating when the offense can push the players but you dont allow the defense to do the same.

Pure rugby and rugby players are really strong and tough real gladiators

National Felons League.

without this play, Hurts is a slower Fields with a little better accuracy

The only people against it have been on the receiving end of it 😆

based off NFL a human catpult is legal! stupid sport

Origins? Pushing the runner from behind was a common tactic until 1906 when, along with pulling the runner, it was banned in American rules until recently. Neither pushing nor pulling the runner was banned in Canadian rules until 50 years later. Pushing the runner's still illegal in Federation rules. The only thing is, before assisting the runner by direct contact was banned in 1906, there had been a number of years where the quarterback sneak was completely illegal because he had to move laterally 5 yards before crossing the line of scrimmage.

First!

As an Eagles fan, it is getting old. Most of our tds are boring. I don’t think they should outlaw the play but our offense needs to get more creative. Fly Eagles Fly 🦅

Go Birds!

Should be banned. Cheating. Was never allowed until this generations version of football has polluted the sport.

#260 like

I wonder has he thought if he never had broke Rodgers collarbone the NFL wouldn’t have these soft roughing the passer calls

Nice acting 😂

Shut up, Ike

lol NFL don’t wanna give credit to where it actually came from .. RUGBY

There are a lot of things I would call it but an art form definitely is not one of them.

Can’t help the runner. It should be banned. They stupidly changed that rule which was in the books since the beginning
