New OC Sean Mannion: Eagles Will ‘Lean Into’ Tush Push
Sean Mannion said the Eagles will keep the short-yardage play after it worked on 64% of attempts last season, according to a report.
- On Saturday, Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion confirmed the team will continue using the "tush push" during the 2026 season, stating the organization intends to "lean into" the signature short-yardage play.
- League officials previously considered banning the play, which sparked competitive fairness debates, but the proposal failed by two votes ahead of the 2025 season and did not arise for discussion before the 2026 campaign.
- Philadelphia converted the play 96.6% of the time in fourth-and-1 scenarios since 2022, though success rates dipped to 64% last season as the team led the league with 27 attempts.
- Quarterback Jalen Hurts noted the team is "calibrating" to Mannion's new philosophy, which replaces the system used under former coordinator Kevin Patullo, though these adjustments will not necessitate removing the play.
- While usage decreased from 164 attempts in 2023 to 102 last season, organizations including the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, and Houston Texans successfully utilized similar short-yardage tactics throughout the year.
