Giants legend Carl Banks has wild solution to stop Eagles’ ‘tush push’

Carl Banks is tired of the “tush push,” and he came up with a unique way to try and stop it during Monday’s WFAN radio broadcast as the Giants took on the Eagles.

The Eagles’ “Brotherly Shove” has been one of the most talked about plays in the NFL this season, with opinions varying on its fairness, with Jalen Hurts picking up many a first down in the short-yardage situations.

Despite the controversy surrounding the play, Philadelphia has utilized it over the past two seasons to great success, which included the win over the Giants.

In the first quarter and the Eagles at the one-yard line, they went for the push to get Hurts into the end zone.

The move prompted Banks, 61, to discuss how he’d stop the “tush push” if he still played.

“I’d jump offsides again,” he said. “It’s on the one-yard line. What are they gonna do, move it another inch?”

The Eagles then picked up a first down using the play on a fourth-and-1 late in the first quarter, and Banks again advocated for the Giants to jump early to prevent the play from happening.

“Tell you what, I’d be jumping offsides every single play,” Banks explained during the broadcast. “​I’d go over the top of the center and intentionally hit the quarterback until the league out-rules it until you can no longer run it again because you’re taking free shots at the quarterback.”

Giants radio play-by-play man Bob Papa interjected that teams have tried that to stop the tush push before Banks quickly jumped back in to explain the difference between his strategy and what’s been tried before.

“They’re not jumping offsides to do it though,” Banks said.

Banks’ strategy of jumping offsides wasn’t met with as much of a reaction as his suggestion of jumping over the center and hitting the quarterback was.

Angry Eagles fans took to social media, and Banks acknowledged he said what he said and owned it in several exchanges with fans on X.

A fan holds a "Hurts U Can Push My Tush" sign at Lumen Field on December 18, 2023 in Seattle, Washington.

“I said because I’ve done it.. I was asked and I answered.. cope harder,” Banks wrote to one fan on X.

As for the push itself, the conversation rolls on about it, much to the annoyance of some prominent members of the Eagles, especially one heavily involved in the play.
