This is why I do not want the tush push to be used every time we need 1 yard.
Kelce doesn't love the tush push. He has said that he ends up at the bottom of a mass of humanity. Via Laura Okmin of Fox Sports, Kelce shared during the season the words he would shout every time the play was being executed.
"***** my life!"
Via Okmin, quarterback Jalen Hurts confirmed that Kelce would indeed let that specific expletive fly.
It's no surprise. It's a tough, gritty play. Kelce's reward for pushing as hard as he can was a squishing by various other large bodies.
That apparently won't be happening again for Kelce. Which means that the Eagles will need to find someone else to anchor the play — and to utter a previously unknown catch phrase that, frankly, plenty of Eagles fans might be muttering today for very different reasons.
