Eagles WR DeVonta Smith explains what really goes on during the ‘tush push’

The Philadelphia Eagles have a nearly unstoppable play — one that the NFL plans to discuss banning next season.

But just because it’s highly successful doesn’t mean it’s without consequence, just ask Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith, who recently explained on the “This is Football” podcast what actually happens inside the “tush push” scrum.

“For folks that’s never been at the bottom of the pile, you can’t breathe,” Smith stated. “It’s just like, everybody’s on top of you. No matter how hard you try to breathe, it just doesn’t work. … I think at this point (our guys) just lay there. They don’t say nothing, they just be laying there, just waiting for somebody to help them up.”
