Can Aaron Donald help Rams stop the Eagles’ ‘Brotherly Shove’?
LA TimesEagles quarterback Jalen Hurts sneaks for a touchdown against the Buccaneers. But even Donald will be challenged Sunday at SoFi Stadium if the Philadelphia Eagles run a play dubbed, generally, the “Tush Push,” or, Philly-specifically, the “Brotherly Shove.” The short-yardage play, nearly always a success for the Eagles, begins with quarterback Jalen Hurts under center and ready to take a snap from five-time All-Pro Jason Kelce. We got some other things maybe we’ll try.” Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris respects the Eagles for conceiving the play and for executing it so effectively. “So I don’t really understand what’s taken so long to get it out.” After the Eagles executed the play so effectively last season, the NFL competition committee took no action to prohibit it. “So they continue to go with it, and we’ve got to do our best effort to try and push them back and knock them back and get a couple stops.” Rams outside linebacker Michael Hoecht said the Eagles have undoubtedly gained confidence from their success running the play.
