​Sean Mannion is bringing a new offensive system to the Philadelphia Eagles as the team’s fifth offensive coordinator of the last six seasons.Nonetheless, the 34-year-old coordinator made it clear Philadelphia will continue to rely on its iconic “Tush Push” play during the 2026 NFL season.”It’s going to be a part of what we do. It’s been an extremely effective play here,” Mannion told reporters when asked about the play at a Saturday, Aug. 8 news conference. “We’re going to lean into that. It’s something this organization has executed at a high level. So along with many other elements to our offense, certainly, it’s something that will be a part of it.”No NFL team has enjoyed more success running the Tush Push than the Eagles since its popularization. Philadelphia has been uniquely positioned to run the play – which features a player lining up behind the quarterback to push him forward in short-yardage situations – efficiently because of their talented offensive line and quarterback Jalen Hurts’ power and leg drive.The Tush Push has been viewed as controversial in recent seasons. The Green Bay Packers proposed a rule to outlaw the play ahead of the 2025 season because of concerns about player safety.The Packers’ proposal needed to garner 24 of 32 votes for the Tush Push to be banned. It fell two short of that threshold, as 10 teams voted to allow the modified quarterback sneak.No such challenges to the Tush Push were mounted in 2026, which freed Philadelphia up to once again rely on the play. It was just a matter of whether Mannion would commit to it again, especially with one of the play’s architects, offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, stepping down after 13 years.But with Mannion’s assurance, NFL fans can expect to see Hurts and Co. continue to bully opposing defenses in short-yardage situations.This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Eagles ‘going to lean into’ Tush Push in 2026, Sean Mannion says
