Numerous individuals, including both team owners and head coaches, have voiced their approval of the Philadelphia Eagles’ execution and mastery of the Tush Push. Surprisingly, one of the most unexpected endorsements came from a notable adversary of the Eagles over the past twenty years.

During his prime, ex-Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was renowned as one of the league’s top deep-threat receivers. Once an All-Pro first-team member, Bryant tallied 64 receptions for over 900 yards, along with nine touchdowns, while his team held a 6-7 record.

However, on Monday morning, Bryant took to Twitter to defend the Eagles’ utilization of the Tush Push and also took the opportunity to critique his former team, the Cowboys. “Although I’m not a huge fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, the idea of banning the Tush Push is absurd,” Bryant expressed.

“On a different note, I’m not seeking attention, but I admire how the Commanders and Eagles consistently demonstrate their desire to win, even though I dislike it. The Cowboys possess the resources to assemble an exceptional football team, so what’s truly happening?” This week, league owners are convening to decide whether to prohibit the Tush Push.

For the proposal to pass, 24 out of the 32 votes must be in favor. Currently, it appears that the necessary votes are lacking, and this might be the singular factor indicating that Bryant’s remarks backing the Eagles could potentially hinder the ban from advancing.
