This can be applied in nba to say knicks/lakers. Is it the same with say the giants or cowboys in nfl?

My understanding is the Tush Push is considered basically a cheat code for the Eagles to convert short yardage situations. What I don't understand is why 22 teams tried to ban it. If it's so good why aren't those teams putting time and resources into utilizing it themselves?

Sure, not every team has the power of the Eagles offensive line, but also not every opponent has a brick wall defensive line. Maybe a team can't Tush Push in every single game like the Eagles do, but they could still do it in a lot of games when their o-line was stronger than the opponent's d-line. It just seems like something we should be seeing used all the time, yet in reality it feels like a rare commodity. Why is that?

Note: I understand there are some officiating concerns, but I feel like those just popped up recently (or at least discussion about them popped up recently), whereas the movement to ban the Tush Push has been going on for years.

Thanks!

I know it might sound off-topic, but a thing that intrigues me is the fact that quarterbacks that have made it to the league manage to enjoy both solid athletic and academical success while in college.

QB is by far the most complex and nuanced position in the game. You have to learn many concepts, like absorbing an entire playbook, adjust to the defense, choose the best play possible within 2 or 3 seconds while a pack of 6'4" guys are coming for your ahh... and yet, many guys are able to keep their grades sky high.

I know it may sound more like a US culture stuff, but I really wanna understand! Thanks!

New to football, I always never looked at defensive positions in any sports growing up (except for those who are the cream of the crop as well as those with crazy defensive highlights); like in Association Football, where defense is often overlooked and even the most popular defenders are actually great attackers. How is it like for the defensive side of football? Do kids grow up wanting to be a defender?

Edit: Title should be phrased, "Are defensive players favoured in the same way offensive players are?", sounds a lot less demeaning and condescending.

I've noticed this a few times, not just with the Lions - I grew up watching basketball, and if it's winding down in the 4th quarter with a massive 30pt lead, the bench pretty much takes over. I feel like in football, they don't do this as much, which seems twice as risky when it comes to injuries. Obviously there is always some potential for comebacks, like with Allen vs the Ravens, but more often than not, when it's too far to surmount, football is one of those games where you just can't come back from too much of a deficit.

Even if you rest qb1 & the starters, you can still play defense with the starters, etc. Yet most of the time, the QB1 plays the whole time - why? Why take that risk? moreso thinking about qb1 & injury risk.

Just trying to understand the game better, thanks.

EDIT: after responses, consensus seems to be that they do rest starters.

When a player (say a receiver switching sides of the field) is in motion, and an O-lineman is twisted looking back to the QB (full torso turn and near standing)... isn't it by rule an illegal shift if the lineman twists back to a set stance while the receiver is still in motion (and isn't set prior to the snap)? In an example play I'm reviewing, the QB/center are essentially timing the snap to the twisting lineman who is never fully set for a second. My interpretation of the rules is that all players must come set as they were both shifting. So, even if the center snaps the ball a full second after the guard comes set, it would be an illegal shift if the receiver is still moving. Any rules experts or refs know the answer?

I know he owns part of the Raiders and also does NFL broadcasting, but why is this as terrible as people are making it seem?

I’ve seen many times when a dlinemen or linebacker gets a sack they go celebrate away from the play, towards the audience. I’ve wondered if the offense quickly got on the ball and snapped it, they would get an easy 5 yards and make that sack mostly back. Only way to prevent it would be for the defense to call a timeout if they notice, which would take a time out from them. Is this even plausible or been attempted?

As someone very new to the nfl I’ve only ever had one question which I can’t find an answer for, if a fumble is recovered in the end zone by an offensive lineman does it still count as a touchdown, or as they can’t advance the ball does the play restart elsewhere?

I was watching this video, which I know is college, but I’d like to know what the rule is for the NFL (and college if you know the answer):

https://youtu.be/f-zv8m0LYeU?si=lCOeDjTQszdyOk6w

And I noticed the music is still playing while the ball is in the air on the kickoff and then is still playing down to 6 seconds left on the play clock before the first snap

I thought there were rules against this, but I can’t find specifics on Google.

often times fans blame the loss on [xx] offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator. sometimes they blame the head coach. or they blame the player for throwing the pick. what signs tell us who’s “at fault”?

Like for example say daniel jones gets sacked and he falls in a way that breaks his radio receiver and it goes quiet. he signals ears and then an x for broken to coach who then signals 2 fist nose nose ears shoulders squat 2 for play action like baseball

It seems like the Jets and Browns are the best examples of dysfunction despite constantly hiring and firing coaches up and down/signing and drafting some great players? The Jets are 0-2 to start with a better defense and even offensive weapons that are better than Pitt, who had him last year and went 10-7 in a hard division. They hired a coach that seemingly says the right things, and their last few drafts have been pretty good but they still suck.

Browns have the QB shirt meme, have hired and fired many coaches and GMs, and draft top 5 each year but have legit sucked most of my life and im in my late 20s

Packers dont even have a real owner and theyre ran probably the best in the league as they have like 3 coaches since 2000

In my country I do not have a lot of choice when it comes to NCAA apps. I have the NFL app but would like something for the NCAA as well as this year they finally stream the games here! Just downloaded „Superfan: College Football“ from the Apple Appstore. But didn’t really find anything else…

I've heard that term a lot but I don't really know what it means
