Former Philadelphia Eagles all-time great Jason Kelce has spoken about the organization, the NFL, and plenty more around the league in recent years.
Kelce is now retired, but not before he had one of the more decorated careers in NFL history as an offensive lineman. One of the best centers ever, Kelce not only understands what it takes to play in Philadelphia, but he's used to winning at the highest level.
On top of that, he was also a big part of the Eagles' tush push.
While Philadelphia continues to run the play and finds success doing so, Kelce was one of the greatest ever at accomplishing it.
However, even he understands that it might be a play that has to be banned, adding that if the officials can't officiate on it, the NFL has to get rid of it.
"If they can't officiate it properly, that would certainly be a reason to ban it," Kelce told USA TODAY Sports. "That's the reality of it."
I hate the idea of removing a play because it's unstoppable.
Still, it's fair to suggest that if the officiating crew just can't figure out if players are moving too fast or there are other factors in play here, it might only be fair to the rest of the league to call it a false start or completely ban the play.
In the Eagles’ favor, however, it's also important to recognize that they run it better than any team in the NFL.
If it were as easy as everybody makes it seem, other teams around the NFL would abuse the play every chance they got.
As of now, the Eagles are really the only ones that do so.
"Does removing the push affect the issues that people are having officiating it?" Kelce questioned. "I don't know that removes ... everybody has an issue with the false starts.
"The offensive line is still gonna operate the same way whether it's tush push or a quarterback sneak," Kelce added. "The play in the Giants game – they ruled the forward progress stopped. I think it was a bad call. Like it looks like a fumble to me, probably should've been a fumble."
