Greg McElroy usually stays in the college football world but got a chance to give out an NFL take on Saturday afternoon. The tush push is a popular topic around the league right now, as people question if the play should be banned. Noise surrounding the play only grew after the Philadelphia Eagles took down the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2.

Almost everyone has an opinion. For McElroy, he wants the NFL to get rid of the tush push. He cited his lack of desire to see it executed, while admitting there might be a little bias in there due to his childhood fandom.

“Get out. I have no time for the tush push,” McElroy said during the Auburn – Oklahoma game. “I don’t want to watch rugby. I like to see a little more finesse, I like to see a little more action. I want it out, get it gone. Plus, you can’t stop it and I grew up a Cowboys fan. So, I don’t want to see it.”

The tush push has been a staple for the Eagles for a while now. Seemingly no other team can run the play at the same success rate as them. A lot of factors go into the call, from the offensive line to Jalen Hurts and everyone pushing him forward.
