I promise you that there are other good OL's besides Philly. Hurts is the difference.

Kenny Pickett seemed to be fine doing it

If it works out, it works out. I don’t want him but claiming a GM making a high risk/high reward pick and nailing it is a stupid decision is asinine. You can only knock him if it doesn’t work out.

Broken clocks can still be right. Taking Stewart is asinine.

Yea the key to the tush push is a fucking elite OL, lmfao

Proof?

The NFL is a copycat league so there must be another example, right?

The example is the QB's who replaced hurts doing it.

The Eagles OL is the key

I promise you that it’s the OL. Thanks.

Yes it is. But if a GM is right, then there is no criticism of the pick.

Pretty sure they converted every time kenny pickett did it. If an unathletic goofy white guy can do it I'm pretty sure its the OL

Lol, you actually believe Pickett doing a successful goal line sneak and looking exhaused afterwards is the same as Hurts doing it at will multiple times a game.

For the Eagles, Kelce is gone, yet the tush push remains -- will it still succeed?

It's fair to wonder whether defenses are getting better at slowing the play or if Kelce was the linchpin for the play's triumph.

Josh Allen was more successful % wise on tush push plays in 2024 as the Ringer reported.

I get that point, but the decision making process is still wrong. There is nothing that makes Stewart a top 10 pick other than athleticism. A GM leaning on gut instinct and athleticism is ridiculous.

I'm sure YOU could do it... It just wouldn't last long. Same goes for Pickett. The QB needs to be strong enough to consistently push as well as durable enough to hold on to the ball and not get demolished.

Josh Allen the 6'5 240lb hybrid QB/FB???
Ok so again you're saying it's the QB and not just the OL then?

 

[msadows]

xplosive is the new remy?

Guy cant be wrong about anything apparently

Taking Stewart at the #10 pick would be so stupid. That's a huge gamble that a smart team doesn't take when there are so many other safer choices and so many other needs on the roster.

Even if he succeeds it would still be a bad pick because it's stupid logic to even take that risk.

It would be a bad pick if he succeeds. Make that make sense for me?

@Luke

Here’s something Williams said about the Bears and playing through an injury. By the way, this article is by a famous author.

“Naming Ryan Poles and the coaching staff as something he loves is interesting to hear. It's clear he has a strong opinion about them already and with a need for a pass rusher, Williams could be a pick with a lot of upside for the Bears at No. 10 or even in a trade back. He has to be fully healthy, however.

Williams admitted at the combine that he was playing through an injury for most of the season, saying that he was playing at 60-70 percent. Even with that, he still produced five sacks and 2 forced fumbles. However, playing through that injury frustrated him.”

Mykel Williams meets with Chicago Bears and loved Ryan Poles

Georgia pass rusher Mykel Williams is an interesting prospect in the 2025 NFL draft and on Wednesday, he told the media that he met with the Chicago Bears.

Interesting, Williams was one of the first players talked about to the Bears and now we are cycling back to him. He fits the Allen DE profile.

What does Josh Allen’s size have to do with the much smaller Jalen Hurts? The Bills went 2 for 6 in the AFCCG vs the Chiefs on that play… and the 4 times they didn’t get it, the interior OLmen all lost their 1 on 1 battles. Odd that how worked out huh?

Remy is consistent in his arguments, whether he’s right or wrong. Explosive just drops his explosive diarrhea lack of logic in all of these threads.

 

[dabears70]

I mean if he succeeds, it'll be a home run because he'll be an absolute monster. But based off what we have to go off now, it's a hard no from me

Yeah that would be a tough one for me to but like i said on here before, if he does figure out how to finish on his rushes at actually sacking the QB then he could be an absolute beast. He has the pressures but for whatever reason doesn't get the actual sacks. It seems to me like it's something that can be easily fixed like D.Hunter did but i'm just a fan on a message board so maybe i'm totally wrong and it isn't easily fixable.

 

[dabears70]

He'd have to be an absolute game wrecker for it to even slightly make sense. I'd still have worries about Poles going forward because that would be so reckless and unnecessary to simply gamble that his athleticism alone will make him a good player.

Athleticism and getting the QB pressures. Everything is there for him in a glowing way besides the actual sacks.

He looked exhausted after doing a tush push? LOL
