Eagles OC Sean Mannion says Tush Push stays in offense

Eagles OC Sean Mannion says the Tush Push is not going away

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion told reporters the Tush Push will remain part of the offense, per ESPN's Tim McManus. Mannion, a first-time OC, was hired this offseason after two seasons with the Green Bay Packers.

The confirmation matters because there was a real question about whether Mannion would bring the play along. The Packers formally proposed banning the Tush Push the previous offseason, a proposal that did not pass. Mannion being on the other side of that history made his stance on the play worth watching.

What this means for Jalen Hurts fantasy managers

Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles, draws most of his fantasy value from rushing production, and the Tush Push is a direct line to short-yardage touchdowns. Removing it would have trimmed his goal-line upside. That concern is now off the table, at least based on Mannion's public comments.

Mannion has described his system as a blend influenced by the Sean McVay and Matt LaFleur coaching tree, and Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles, called the new offense refreshing and unlike anything he has been part of before. The research notes also flag a Heavy.com report suggesting Mannion will rely less on the Tush Push as a primary tool and open the offense with more motion and middle-of-field passing, but no other source confirmed that specific framing.

The Tush Push was less effective in 2025 when linemen Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens were not healthy, and opponents found better ways to stop it. How often it actually gets called in 2026 depends on personnel health as much as scheme.

For now, Hurts owners can cross one worry off the list. The play is in the playbook.
