With the tush push being so effective, they effectively only have to get 9 yards every three downs. So what kind of advantage does it give them
I think it’s more of a MENTAL advantage.
Knowing 4th and 1 is automatic even in your own half means you are always in 4 down territory and opens up the playbook more.
Also I think it grinds down the morale of the opposing defense knowing full well what’s coming on 3rd and 1 amd being helpless against it anyway.
That feeling of helplessness in that situation when a defense should be getting ready to leave the field is a big advantage IMO.
Don’t think as much as people think it is. Most good offenses have good conversion rates on 4th and 1. The eagles obviously are goated at it
More like only 8 yds, they can do the push for 2 yds all day.
Almost as big an advantage as they get from the reffing.
