With the tush push under scrutiny this week at the NFL scouting combine, Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni did his part to shove back on some of the growing narratives around the play.

Sirianni called it "a little unfair" that some are angling to have the play banned because it's highly successful for Philadelphia, adding that the idea that it's an automatic play is "a little insulting."

"I can't tell you how many times we've practiced the snap, we've practiced the play -- it's not a play that's easy to practice, so there's different ways we've figured out how to practice it -- the complements that come off of it that can create explosive plays," he said.
