Peter King is not a fan of the "Tush Push" also known as the "Brotherly Shove," which has been perfected by Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles.

"I don't think it's a football play," the esteemed NFL analyst told Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio on Thursday's 94WIP Midday Show.

"I don't think when the fathers of football invented this game, they invented it so that two or three guys can push somebody from behind and try to help them gain yards. Look, it's a rule. The Eagles are taking advantage of it, good for them. As long as it is a rule, they should take advantage of it. I don't blame the Eagles. The Eagles are simply playing this game by the rules, I blame the NFL competition committee that, to me, saw something that really doesn't look like football and said, 'Well we're not going to do anything about it.'"

The entire NFL community is up in arms over the "tush push" after the Eagles used the play multiple times in their win over the Bucs on Monday Night Football.

"It's a football play," Eagles' offensive lineman Jordan Mailata told Jon Marks and Ike Reese earlier this week on 94WIP. "It's been part of the game for how long? We just perfected it and everybody hates it. I can see both sides, honestly, but it's just one of those technique things."
