Transcript
00:00great rob ninkovich number 50 in your hearts number one on the line
00:03right here on the greg hill show good morning nick how are you what's up we're back we are back
00:10i've got a super bowl right now i know i'm not going there yet but listen the whole tush push
00:19issue for me the play is boring it's boring i think that's why the nfl doesn't like it they
00:27want they don't like it they don't like the boringness of even the name of it the tush push
00:32like it couldn't be like the rhino roll or like the bull push or something the tush push it's boring
00:40but i get it you can't take away a team's advantage if they are built to do something a certain way
00:46that's like saying oh if you're built to run the football then you you shouldn't do that if you're
00:53having success you shouldn't do that we don't want you to have success if you're built a certain
00:57way so as a defender i would look at every when we're on the one yard line and we know what's
01:04coming you look at every single dude you say you know what they're going to do here it's up to us
01:09to try and stop it so you can't create a rule to stop a team from doing something that they have
01:16success with just because other teams are upset that they can't stop it i'm curious nick how do you
01:22think bill would have uh i don't know if he has but if he did what what do you think bill would
01:26have done to to successfully defend the tush push is there anything that other teams aren't doing
01:31that he would maybe have thought of well we we we definitely would have done some type of quick
01:36uh move motion so like you start a little bit wide and at one moment in one instant you have a
01:42linebacker screaming move as loud as you can and everybody jumps as quickly as quickly as they can
01:49in or out because those guys you got to think the offensive line you even saw they false started
01:54one of the one of the plays they didn't call it but they're on a hairpin trigger what that means is
02:00they're so ready to go that if anything makes them like move just a little bit they're already off
02:06so you have to try and get them in the mentality of or listen one time we were playing the 49ers at
02:12home i think that was the year that was like kind of misting um um it was like a misty nasty home game
02:18we were playing the 49ers was that the game with the kick return from the offensive lineman like
02:23went down to the one uh no that was the green bay game oh green bay sorry were you thinking green
02:29bay that was with uh dan connelly that's right sorry um but there was a certain instance we're on
02:34the goal line and they had one of the biggest offensive linemen i have ever seen like one of the
02:40biggest and and before the game i i knew like okay if i try to go head up on this guy he's gonna beat
02:47me because he's so much bigger than me so before the snap i just i said dude i'm gonna run through
02:52your face and i know you can't stop me and i got him so pissed off i got him so mad
02:57before the snap i twitched and he jumped offside
