Sean McVay joins the Crybaby Club over the Tush Push ahead of Eagles vs. Rams on Sunday
Sean McVay joins the Crybaby Club.
In case you didn’t notice, the Tush Push is back in the headlines and while I personally don’t enjoy writing about it, we don’t really have a choice. Supply and Demand. Gotta do it. The Eagles went into Arrowhead, handled business in a 20-17 win, and like clockwork, the Crybaby Club started recruiting new members.
Chiefs players and coaches complained about false starts, as if that was the reason they lost. Now, Rams head coach Sean McVay is jumping head first into a full-time club member.
Instead of worrying about how his team is going to stop Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ offense on Sunday, Sean McVay decided to go full tough guy in front of the media… but in reality, he just sounded like another crybaby who doesn’t like the best play in football.

– LA Rams Coach Sean McVay says he will talk to the NFL about the Eagles Tush Push so he can figure out how to coach against it Sunday in Philly

“Anytime that you see certain things you have conversations with the league office to just make sure that you’re understanding how it’s officiated, how can we coach it,” McVay said. “I did see some of those things last night and that will obviously be a big talking point because they’re such a damn good team and it’s such a successful play for them. But I’m sure they’ll operate within the confines of not getting a little bit of a rolling start before the ball is snapped.”
Sounds like damage control to me.
Sean McVay is already coming up with excuses in case the Rams lose to the Eagles for the third team in just a year. Which is incredibly lame because we will once again preach here at The Liberty Line: Why didn’t every team in the NFL spend the offseason trying to figure out how to combat the play?
Sean McVay isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last to whine about a play that has been perfectly legal and unstoppable since the Eagles perfected it.
Add him to the ever-growing Crybaby Club, who sound more like toddlers begging for rule changes than actual competitors.

The funny thing is that fans, players, coaches, and analysts are claiming the Eagles are somehow starting offsides on this play. And my response is a simple one, and it’s the truth; perfectly summed up by the Birds offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo:
“Some games they call it close, some games they don’t. Defense is always lined up offsides anyways, so I mean …”
Nick Sirianni Isn’t Sweating It
Nick Sirianni addressed the noise on Monday, and unlike Sean McVay, he kept it real:
“I think the one clip I saw of it was slowed down so much that I’m not sure you can see that to the naked eye. The referees have a hard job. They have to make split second decisions at full speed. You slow anything down frame by frame and you’ll find something. We know we have to be perfect in that setting, and we’ll keep working on it.”
That’s the difference between Philly and everyone else. While other teams complain, Sirianni and the Eagles just go back to work. They don’t care about the noise. They care about converting first downs and winning football games. Which is something you’d think would be Sean McVay’s focus this week.
