The ManningCast returned for its second installment this season, and tush pushes were on everyone’s mind after the New York Giants failed at one in a short yardage situation.
Indeed, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones tried the famous Philadelphia Eagles quarterback sneak play against the Seattle Seahawks but failed to pick up the first down.
Peyton and Eli Manning discussed the techniques of a proper tush push, and Payton got down to the fine details of what actually makes for a successful “Brotherly Shove.”
“That guard’s gotta get his hand more on the butt; he’s gotta get it up in there a little more,” Peyton Manning improbably said on national television on Monday night. “He’s not pushing hard enough… Pre-snap, he’s got to have his hand on the butt, and then go… You gotta push the right butt cheek specifically.”

There was so much talk of butts during this broadcast, and so early!
"All we're talking about is butt cheeks the rest of the game. It's having a huge impact on this game."- Peyton Manning #MNF pic.twitter.com/uLphkAzTsd

Well, in the year of our football lords 2023, Peyton and Eli Manning went on live television and talked in detail about football guys pushing on butts to get first downs.
The ManningCast is always good for a laugh, but this is just next-level hilarious (and surreal).
