Seahawks attempt their version of a "Tush Push" with Jalen Milroe

Seahawks attempt their version of a "Tush Push" with Jalen Milroe

Yahoo4 hours ago
There is no play in the NFL these days that generates as much conversation (or controversy) as the "tush push" for quarterbacks. This of course has been thrust into the forefront of discussion due to the Philadelphia Eagles' incredible success with it over the last few seasons. The "tush push" has often been attempted by other teams, but rarely has it been replicated with any semblance of success like Philly.
Well, that is until Friday, August 15th, 2025 I suppose. The Seattle Seahawks kicked off their Week 2 preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs and sent their first team offense on the field to start the game. Seattle faced a 3rd-and-1 at their own 41-yard line, and unveiled a rather unusual formation.
Starting quarterback Sam Darnold lined up in the backfield. Under center was none other than rookie Jalen Milroe, who was shoved over the line to convert the first down, and the Seahawks would eventually score a touchdown six plays later.
Ever since Jalen Milroe was drafted, head coach Mike Macdonald has been adamant about two things: Sam Darnold will be the starter, but Jalen Milroe will play. Naturally, the use of Milroe's legs seems to be the most logical way to incorporate his unique skillset into the offense. Perhaps this is a taste of what might be on the horizon for Seattle in 2025.

Bournemouth FC: Antoine Semenyo kicks off his season with a brace against Liverpool

The Ghanaian forward makes a statement on opening day despite the Cherries' defeat at Anfield. Bournemouth FC: Antoine Semenyo kicks off his season with a brace against Liverpool Antoine Semenyo netted twice against Liverpool this Friday, August 15, 2025, at Anfield, on the opening day of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Despite Bournemouth's 4-2 defeat, the Ghanaian winger stood out with his blistering pace and clinical finishing. Antoine Semenyo delivered a standout performance in his first match of the 2025-26 season. The 25-year-old Ghanaian winger was the driving force behind Bournemouth's spectacular comeback attempt in a match that seemed lost after goals from Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo. Liverpool, reigning champions, assert their ambitions against Bournemouth Liverpool quickly established a comfortable lead in this season opener, thanks to Hugo Ekitike, who marked his Premier League debut with a goal and an assist. The Frenchman opened the scoring in the 37th minute before setting up Cody Gakpo for the second goal in the 49th. Antoine Semenyo's response began in the 64th minute, latching onto a pinpoint cross from David Brooks. The Ghana international slotted the ball home to reduce the deficit and reignite his team's hopes. That goal energized Bournemouth, and the Cherries began to believe in a miracle. Semenyo's second goal will be remembered as one of the finest of this opening round. In the 78th minute, he won the ball deep in his own half and embarked on a dazzling solo run of over 70 meters, finishing with a low drive that left Alisson rooted to the spot. Sadly for Andoni Iraola's men, that stunning equaliser wasn't enough. Liverpool regained the lead through Federico Chiesa in the 88th minute, before Mohamed Salah sealed the result in stoppage time. Semenyo's performance continues his run of strong showings at Anfield. He now boasts the remarkable feat of having scored half of Bournemouth's Premier League goals at this legendary stadium—three out of the Cherries' six strikes.
