There's value in making players think twice about going to your part of the field. When teams try sneaks on the Raiders, Maxx usually leaps the pile and lands right on the QB's back. How many times do you want to subject your franchise QB to that? On the other hand, Hurts is clearly a tough MFer, so maybe the Eagles stick with it no matter what.
Yeah Hurts is a beast and they have perfected it where he gets pretty well insulated by his guys. At some point he will get hurt doing it and that will be the end of the tush push. It's football, something will happen. But can they tush push their way to a SB before he gets hurt or it gets banned. I think NFL will ban it after this season.
