Sometimes, we toss words around so often that they lose their sting when we hear them. If I hear someone called 'the G.O.A,T.' one more time, I swear I'm going to pull my hair out. There can only be one, right? No, scratch that... Philadelphia Eagles legends Jason Kelce and Brian Dawkins are both worthy of the G.O.A,T. title. You all get my point though.
Look at it this way. 'Genius' is another of those words we overuse or place on guys who are unworthy to wear the title. Then again, Howie Roseman and Jeff Stoutland are both geniuses in their own right.
You know what? Never mind all of that... Forget I said anything,, Jeff Stoutland is a genius and Jordan Mailata is further evidence of such.
Jordan Mailata just ended the 'tush push' conversation with a mic-drop moment.
If you knew nothing about Jordan Mailata before watching him play, you'd assume someone placed a football in his cradle at birth. Believe it or not, the opposite is true. A seventh-round draft choice in 2018, he never played American football before he arrived at the NovaCare Complex.
He didn't even know how to put his helmet on.
Stout is the greatest offensive line coach walking the planet. He took this lump of coal and forged him into a diamond, culminating in Mailata's Second-Team All-Pro nod this season. Recently, Philly's star left tackle appeared on 94 WIP-FM for an in-studio appearance. Naturally, we had to ask him about the tush push controversy, right?
His response will go down as one of the all-time one-liners of the offseason. "If I was getting my backside whooped I'd want (the rule changed) too".
"If I was getting my backside whooped I'd want it changed too"

Yep. Place that one on the Philly wall of fame next to "I had a purpose before anyone had an opinion", "Hungry dogs run faster", and "You can't be great without the greatness of others". Jordan also weighed in on Mekhi Becton and Jalen Hurts. Those takes are below.
Jordan Mailata with a lot of love for current free agent Mekhi Becton 💚
