Imagine Metropolis’s mightiest hero, cape billowing, facing fourth and inches. Now think about Lincoln Financial Field. The roar of the Eagles faithful with the season on the line. Which unstoppable force do you think would deliver when everything hinges on one brutal yard? Well! Surprisingly, even Superman might hesitate before lining up under center in Philly.
And there you have David Corenswet, the new Man of Steel himself and a die-hard Eagles fan since his Lower Merion days. After recently being asked a playful but pointed question, Corenswet delivered a verdict that sent shockwaves through the NovaCare Complex. Forget that heat vision or super strength. Philly’s signature play demands something more earthly. And Corenswet seems to agree to that.
Corenswet’s Shocking Tush Push Take
When grilled on trusting Jalen Hurts or Superman to execute the Eagles' unstoppable "tush push," Corenswet didn’t blink.
"Well, I mean, I'd say Jalen Hurts," he stated firmly. "I expect that there's a lot more technique and organization involved in the mechanics and success of the tush push than meets the eye, so to speak."
But he didn't just laud Hurts.
He even quipped Superman might just "end up tripping over his feet or something." It was a stunning endorsement of mortal skill over alien power. "I would trust Jalen with it. Mr. Hurts. Not that we know each other. Mr. Hurts," Corenswet added, showing genuine respect. But this wasn't just Hollywood fluff.
Corenswet bleeds green, spotted everywhere from Atlanta promotions to Instagram rocking Eagles gear and Wawa loyalty. His choice highlights the intricate brutality of Philly’s go-to move. Consequently, it spotlights the unique talent orchestrating it. Hurts has turned the tush push into an art form, plain and simple. And the stats scream Hurts' dominance.
His ability in these moments fuels the Eagles' championship engine, transforming short yards into long playoff runs and Lombardi trophies.
As the Birds gear up to defend their title, they don’t need a visitor from Krypton. They have their own grounded hero in Hurts, proving daily that true strength lies in perfected skill and Philly toughness. Or, as Roy Hobbs famously aspired in The Natural, "I could have been better. I coulda broke every record in the book." Hurts, play by punishing play, is doing just that.
