Tony Gonzalez admits pushing off is a big part of his success
I hope he didn't think he was fooling anyone!
As Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez prepares for the final game of his Hall of Fame career, he attributes some of his success to something that drives opposing players nuts: Pushing off. Defensive players routinely complain that big, physical receivers like Gonzalez get away with offensive pass interference. Gonzalez admitted to ESPN.com that pushing off is a part of his game. “I think I’ve always done that, and I still do it,” he said. “If you ask any defender in the league, they say I’m the ‘Push-off King,’ but it’s just creating leverage.” Smart players figure out where the lines are between what the officials will allow and what will draw a flag, and keep their play on the legal side of the line. Gonzalez has always been a smart player, and that’s part of what has made him a great player. Tony Gonzalez admits pushing off is a big part of his success | ProFootballTalk |
