Dak Prescott suggests the worst possible alternative name for the Tush Push

The Philadelphia Eagles' "tush push" has been a hot topic this season, though if it were up to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott it would be called something else.
His suggestion?
"QB sneak with a little bit of help."
Maybe that's because when the Cowboys and Prescott attempted to mimic the play earlier this season against the Los Angeles Chargers, they couldn't pull it off as well as Philly.
"They didn’t push my tush enough," Prescott said of the Cowboys' failed "QB sneak with an extra push."
As for the Eagles, they've had plenty of success with pushing the tush. And now the Cowboys' defense will be tasked with stopping them on Sunday for their Week 9 matchup.
Dallas' defense coordinator Dan Quinn knows it won't be easy.
"When the moment comes for this unique play, if you can get a shift in that field position change on a fourth down stop, that's big," Quinn said. "It takes special time and coaching. They're the best at it, right? When someone is the best at something, it'll take some new thinking and some new ways to go about it to stop it. It'll be a tough challenge, but it's one we'll definitely be up for."
It's also not impossible to stop since the Washington Commanders were able to do it just last week.
However, the Eagles bounced back from their failed attempt with a fake tush push that resulted in a touchdown.
On that note, Prescott might want to worry more about successfully executing the play himself rather than what it's called because as long as the Eagles are on top, the name "tush push" isn't going anywhere.
