The Philadelphia Eagles have mastered the Tush Push, and everyone in the NFL knows it.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be lining up to counter that in a new way in Week 4.
On Tuesday, the Bucs signed Desmond Watson to their practice squad.
Watson is a 6-foot-6 defensive tackle. In the pre-draft process this spring coming out of Florida, Watson measured 464 pounds.

He's believed to have gotten down to 437 pounds over the summer, but he was cut anyway. The Bucs worked him out last week and brought him back to town.
Watson had goals to meet, GM Jason Licht said this summer. The implication is that now, Watson has finally met some of those goals.
He's likely below that 437-pound weight, but it's unclear exactly how much he weighs now. Watson will still likely be the heaviest player to appear in an NFL regular season game, if he gets onto the field.
In the lead up to the draft, Watson was called the "Tush Push Terminator." There's never been a player on the interior of a defensive line quite like him.

The Bucs would still have to bring him up to the active roster for gameday from his current practice squad designation, but that'd be a simple roster maneuver if they determine Watson is ready for the call.
And if anyone was going to slow Jalen Hurts on the specialized QB sneak, it'd be a defense with Watson and Vita Vea in the middle.
It'd at least be fun to see this tried out. And if Watson can't even stop it, then the Eagles' Brotherly Shove may truly be unstoppable.
