What’s stopping the Eagles from going for 2 every time, and using the Brotherly Shove? (alien.top)

it feels like every time they use this, no matter how obvious it is or how many defensive players rush the line, they get 2-3 yards. it seems to me like they could go for 2 and get every time, which could be a huge advantage in the long run of certain games. my brother asked this question last night during the xp after the qb sneak td and neither me or my dad had an answer because it seems like it would work 100%. is there a reason they don’t do this?

If I were the Eagles, I’d run it on 2nd and 3 or less, 3rd and 2 or less.

So basically on 2nd and 3, I’m gonna run it three times in a row if I have to, and get that first down.
