Some anonymous team is trying to get the "tush push" banned!

[True Dough]

An NFL team has submitted a rule proposal to ban the "tush push" quarterback sneak, Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive vice president of football operations, told reporters at the scouting combine Monday.

Vincent did not identify the team that made the proposal when he made his comments -- during a break in meetings between the NFL officials and the competition committee -- to The Washington Post and NFL Network.

NFL owners could vote on the proposal next month at the annual league meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, unless the team decides to withdraw its proposal. If the proposal goes to a vote, 24 of the NFL's 32 owners would have to vote in favor for it to pass. Teams submit rule proposals each year, and those, along with proposals submitted by the competition committee, are then put up for vote by the owners.

"We do have a club playing-rule proposal around the tush push," Vincent said, according to the Post. "It's the way they deemed it, the tush push. ... It's on our agenda. The club proposal is, 'We need to make some adjustments to that. Is that a viable football play?'"

1. FWIW, other reporting says it is the Packers.

3. The Packers are opposed to the Tush Push?

I guess that makes them a bunch of ass clowns.

2. It is the Packers.

The Packers coach has been carping about it since before the Super Bowl.

I heard him complain to a sports reporter that it "wasn't a skill play."
The reporter shot back, " If there is no skill involves, why is it that only the Eagles have been able to have so much success with the play?"

Crickets.

4. It always was banned until 20 years ago

Pushing the ball carrier used to go with a penalty, 10 yards then 5 yards until it was legalized. You still cannot carry or pull the ball carrier. I would not be unhappy to see it banned again. Maybe at the level of the play being dead when the pushing occurs rather than a discrete penalty.

6. It might end up like the intentional walk in baseball.

Just wave the hitter to 1st base. In football, spend a down on offense for 1 free yard.

7. We should ban the Lambeau leap

Yesterday Rich Eisen, whose show i really like, was prattling on about it being "an unstoppable play" and then listed a bunch of teams who'd been stopped trying it. And he didn't notice the contradiction.

Maybe other teams need better O lines and QBs with massively strong legs.

8. It is almost an impossible play to execute for the Cardinals

The coach Jonathan Gannon is from Philadelphia so he tried the play a lot. Murray is too small so Gannon subs in Clayton Tune for the play and they push him but he isn't nearly as good as Jalen Hurts at it. I favor going for it on 4th down but the Cardinals are terrible at it.

9. I wish they'd ban

grown men saying, "tush push."

Especially Cris Collingsworth.
