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.
Outgoing Packers president Mark Murphy had said … “I am not a fan of this play. There is no skill involved and it is almost an automatic first down on plays of a yard or less.”
I can’t believe that’s the reasoning he went with. It does take skill,. especially from the line. They have to get low and engage the defenders just right in a rugby style scrum. It’s not automatic. Just look at Philly early in the season when they struggled more with it because Kelce wasn’t under center.
How it started: 34-29.
How it ended: 22-10.
