The Tush Push has been one of the most controversial yet effective plays in recent NFL history. With the Eagles converting it at nearly 90% success rate over the last three seasons, it makes sense why other teams would be frustrated—especially if they can’t replicate it themselves.
Now that the Packers initiated the push to ban it, momentum is building among other teams to remove it from the game. It’s interesting because this feels more like a case of teams wanting to eliminate an advantage rather than a safety issue (which is how rule changes usually happen).
If the vote goes through, it would force the Eagles (and teams trying to copy them) to adjust their short-yardage strategy. But if it doesn’t, we might see more teams work harder to master the technique instead of trying to ban it.
What do you think—should the Tush Push be outlawed, or is this just sour grapes from teams that can’t stop it?
