The NFL owners will meet in Minneapolis next week to discuss a proposal regarding the “tush push” technique, with uncertainty surrounding whether the Packers have submitted a finalized proposal to ban the play. NFL executive Jeff Miller noted ongoing discussions about rules surrounding pushing and pulling players, emphasizing the historical context of such rules and the need for a consensus among clubs. While there is momentum toward banning all pushing of the ball carrier, it remains unclear why the more targeted solution of limiting pushing in the tackle box hasn’t gained traction, despite the Philadelphia Eagles’ ability to continue executing effective quarterback sneaks regardless of the outcome.
