The Packers submit a revised proposal to ban the tush push play ahead of the Spring League Meeting that’ll impact Green Bay more than Philadelphia
The Packers have taken their pettiness to a whole new level, and this latest decision could impact the Green Bay offense and every other team in the NFL.
NFL owners will again meet on Tuesday and Wednesday to vote on the Tush Push proposal. They expect to have enough votes this time. Green Bay continues to push the narrative, and according to Adam Schefter, submitted an amended proposal that’ll impact them more than the Eagles.
The Eagles have come under fire for utilize a standard quarterback sneak that incorporates lining up two players behind Jalen Hurts, who receives the snap, uses his powerful legs (600-pound squat), with the push of his two fellow Eagles from behind, attempts to gain the necessary yardage for a fresh set of downs or a touchdown.
The play has been so incredibly effective for the Eagles that Hurts finished in a tie for the fifth-most rushing touchdowns (14) in 2024, and he’s halfway to 100 (55 rushing scores) after just four whole years as a starter.
According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, 16 of the 24 necessary teams needed to pass voted to ban the play, and rather than complete the vote, the league pushed it back.
Green Bay’s proposal to prohibit the play has focused on two main reasons: Player safety and the pace of play. ESPN reports no injury data to support the ban, rather a hypothetical conversation centered on potential injuries.
The Packers’ amended proposal will now penalize Green Bay and other teams when they help push or pull their own players in the end zone or ahead for a first down.
Now, another vote will happen.
