[Jimbo123]

“Don’t punish a team that strategically does it well,” Vincent said.
Vincent further complimented the Eagles on their success rate with the play.
"Their success rate, just amazing," he added.

and as soon as an Eagle player is badly injured due to the Tush Push, Vincent will be the first one to cry foul to do away with it. Just watch. Its amazing til a key player on the line is hurt by it.

The same Troy Vincent who played 7 seasons for the Eagles. He should have to recuse himself.

Gonna be the Wussy Tushy without Kelce.

I never thought the league would seriously consider banning that play.

Has Jerry Jones advocated for it being banned? His son, Stephen, is on the NFL Rules Committee. Crickets.

 

[Redline360]

I know it's the Eagles but to even consider banning a play cause one team does it so well basically sums up how messed up the world is nowadays and everything gets talked about

 

[Vinnie2u]

My name is Vincent too. I advocate a player jumping over the pile and clothelining the QB. WWE style..

 

[The Quest for Six]

This is Football, not Ruby and that alone should be the reason why the Tush Push should be banned

Why would they ban it?

Who cares Eagles stink with or without it.

It always seemed simple to me....every team should have faked a lower leg injury after the play, and caused a delay....would have ended things quickly. Wouldn't have been hard to do....can't see anything in the scrum. Why am I the only one that has thought of this? Then again, I suggested that troy wear a doctor's examination room glove on his right hand in wet weather....genius, I know. Would have made the ball feel tacky as hell.

This isn't football. Get rid of it.

In pre 2005, the play would be whistled dead and a 10 yard penalty would ensue, but in 2006 the NFL lifted the ban which did not allow assisting a runner by pushing, pulling or carrying the runner. Why it was lifted i have no idea. I feel it should be banned once again since it is assisting the runner.

I was thinking the same, I wonder how successful it will be without Kelce.

I do think Vincent is correct here. Can't punish a team because no else can seem to do it with any success. It's there for the taking. The Cowboys are the opposite end of the spectrum whenever they try it. It couldn't look any worse! Eagles pick up 3 yards, Cowboys are lucky to get 3 inches.

 

[LOBO7]

IF the ball is on the goal line, why not just before the snap send a LB
over the top and target their Qb. Its a 2 inch penalty or maybe you guess right and stop the play.

It’s hard on the QB. I think it contributed to Hurts not playing well.

 

[The Natural]

My issue with this fruit booty play is that when an offensive player's forward progress is stopped by his own accord, the play should be dead. If offensive players can use leverage to extend plays then defenders should be able to use leverage on special teams to block kicks.

 

[This is Our Year]

As much as I initially hated the play and wanted it gone after seeing so many teams not be successful with it I basically was just like, you know what, they’re great at it why should they be penalized for it.

 

[zrinkill]

Why would you ban something only one team does well.

Seems like sour grapes to me.
