Packers ask to make tush push illegal

[gtb1943]

I remember.

another dumb rule change by the competition committee.

this year, you cannot do an onside kick until the fourth quarter
you can only do it twice
AND YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE OTHER TEAM WARNING

morons

Wish this rule was in place on December 7th, 1941.
Lol

well, their original plan was to give us one hour warning, sort of.
ya know, like a five second head start trying to outrun a cheetah

Just implement some rule that prevents injury while also evening the match up...

Something along the lines of:

You have to designated the play before hand

No trickery to the outside

Olineman and DLineman can't dart their bodies to the ground trying to get the lowest position

If you want a muscle play...at least designate it and make it where there can't be trickery.

The offense is always at an advantage. Allowing a bulldozer play with an option of trickery is too unfair, imo. Take something away to make it more even.

Defenses have to deal with this play and running QBs while attempting to chase receivers around...something has to give...it's too easy to scheme against.

Don't say rules can't be implemented...there are thousands of them. It's like saying taking pre snap motion away would ruin the game

What a silly post. Let it stand or ban it for safety reasons. Don’t over litigate it.

What's silly about it?

Other things are litigated in football.

It's too easy of a play. When perfected, it's too easy to force the defenses hand..."stack 6 or 7 or 8 guys in the middle, I'll fake it to the outside"

It's the center, both guards, the QB and two backs...that's 6 guys pushing up a small lane. The other team has to have 6 or 7 guys to defend it properly.

Too easy to scheme a chunk play or gain an easy short yardage first down.

You could run a jet sweep and have a tackle swing out and block...a left tackle and a wr on one side blocking for the jet sweep runner...against probably one corner back. The jet sweep guy just has to break one tackle, maybe from a safety, and it's going to the house. Or fake the tush push and have a speedy receiver burn his man.

The defense is spread to thin, imo. I don't like watching sports where one team had a significant advantage. In this case, the offense.

Right now it isn't being overly used, but I could see it getting there and ruining the viewers pleasure. The running QB is about to start getting out of hand. Can't believe coaches aren't taking advantage of it...the ones who have running QBs. I think Mahomes could grab 7 yards on most plays easily. That starts to wear on the viewer, if the defense literally can't stop it. I mean...it's looking like only like 3 teams had the personnel to stop it if KC just spammed it. That starts to get to a point of not entertaining to me...maybe not you.

I see Troy Vincent mentioned their safety committee is looking into it. I think they end up banning it.

From what I've read, not one injury has been reported from all the teams running it.

Want to stop it? Stop the team from getting short on 3rd or 4th.

To ban the play, all you need to do is ban teammates pushing their teammate forward on the field. Thing is, the NFL probably won't do it. To ban it due to one formation is kind of like stupid.

Banning pushing teammates forward would impact a lot of plays.

It would prevent lineman from helping the ball carrier downfield...you see that play a lot. Running back gets stoop up by a defender but neither go down, there is a short stalemet, until lineman come from behind to reinforce the runningback.

Maybe if you prevented pushing non ball carriers. Still gets hazy, though.

Best thing to do is for the nfl to monitor the success rate of the play, determine if many things have been tried to stop it but aren't working, have convo with coaches and players about the play.

I would assume it's too early to ban it. I could see the play being too easy to scheme for chunk yardage in the near future.

It's a rugby play. I like watching football plays. Nothing against rugby at all.
