Should the NFL ban the 'tush push'?

WEEI-FM / WEEI

Should the #NFL ban the 'tush push'? Currently the vote at the owner's meeting is a 16-16 tie. Should more teams be implementing the play?

00:00Uh, at the owners meetings, one of the things that was voted on was the tush push.

00:04That has since been tabled because the vote is 16 to 16 at this current time.

00:10And, um, I just, I don't understand owners in, or people in the NFL.

00:16This, they, they even said they want to go back to the pre 2005 rules.

00:21So you're telling me this has been in place since 2005 and none of you

00:26nitwits have tried to do this.

00:28Like the only team that tried to do it is the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:32Last season, there were two teams the entire year that tried to

00:36tush push more than five times.

00:38It was the Eagles and the bills.

00:40I don't know.

00:41Maybe just somebody try it, like do it yourselves instead of just banning it.

00:47I just, I guess I don't understand why people are such a sore losers

00:53is kind of where I'm at.

00:54It's like, brother, you, you can do it too.

00:57It's not illegal.

00:58Just like with the new torpedo bats in baseball.

01:01Guess what?

01:01Other guys are like, oh, I can do that.

01:03I'll do that.

01:04And guess what they do.

01:05Ellie Dela Cruz goes and hits two dingers like, dude, you can do it too.

01:09It's fine.

01:10You just, instead of trying to ban something, I dunno, utilize what you have.

01:15Well, Ted Johnson talked about this on the afternoon show and he's a defensive guy.

01:20And I can't remember where he stood on it, but his, he did make a good point

01:26where he said, what's that?

01:31What is it?

01:32It's just funny that you didn't know where, what his opinion was.

01:36Let me immediately go to Ted Johnson.

01:38Right.

01:39And then I don't know where he stands.

01:40Let me go right to Ted Johnson and what he said.

01:42Well, he made a good, and I don't quite remember what he said.

01:45Right?

01:45No, no.

01:46I remember what he said, but I didn't remember where, whether he was

01:49a Ford or against it, but he did say that it's how can he make a good point?

01:54Because I'm going to tell you the point.

01:55Okay.

01:55The point was that defensively, it's a penalty if you push the defensive lineman.

02:01So it was unfair that the defense can't push the defensive lineman, but the

02:08offense can push the ball carrier.
