00:00Baltimore Ravens Prove Why the Tush Push Should Not Be Banned by NFL with Derrick Henry Neglect

00:06The Baltimore Ravens chose to attempt a tush push against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday

00:11instead of giving the ball to Derrick Henry.

00:14They proved why the play should not be banned.

00:16It was an epic failure.

00:18If the NFL can figure out how to properly enforce its most controversial play, there

00:23is a way to stop it.

00:24Perhaps the Ravens should have let their monstrous running back pound the rock instead.

00:28NFL referees need to do their job.

00:31Player safety was the primary catalyst for the attempted tush push ban last offseason,

00:36though the vote ultimately failed.

00:38No data shows higher injury rates for this play, making the argument irrelevant.

00:42Safety wasn't at risk.

00:44However, this season there's a new call to ban it due to officiating challenges.

00:48The Philadelphia Eagles often commit false starts, giving their line an advantage.

00:53The NFL's attempt to erase evidence online failed.

00:56The Eagles violated rules with four straight tush push plays against the Giants.

01:01Banning it over officiating is logical, but better false start calls might be the solution.

01:06The tush push can be stopped.

01:09Regardless of whether you like the play or not, a properly officiated tush push is completely

01:14legal.

01:15Philadelphia just does it better than everyone else.

01:18On Sunday, the Ravens faced first and goal at the four-yard line.

01:21Henry gained three yards on first down, but didn't get another opportunity.

01:26Baltimore opted for a tush push.

01:28Mark Andrews failed to score on both attempts, and a loose ball nearly favored the Rams.

01:33If you can't stop the Eagles, so be it.

01:35That is another discussion.

01:37The Ravens ultimately gave the ball back to Henry on fourth down, but he was stopped short.

01:42Two unsuccessful attempts at the tush push proved to be the difference between six points

01:46and none.

01:47If the play can be stopped, it should not be banned.
