Packers submit revised proposal to ban ‘tush push,’ decision could come this week
When the Green Bay Packers meet the Eagles on Nov. 10, will Philadelphia's famous “tush push” play still be legal?
The Packers have submitted a revised proposal to the NFL to ban the play that the Eagles have worked to perfection in recent years. A discussion is expected on the proposal this week at the league's spring meeting in Minneapolis, and an announcement is expected this week on whether the league will ban the maneuver.
The initial proposal was tabled April 1 at the annual league meeting.
According to NFL.com, the updated proposal would ban any play that constitutes “assisting the runner” — pushing or pulling a runner — “in any direction at any time” or lifting him to his feet.
