As we’ve written several times this week, long live the Tush Push. At least for another year. A resolution effectively banning the play fell short by two votes during league meetings earlier this week, meaning the play will be used for the 2025 season. Given the Pittsburgh Steelers’ short-yardage struggles, it’s a tactic that should be on their radar. But neither Aaron Rodgers nor Mason Rudolph are good options to get under center and barrel ahead. Some, like the PPG’s Ray Fittipaldo, have suggested Will Howard to run it.
On paper, it makes sense. Howard is a big and strong quarterback capable of plowing ahead to gain a yard.
