'Tush push' sticking around, says NFL exec Troy Vincent: 'Don’t punish a team that strategically does it well'

The Philadelphia Eagles have perfected the "tush push" in short-yardage situations and the rest of the NFL will have to continue to try and figure out how to stop them.

Appearing on Pro Football Talk Live on Thursday, NFL Executive V.P. of Football Operations Troy Vincent pushed back against any outcry to ban the play.

“Don’t punish a team that strategically does it well,” Vincent said.

Vincent added that the "tush push" — or "The Brotherly Shove" if you're from Philadelphia — was not on the agenda for the NFL Competition Committee this week as he felt there was not an appetite for discussion.
