After tabling the vote on the Tush Push during March’s annual league meeting, NFL owners finally voted on the controversial play Wednesday during the second offseason meeting in Minnesota. It would’ve taken a 75% majority, or 24 teams, to ban the Tush Push from the game, but only 22 teams were in favor of banning it.
That means the Eagles and nine other teams wanted to keep the Tush Push as a legal play, but were the Rams one of them?
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Rams were not one of the 10 teams that voted to keep it legal. Instead, they were among the 22 teams that voted to ban the Tush Push, which is hardly surprising after hearing Sean McVay’s take on it in March.
“I don’t believe in taking something out because they do it better than anybody else. And I told both John and Howie that when we were talking yesterday,” McVay said. “What I don’t like is the optics of that play. It looks like a rugby scrum. And there are some health and safety things, which those things exist in short-yardage and goal line situations, as well. So I’m kind of conflicted because you don’t want to be a hater because they do it better than anybody else, so I don’t agree with that. But I also wish we didn’t let the play in in the first place, in regards to the optics of what it looks like. It doesn’t look like football to me. And John and those guys, they understood it, but obviously, you know where they stand on that.”
Below are the 10 teams that were in favor of keeping the Eagles’ patented play legal.
The Rams will face the Eagles in Week 3 of the upcoming season, so they still have to worry about trying to stop Jalen Hurts’ unstoppable sneak in short-yardage situations.
McVay won’t like it, but for at least one more year, the Tush Push will remain a legal play.
