The discourse about the Tush Push likely isn’t going to go away, but after Wednesday, neither is the Tush Push.<\/p>\n

Not enough NFL owners voted to end the play made famous by the Super Bowl champion Eagles. The vote was reportedly 22 for a ban, 10 against (24 votes were needed to change the rule; the Cardinals reportedly voted with the 22 majority.) The Eagles brought in retired center Jason Kelce to explain to owners the mechanics of the play in a bid to keep it around.<\/p>\n

(And then after the vote was over the Eagles posted a 26-minute video on YouTube of all tush push plays.)<\/p>\n

The idea of voting about banning the Tush Push was first broached around the March owners meetings. It was tabled, and then for this week’s meetings, the proposal was tweaked. Originally it was just about a play in which the player who received the snap couldn’t be pushed. The revised proposal, from the Packers, ultimately called for all pushes and pulls of a ballcarrier to be outlawed.<\/p>\n

That was actually the rule up until 2005, when it was determined officiating such plays was too subjectives. But everything is cyclical, right?<\/p>\n

Had the new rule been passed, it would’ve changed a lot of things going forward. That herd touchdown Trey McBride scored after a catch against the Ravens in 2023<\/a> wouldn’t have happened. (And to be clear, it’s not that the play would just be dead but a penalty would’ve been called.)<\/p>\n

The rule didn’t pass though. The Brotherly Shove lives to power through another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The discourse about the Tush Push likely isn’t going to go away, but after Wednesday, neither is the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2078],"tags":[375,390,2604,1327,1054,2874,1051,7,1053,1052,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-68290","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-cardinals","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-arizonacardinals","11":"tag-cardinals","12":"tag-darren-urban","13":"tag-darrens-blog-v2","14":"tag-featured-articles","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-home-page-news-headlines","17":"tag-mega-feed","18":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114547442800324829","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
