Travis Hunter the right choice? Former Jaguars Head Coach Coughlin thoughts<\/p>\n

Former Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach Tom Coughlin weighs in on Travis Hunter’s draft<\/p>\n

(Editor’s note: This story has been updated with additional information.)<\/p>\n

The Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> were among teams that opposed the ban of the “Tush Push” according to ESPN Insider Adam Schefter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Schefter reported that Jacksonville was one of 10 teams who voted against banning the play run by the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in short yardage situations.<\/p>\n

The NFL ruled to allow the play to remain legal after a 22-10 vote amongst NFL owners during league meetings in Minnesota on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Trevor Lawrence: Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen’s offense ‘has a lot of answers’<\/a><\/p>\n

According to a tweet from Schefter on X<\/a>, the Jaguars<\/a>, Eagles, Ravens<\/a>, Browns<\/a>, Lions<\/a>, Dolphins, Patriots<\/a>, Saints<\/a>, Jets<\/a> and Titans<\/a> were teams who voted in favor of keeping the play.<\/p>\n

The ban was brought forth by the Green Bay Packers<\/a>, who sought a ban for the play and rallied votes to their side to remove it from the game.<\/p>\n

However, they fell two votes short of the 24 needed to pass. So the “Tush Push” is safe, for now.<\/p>\n

How have Jaguars fared against Tush Push?<\/p>\n

The Jaguars saw success against the play in their Week 9 meeting with the Eagles<\/a> last season. They prevented the Eagles from advancing on multiple occasions in the 28-23 loss to the eventual Super Bowl champions.<\/p>\n

Former defensive coordinator Ryan Nielson said the Jaguars would “tush push back” ahead of the matchup with Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

It’d seem several teams will take that approach moving forward as they try to stop the short yardage play.<\/p>\n

NFL votes to keep Eagles Tush Push play<\/p>\n

The Green Bay Packers<\/a> submitted a revised proposal to ban the play earlier this week. In the updated proposal’s language, no offensive player may\u00a0“push or pull a runner in any direction at any time or lift him to his feet.” The Packers also eliminated “immediately at the snap” in the updated language.<\/p>\n

Most opposition, including Packers president Mark Murphy, to the “Tush Push” has pointed to a previous rule that said you can’t push or pull players. According to NFL Competition Committee chairman Rich McKay<\/a>, it was too hard for officials to officiate, which is why the rule was done away with in 2005.<\/p>\n
