1. That won't happen. Teams have been trying for the past 2 or 3 years to run it and no one has come close to the success rate of the Eagles. Besides, according to 22 teams this is a player health and safety issue, so I'd have to assume none of them will even attempt it. So you are looking...

I'd give it a <1% chance of being zipped next year. What is the argument for even proposing to remove it at this point? Everyone made their pitch, the teams voted, it remains legal. What is the new piece of information that is going to necessitate another round of voting? Its like double...

Right, thats exactly my point.

A bunch of teams tried to run this last year-Buffalo for instance. Sean McDermott came out publicly stating that this was a player safety issue, first and foremost. While I disagree with this take, I do wonder, can/will Buffalo try to run it again next year? I mean, all these coaches and...

Right. I do wonder if the ban actually went through, whether the pro- ban-it guys here would have logged in to crow. Probably not. I’m sure this thread would have remained on page two.

Someone do a wellness check on BR.

Tush push survives!

rarely.

I voted yes fire. As was stated earlier this reminds me of late 2000’s Eagles and Andy Reid. Had a ton of success and rarely had a “bad” season but at some point it was clear we were never going to get over the hump. Andy had the additional baggage of his son overdosing at the training...

Goedert is gone IMO. He shouldn't take a pay cut and he is definitely underutilized on this offense. Not anyone's fault but just by dint of talent on the offense he is like the third or fourth option in the passing game. There are quite a few teams I can think of where he'd immediately step...

Artificially inflated numbers due to Cowboysfan8 coming in to, "just talk football".

This is much ado about nothing. The rule was changed 20 years ago because it was very difficult to officiate accurately and the rule change got no opposition. It then took damn near two decades for anyone to capitalize on the rule change on a consistent basis. I don't buy the player safety...

agree. Also, isn't there a fifth year option that they can exercise on first round picks that they cannot on later picks?

I love Saquon as much as the next Eagles fan, but he had a lot of lean years a couple of hours up the turnpike. He'd need at least another two or three years of top flight RB production (not this year's production, but approaching it). The second ring he's getting this year will help also.

So your logic is that it's okay for a bunch of players to assist the runner forward. Yes. Not "my logic". The rules. and that if the other team can't stop it then too bad. Yes. Yes, of course. Isn't assisting the runner already illegal? No. Can a bunch of guys on OFF grab the runner and...
