push the tush play - horrible (Philly Fans Cling Desperately to Rugby Play In It's Final Year) (1 Viewer)

I don't need anyone to agree. That's fine. When their HOF center comes out and publicly says he screamed "FML" every time they ran that play I'll take his word that it wasn't enjoyable and speculate that it probably took a toll on their collective bodies over time.

I would think that pass blocking and sustained run blocking would take more of a toll on you then a QB sneak as an offensive lineman. I just don't see this play as being any more or less taxing then the other 50 plays they run in a game. I would think making deep runs in the playoffs the last couple years and a shortened off season because of it was more of an influence than running the tush push a few times a game.

Jason Kelce was getting flattened under however many bodies every time the tush push was run. Not hard to get the more impactful range of "gotta play through it" injuries after plays such as that. Bruised sternum, torn rib cartilage, one or more cracked ribs, etc. I can imagine someone from the opposing team - even more than one someone -- pressing down into Kelce's torso with a knee or elbow as they remove themselves from the pile. Good place for a rabbit punch or similar if an opponent can (literally) swing it, too.

Or grabbing a helmet and yanking on it.

The Tush Push play is a perfect setup for a lot of that non-sense.

Speaking on Pro Football Talk, NFL Executive V.P. of Football Operations Troy Vincent said there’s no support to ban the “tush push” at this time.

Vincent appears to be all-in on the “tush push,” saying that there’s no need to “punish a team that strategically does it well” while also adding the Eagles’ success rate on the play is “just amazing.” This should come as good news to Jalen Hurts and his fantasy managers. Hurts has totaled 28 rushing touchdowns over the last two seasons, with 17 of those scores coming from just one yard out. The push to ban the play has largely come from gripes over how successful it is, but as Vincent points out, a high success rate on a play that’s within the rules isn’t a reason to ban a play in the eyes of the NFL Competition Committee. Vincent noted that the committee didn’t even discuss the play when they met at this year’s Scouting Combine.

But did anyone make the "At some point this could cause an injury, so lets pre-ban it" argument?

Didn’t need to. The Chiefs already demonstrated that possibility to the whole league.

and compared to other plays, it's probably one of the safest plays in the game.

Was that like 2020?

And Dre Greenlaw demonstrated that jogging can cause an achilles tear. Guess we better make players walk on the field now.

Also, looks like we need a retitled thread since it appears this awesome football play is still going to be here in 2024

NFL executive Troy Vincent reiterates that it was best to leave the “tush push” alone and not present a proposal to ban it. Jeff Miller says there isn’t enough injury data.
“The #Eagles do it well,” Vincent said.

Sadly I think they run it less moving forward but it's nice to know they aren't outlawing a perfectly legal football play because some people don't like it or think it's ugly
