If the tush push isn’t banned, it’ll be interesting to see which teams still try to run it after saying that it’s a play that puts their players in elevated danger.

Reposted from The Athletic

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur explains his opposition to the tush push.

Green Bay was the team who submitted the original proposal to ban the play this offseason.

they'll run it because it's smart football (and they're full of shit)

So Ban All Rugby plays in the NFL

Thought Sean McDammit was a scapegoat and got a raw deal in Philly. Now I can’t wait until he’s fired mid-season after Eagles stomp their ass.

Crybaby’s can’t stop it so ban it instead

McDermott ran it several times in the AFC title game. *Clearly* he doesn’t value Josh Allen’s health or safety.

The Athletic cited push for 18 game schedule and fake turf injuries as examples of “tUsH pUsH iS dAnGeRoUs” BS around player safety. Are these arguments birds will raise? Any others you can think of?

i want them to ban it. not because i think its dangerous unfair etc. but because the Eagles will still convert 4th and 1 at roughly the same rate and it'll make the team legendary. it'll be like when college basketball banned the dunk because of Kareem.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a bigger bullshit answer. Player safety hasn’t been an issue and he knows it. Whiny little bitch.

Yeah Matt? Well, I don't think you have a great football guy haircut. It's more of a choirboy haircut. Get wrecked, LaFleur.

Both of these yam bags (McDermott and LaFleur) ran it last year. McDermott the second most in the league. LaFleur even tried it with their TE. So either they’re whiny turds, or they don’t care about their players’ safety. The headlines write themselves at this point,

If they were really concerned with player safety, the hit on Hurts in the Washington game would be banned first, or at least add fines after the fact for cheap shots. Or the late blind side hit on smith after he was stood up for seconds.

It’s just whining from losers

Kicking the ball is also a rugby play. Better ban that too.

So if it's so "unsafe", why did they run it? Guess he's not really concerned about the safety if his players...
