NFL Not Looking To Ban The "Tush Push"
10 months agoNFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent doesn't think the "tush push," a quarterback-sneak tactic that the Philadelphia Eagles have perfected in short-yardage situations, should be banned. "Don't punish a team that strategically does it well," Vincent said. He said that the NFL competition committee didn't even discuss the tush push when it met at this week's NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis because everyone is on the same page that there's no reason to ban the play. There doesn't appear to be any real support for a ban of the play around the league. The general sentiment around the league, Vincent said, is that it's a credit to the Eagles that they've found a short-yardage play that works so well for them.
