Source: Tush Ban has support in Committee for Competition

West Palm Beach, FLA. – The Green Bay Packers“The proposal to ban move, known as push push, has support in the competitive committee, the source with direct knowledge said ESPN on Sunday.

Another source with direct knowledge of the Committee for Competition said that the proposal would be “warmly challenged” among coaches, general managers and owners when they gather at league meetings this week.

League office employees submitted proposals for rules on Sunday afternoon, and two sources at the meeting described the back and back as “heated” as to the proposal “to ban the offensive player in pushing a teammate who was directly behind the dress and immediately arrived.”

During the Sunday afternoon session, Philadelphia Eagles General Director of Howie Roseman, assistant CEO Jon Ferrari and two head coaches in the Competition Committee, Sean McVay from Los Angeles Rams and Sean McDermott from Buffalo BillsHe gathered in the side corridor in front of the dance hall to have a private and animated side interview on the Packers proposal.

Matt Lafleur’s head coach did not speak publicly about the team’s proposal and refused to comment on it when ESPN approached Sunday afternoon. Packers CEO Brian Gutekunst also refused the question of ESPN on Sunday afternoon. “I’ll leave it to someone else he might talk about,” he said.

Teams submitted by the proposal often save their argument for the vote Day, which in this case will be on Tuesday morning.

Green Bay introduced two reasons to ban the game that the Eagles celebrated: The safety of the players and the pace of the game. The more resources that were at the Game Committee meetings said ESPN that there were no injuries that would support this ban, rather a hypothetical conversation aimed at potential injuries.

The league presented the risk of injury to push plus data based on data and said that defensive players are at risk that they first start their heads, and endangered offensive lines due to their bent holding in a narrow window, which could lead to neck injury.

“It is not supported by data,” said one club director. “It was all subjective.”

Another source at the Committee’s Committee meetings said “It’s not a players’ security. It’s just a different game and it looks just different.”

Tush Push had critics around the league because Eagles debuted through the game during the 2022 season. Coaches and executives and players claimed that they were not a football game, some of which compare it with a rugby game.

This is the third offseason that the competition committee has reviewed the game, but the first time the club submitted a proposal for the rules aimed at its removal or restrictions. The first source with knowledge of the Committee for Competition said that the series “S — Show” at the NFC championship between Washington commanders And Eagles helped build the momentum towards the proposal of the current rules.

During the fourth quarter of this game, the commanders committed four defensive punishment (one offsides, three hits) for six consecutive push push, which began on their own yard line and preferred to give up at such a short distance (half the distance). The Eagles ran four times in the second place, in the sequence that took a minute out of the game hours and forced the referee Shawn Hochuli to officially warn commanders that if they had committed another “palpably unfair act”, he would give the eagles to the eagle. The Eagles scored at the TouchDown on the sixth attempt at push.

“That’s more because of the appearance of the game,” said the source, who was at the Committee’s Committee meetings. “For people who know how they want football to look at (fans) on Sunday. They want (fans) to make this game 50 times in the field?”

But only two teams, Philadelphia and Buffalo, launched pressure more than five times last season. And out of 35,415 overall games last season, Push Sneak was just 101 of these games, 0.28%.

“The thing no one likes about the discussion we have and the question you have just asked is that the rule is focused on two teams,” Atlanta Falcons Said the chairman of the CEO and Competition Committee Rich McKay. “We have rules that are losing some play or some tactics, or something that has never been considered, and suddenly has been introduced, and there is a rule that could be said to have such a tactics or the game, so I don’t think any of us as the fact that there are teams associated with the rules.”

The Committee for Competition shall not be valued or limited by the number of proposals for the rules before they are made for conversation at the owners’ meetings.

“There is no lens that we look at or filtered for any club design,” McKay added. “Every club can propose what they want, and then we (the Competition Committee) take a position, but we are only the individual voices of our clubs and then they have to get to 24 to go through.”

One source of the club said ESPN that their team would vote against the proposal because they do not believe that the proposal is “honest about the reason”.

The NFL head coach said ESPN that he thinks the proposal is motivated by petty, because some clubs do not have Quarterbacks capable of running pressure.

“It’s weak,” the club director said. “It is a team punishment that became excellent in performing the game. In 2022, when Philadelphia was the only team, there was a fear that the game was less convincing, because the fourth and short was no longer doubt.

“It looks jealousy.”

After the meeting of the Competition Committee ended on Sunday, the owner of Cowboys Stephen Jones explained the opinion of the committee on the game and design Packers.

“We are looking for consistency as a committee and not allowing to push,” Jones said. “We do not allow lines to push the defensive lines on extra points and we are just trying to be consistent. These quarterbacks, I’m sure they would be wild, whether you are pushed or not. I’m sure (I’m sure (I’m sure (I’m sureJalen hurts) Earns the first falls at high speed, whether someone is pushing it or not, because it is a disproportionately strong special athlete. So we try to be in line with the rule. Green Bay really pointed out that we felt as if it were necessary to check in the meeting room and among the owners and find out where we were going. ”

Jones and New York Giants The owner of John Mara, two owners of the Eagles division, sits in the Committee for Competition.

Does Jones think he’s fair, that this suggestion seems to be a team, the latest Super Bowl champion?

“I think it’s only in line with our rules, and I think Green Bay pointed out, and that’s what we look at as a committee, and it will certainly be considered,” he said.

There is a lot of gray area because the rules are now written.

“No offensive player must immediately try, push or throw his body against a teammate, which was built directly behind the Snapper and received Snap to help him try to get Yardage.”

“They cannot regulate every successful game that the team comes with,” said one CEO of NFL. “If it goes, it will be rewritten about six times. How will you find out what is” immediately “? Is it allowed to push the run back to the circuit? ”

Another Executive Director of the Club said he needed more information about what such details mean than his club can decide how to vote.

NFL Network announced that the eagle expects to have pro-tush allies’ pressure in former Philadelphia coordinators who are now the head coaches for other clubs, Kellen Moore s New Orleans SaintsShane Steichen with Indianapolis Coltsand Jonathan Gannon with Arizonian Cardinals.

“Everything I say is Gannon, Steichen and Moore a better vote for,” said coach Nick Sirianni Network. “They’re in the position of (head coach) for this game right now. So all three, I prefer the three votes and voting of eagles. At least I know we have four.”

The owners of all 32 clubs are expected to vote on all designs on Tuesday morning.
