""I'm not going to get into it,""
""It is what it is. The NFL made a decision, and we have to find a way to try to stop the play, and it's a tough play to stop.""
""You can't allow them in those short-yardage situations because you know exactly what they're going to do,""
""And they've been pretty successful at it obviously.""
Matt LaFleur declined to say whether his view of the tush push changed after the team’s failed attempt to ban the play. The NFL owners voted down a Packers-led proposal to eliminate the play, falling two votes short of the 24 required. Former Packers president Mark Murphy, LaFleur and GM Brian Gutekunst described the play as a safety hazard. LaFleur said the best way to stop the play is to prevent short-yardage situations where it can be used. The Eagles ran the tush push 21 times in eight games with a 76.5% conversion rate; the Packers ran it five times.
