The Green Bay Packers put forth a new rule proposal to ban any form of pushing or pulling a ball carrier, revising their previous attempt which targeted the popular 'tush push' play. This updated proposal will be revisited during the NFL owners' meetings in Minneapolis, aiming to gain wider support by eliminating specific language aimed solely at teams like the Eagles and Bills that use the play effectively. Notably, the tush push has been successful for these teams, achieving a high rate of success in crucial game situations, prompting discussions about potential rule changes.
Ahead of a vote that could ban the tush push, the Green Bay Packers submitted a revision of their rule proposal that would more broadly ban pushing or pulling the ball carrier anywhere on the field.
While the initial language seemingly targeted the Bills and Eagles by specifically seeking to eliminate pushing immediately at the snap, the revised proposal is broader in an effort to entice more teams to vote for the ban.
