The NFL team has submitted a proposed rule to ban “Tush Push” quarterback sneaking. Troy Vincent, executive vice president of soccer operations for the NFL, told reporters for Scouting Combine.
Vincent did not identify the team that made the proposal when it made comments to the Washington Post and the NFL Network during a break at a meeting between NFL officials and the competition committee.
NFL owners can vote for the proposal next month at the annual league meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, unless the team decides to withdraw the proposal. If a proposal is voted, 24 of the 32 NFL owners must vote in favor of it passing. The team submits proposals for the rules each year, and they are voted by the owner, along with proposals submitted by the competition committee.
“We have suggestions for club play rules for pushing Tash,” Vincent said. “It’s the way they saw it, it’s a push of tash. …It’s on our agenda. The club’s suggestion is, “We need to adjust it. It’s viable.” Are you playing football?”
The play has been considered by the NFL and the Competition Commission in previous offseasons, but no action has been taken.

Despite the team’s success in play, Bills manager Sean McDermott shared a reservation on its safety during combined availability on Monday.
“For me, that play always had a risk of injury. I’ve expressed this opinion over the last few years or so, especially when it actually started to play in the way it was used a year ago.” and McDermott, who said he is a member of the competition committee. “So it feels like the safety of our players, and our players’ health and safety, must be at the top of our game. The techniques used in that play are against the health and safety of our players. It could be. I’m not in love.”
McDermott was asked by ESPN to balance the management of plays and prioritize player safety, saying, “It’s a little different to other teams. There’s a huge amount of power behind that player. There is, but yeah, you try to do… You don’t try to do what we do, everything we do, the basics, what we teach, in this case, we are the player Ask to do it, Health and Hygiene No. 1.
The Eagles, whose Jalen Hurts and QB Sneak Play are called “brothers’ Shob,” used the play to score their first touchdown at Super Bowl LIX.

In New Orleans, before the Super Bowl, Eagles manager Nick Cirianni said, “The success we have is not always replicated throughout the league,” and said, “Just because we have succeeded, I’m lobbying to avoid changing those rules. That’s it.”
“The hip drop and the tash push were in the same conversation three years ago,” Vincent said. “A year ago, let’s focus on hip drop tackle and tash push. However, our Safety and Safety Committee has said that some issues have been addressed and that some concerns. We are debating that will move to March.”
