How do you feel about some NFL owners wanting to outlaw the tush push?

NFL owners are convening this week in Florida to discuss all sorts of manners relative to the league as a whole. It is in situations like these that rules are changed and protocols are set for the future to come.

Oftentimes we applaud the rule changes that the league comes up with. They are very born of necessary evolution what with the game having changed thanks to any number of reasons, but sometimes they are the league tinkering with something for the sake of tinkering.

Consider how the league overreacted to the pass interference penalty that was not called against the Los Angeles Rams (which would have benefited the New Orleans Saints) in the 2018 NFC Championship Game. They made pass interference an even more complicated thing and had to undo it.

In our current moment some NFL owners allegedly want to outlaw/ban the tush push that the Philadelphia Eagles have popularized. Let the record fully show that I, and I imagine all of you, hate the Eagles with all of me. They are the worst of the worst.

But what I think is ridiculous is for the league or any one coach/owner/whoever to suggest that the play should be banned. Why? I have yet to hear a legitimate reason for this. Are we just upset that the Eagles are good at it? If this is the true reason, and I cannot see how it wouldn’t be, then wanting to get rid of it is among the most farfetched things I can think to waste people’s time with at an actual meeting where work is supposed to be done.

We didn’t suggest to outlaw sidearm passing when quarterbacks started doing that. Nobody freaked out and said that hurdling players shouldn’t be a thing anymore when runners started to do so.

You or I or whoever may think that the tush push is annoying, but the truth of everything is that it is simply something that the Eagles are good at. Very good, in fact. If somebody else – anybody else – wanted to be that good at it then they could work towards that.

These are my thoughts, but I am anxious to hear yours in today’s open prompt.
