Report: 16 Tash Push Packers proposals

Packers made a defective proposal aimed at neutralizing Tash’s push. However, he won the support of half of the league.

Kalyn Kahler d’Espn.com reports that 16 sustained teams The submission of Green Bay, who would have prohibited players from pushing the player who receives the snap. Although this number has dropped eight votes in less than the minimum necessary to modify the rules, the split 50-50 confirms that the debate is very real – and that, when the owners meet in May, it could go in both directions.

However, at least half of the teams that were not ready to vote for the Packers’ proposal will have to change their minds for the status quo to be changed.

The problem could very well be the formulation of Green Bay’s proposal. This rule would have opened a separate can for the league concerning the good way to officer the game, introducing the subjectivity and the potential inconsistency of the crew to the crew concerning whether or not a thrust was immediate.

And if, for example, a flag is thrown away to cancel a touch of tash key when the regrowth was probably not “immediate”, the league should face the criticisms of civil servants who could turn into affirmations of the crowd in a tin in which the fix is.

The question becomes to know if it is logical to rewind the clock until 2005 and to prohibit all the thrusts of a ball tower. The rule has changed because the championship of a player who was fighting for more meters has never been called. No one realized 19 years ago that it would end up turning into a dilemma with whom the sports guards are fighting now.

A complete ban on pushing the player with the ball would become much easier and more specific to officer. And although there may be cases where an offensive line player rumbles to the battery and gives a healthy push without a flag being launched, this would eliminate the strategic use of the thrust and the push as an affirmative strategy on the melee line.

Everything comes down to the question of whether 24 owners will take behind the idea of ​​preventing his teammates from putting himself behind the quarter-Arrière and passing him in front of the line to win or the goal line. A complete prohibition of the thrust would solve the problem more directly and in a conclusive manner, without the need for civil servants to determine if a thrust was “immediate”.

An answer arrives before the Memorial Day. Which, in the large scheme of things, is about as immediate as possible.
