Tash Push Debate at the recent NFL meeting was `animated ” before the vote on Tuesday

The proposal of Green Bay’s packers to ban Tash’s thrust – the variation in the eyebrows of the quarter -rendered by the Eagles of Philadelphia – will be a vote on Tuesday April 1 when the 32 owners of the NFL meet during annual League meetings. While decision -makers around the NFL are preparing for this vote, one of the most controversial potential rules in recent memory, conversations were intense according to a new ESPN report.

Kalyn Kahler of ESPN cited a “source with direct knowledge” of discussions, declaring that the proposal will be “very contested” among coaches, directors general and owners as they meet for the League meetings this week “. The discussion of the proposal during a meeting of Sunday football operations, which presented members of the Eagles Front Office, including Managing Director Howie Roseman, would have been “animated”.

Any change in rules requires a 75% vote to pass. The packers proposed an amendment to rule 12, section 1 of the league rules of rules, “to prohibit an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was aligned directly behind the Vivaneau and receives the Snap, immediately at the SNAP”.

Green Bay’s proposal would be based on the concerns about the safety of players and the pace of the game, although the criticism of the proposal say that no concrete data on the risk of injury to Tash push has been presented, and that some have only aesthetic concerns concerning the game.

The co -owner of Dallas Cowboys, Stephen Jones, member of the Competition Committee, presented a more convincing argument against the play: the thrust is not authorized on the other side of the ball, and prohibit the immediate thrust which will probably have no impact on the success that Jalen Hurts, who was famous for his lower body before his first snap with the Eagles.

“We are looking for consistency as a committee, and we do not allow to push,” said Jones. “We do not allow the seconds to push the players of defensive lines on additional points and we simply try to be consistent. These quarters, I am sure that they would have a resounding success, whether you are pushed or not. Truth in the meeting room and among the owners and see where we come out.

“I think that is in accordance with our rules, and I think that Green Bay has brought this to our attention, and that is what we consider as a committee, and there will certainly be members.”

Barely a few days ago, the Washington PostMark Maske reported that supporters of a successful ban by Tash Push were faced with a difficult battle. With the NFL meetings underway on Sunday, it seems that there is now a momentum towards the 24 votes necessary to change the rule, although the coach of Philadelphia, Nick Sirianni, certainly hopes that his influence with many new head coaches of the League can create a firewall to protect the most famous game of his team.
