Philadelphia Eagles can always use the “tash push”. On Wednesday, the owners of the NFL voted against a proposal that would have prohibited the game, according to league sources.
These league sources have said Athletics These 10 teams – including ravens, patriots, lions and jets – voted against this proposal, presented by Green Bay packers. The majority of the league finally voted for a ban, but the packers’ proposal dropped by two shy votes of the required voting threshold.
The leadership of the Eagles was pressure to protect the part they had perfected until the end. According to a source from the League, the owner Jeffrey Lurie addressed the owners assembled for more than 30 minutes before the vote on Wednesday, stressing the need to clean the process, not the game itself, saying: “The one who votes to prohibit this game is to take responsibility to put the risk on our quarters.” After Lurie’s speech, the former Eagles Center Jason Kelce testified to the safety of the play.
During the screening combination, the Eagles coach Nick Sirianni called him “unfair” to ban a room simply because they were good in this area. GM Howie Roseman had an animated discussion with the coach of the Rams Sean Mcvay and the coach of the Bills Sean McDermott in a corridor during the April League meetings. At that time, Lurie also rejected the concerns about the safety of players: “I think that for everyone, including myself, in particular, health and security were the most important thing when assessing any game,” said Lurie. “We have been very open to all data exist on Tash’s push, and there simply have not been data that shows that it is not a very, very safe game. If it was not the case, we would not push the push of Tash.”

The decision brings a conclusion to an offseason of drama during which the leaders, coaches and players of the league offered their opinions on one of the most confounding and controversial games in the history of football: the quarterrier takes a shot and advances while the teammates push him from behind in a rugby scrum.
Formal pressure to prohibit TUSH’s thrust started when the packers submitted a proposal to the NFL competition committee in February. Green Bay coach Matt Lafleur argued that the game did not belong to the match because of his “rugby” qualities, and Lafleur and other coaches said that the game was a risk of injury. A vote was filed in April, and the packers submitted a revised proposal before this week’s meeting, adding a wider ruling language which “prohibits an offensive player from pushing, pulling, lifting or helping the runner, except by individually blocking the adversaries for him”. Sources of the league told Athletics that the Competition Committee and the NFL Health and Security Committee recommended the proposal to prohibit the part.
No team uses the QB Sneak more frequently or more effectively than Philadelphia. According to Trumedia, the Eagles have directed their quarter-back 122 times in situations of 1 rod to take away since 2022. The Bills (74), the Steelers (55) and the Broncos (52) are the only other teams that have exceeded 50 of these races in the last three seasons. The Eagles scored 30 affected and won 105 first in this period.
The Eagles were built on past techniques and made the former Scottish rugby player Richie Gray at some point to advise them. Kelce often talked about how Tash push was exhausting on her body. During an appearance in March on “The Steam Room” of TNT, he said “for me, as a center, it sucks”. However, Kelce spoke in favor of the game, adding that “football is a sport that comes back to physicity, assault, our will against your will for a court.”
In April, Commissioner Roger Goodell said in an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he had not yet seen an “overwhelming push anyway”.
“But I think that as people see the different things that the committee has considered and heard the conversation,” added Goodell. “I think they will really develop a consensus.”
The wide AJ Brown receiver had a more based on a question when it was questioned on the game on Tuesday. “I have no reflection on this subject,” said Brown. He stopped. Raised his shoulders. RI. “It’s just a meter.”
