Packers propose rule to ban 'Tush Push' play popularized by Eagles

Essentially, a potential clash of ideologies is being set up within the NFL's competition committee and annual consideration of proposals.

Last year, the league's owners approved the new dynamic kickoff format and banned the hip-drop tackle. Outlawing the "Brotherly Shove" was not on the agenda.

"Hip drop and the Tush Push were in the same conversation three years ago," Vincent told Battista. "A year ago, we felt like let's just focus in on the hip-drop tackle, and the Tush Push, just say, hey, the Philadelphia Eagles, they just do it better than everybody else. But there are some concerns. Our health and safety committee has laid that out today with a brief conversation on the injury report. There's some challenges, some concerns that they'll share with the broader group tomorrow. But the Tush Push will become a topic of discussion moving into March."

Bills head coach Sean McDermott, one of four NFL coaches on the league's competition committee, was asked about the proposal on Monday during his NFL Scouting Combine news conference.

"There's always been injury risk, and I've expressed that opinion over the last couple of years when it really started to come into play the way it's being used, especially a year ago," McDermott said. "I just feel like player safety and the health and safety of our players has to be at the top of our game, which it is. It's just that play to me – or the way that the techniques that are used with that play to me – have been potentially contrary to the health and safety of the players. Again, you have to go back in fairness to the injury data on the play, but I just think the optics of it, I'm not in love with."

The competition committee will have a month to prepare its arguments before the Annual League Meeting, which begins on March 30.
