Eagan, Minn. (AP) – Can the Tush push the goal line? Or will the comfortable and trendy Korte-Yardage strategy of the NFL be filled?
League owners will probably answer that question in Minnesota, where they have arrived on a rainy Tuesday in the Omni Viking Lakes Hotel for their spring meetings next to the Vikings Team headquarters. After setting the issue seven weeks ago, a vote was expected on Wednesday about the proposal of the Green Bay Packers to ban the game that became popular by the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. To perform the ban, 24 of the 32 teams must approve.
NFL player participation in flag football in the following summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, a much less polarizing problem, was also in the docket for owners to consider.
If it is assumed, the competition would then have to negotiate security provisions and planning logistics with the NFL Players Association and Olympic and National Team Administrative bodies before it became reality during the matches of 14-30, 2028. No more than one player per NFL club would be allowed.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said that last month he believes that the owners will reach a consensus about the Tush -Push problem that means both competitive integrity and the safety of players. The competition released a revised proposal on Monday by the packers who broadens the language to push, pull, lift or circling by forbidding an offensive player, not specifically for Quarterback assists. The punishment is 10 meters. This is what the Rulebook stated 20 years ago, until the prohibition was lifted due to the difficulty of enforcement.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has led the defense of the piece that his team has developed with the coincidence of a strongly legged Quarterback Jalen Hurts in 2020.
The NFL has no convincing data to support a connection between the Tush -Push and an increase in an injury, as Lurie noticed during the previous league meetings in Florida. The Buffalo Bills are also a frequent user and prefer a ban on safety, as head coach Sean McDermott said after the mood was submitted. The Tush-Push, who is also named the “Brotherly Shove” in a catchy and smart turn to the Greek-Naar-Engelse translation of Philadelphia, not only assigns a player to push the back of the Quarterback for extra force behind a tight nine-man line, but sometimes takes a blocker to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try to try it.
However, health is only half of this debate. Entertainment is the other.
While the Eagles have almost perfected the game for four and 1 or 1-yard line situations with well-chosen staff and well-rehearsed precision, it looks more like rugby than football.
The Packers, who lost to the Eagles in the first round of the play-offs last season, belong to various teams that expressed their aversion to the evolution of the traditional Quarterback in a total scrum. On the memo that will be distributed by the NFL on Monday, the reasons for the proposal for the proposal are the safety of players and the pace of the game.
“It was controversial when the forward pass came out,” Lurie said during the last competition meetings. “I think aesthetics is very subjective. I have never judged whether a piece looks good.”
Regardless of the fate of the piece, the honesty and pleasure, it will certainly talk during the season, especially prior to the Monday evening match on November 10 when the Packers organize the Eagles.
Both teams have a good chance to compete in the charged NFC for the play -offs, which can unfold a little differently as a proposal from the Detroit Lions passes this week. Just like the Tush -Push, a vote was submitted to the most recent meeting for further discussion about changing the sowing rules to strictly base the order on the general winning percentage instead of guaranteeing division winners The first four places in each conference.
In this case, division winners would no longer get the automatic home game, as the Los Angeles Rams did in January after the end of 10-7. Although forest fires forced the game to be moved to Arizona, the Vikings had to go out despite 14-3, one match behind the lions.
NFL owners will also consider various adjustments to the kick to the kick from the competition committee with the aim of increasing the recovery percentage.
