Packers revised Tush Push ban moves Eagles one step closer to harsh reality

What changes did the Packers make on it and the effect it will have on the Eagles

The revised proposal includes the following language:

• "Push or pull a runner in any direction at any time or lift him to his feet
• Use interlocking interference, by grasping a teammate or by using his hands or arms to encircle the body of a teammate if an effort to block an opponent
• Push or throw his body against a teammate to aid him in an attempt to obstruct an opponent or to recover a loose ball
• Assist the runner except by individually blocking opponents for him"

The Packers are asking for a 10-year penalty "for assisting the runner, interlocking interference, or illegal use of hands, arms, or body by the offense." Their reasoning on the proposal is for "player safety" and "pace of play."

There have been zero reported cases of players getting injured on the play. Some clarity on "pace of play" could use some explanation, as this play typically takes three to five seconds, so it goes quickly into the next play.

Green Bay's revised proposal might be enough to move the needle to get it pasted. The concerns with other team owners were that it wasn't clear enough to understand which part of the play it was being questioned.

With half the league already on board with banning the play that has made Philadelphia so successful, there is enough concern that there is a high chance it passes. Eagles fans are hoping for the best, but if it goes sideways, there is already a backup plan to start including fullback Ben VanSumeren on more short-yard plays.

Let this proposal pass, and the Eagles will be on their revenge tour in 2025.
