00:00The tush push survives only 22 votes to the yes on the Packers proposal to ban this play

00:09two votes shy of the necessary 24 that would have been the super majority needed to ban the tush push

00:1622 yeses 10 no's and that's all the tush push needs we will continue to shove butts

00:23in the National Football League for at least another year and everybody can do it so it's

00:29not as if again like the Eagles are the only team that are allowed to do this everybody can use it

00:33at their disposal everybody can do it some teams don't invest in their offensive line enough to do

00:37it and or an athletic quarterback which the Eagles have but also understand like the the optics of it

00:42is what Roger Goodell was worried about which I do find hilarious it's not the optics of the Eagles

00:47getting first down after first down it was in the NFC championship game when the Eagles already had

00:52broken the back of the Washington Commanders and Frankie Louvo decides I'm going to jump off four

00:56or five times like look you keep it up we're going to avoid it we're going to award a touchdown for

01:00the Eagles oh we can't have that so then that sort of sets off like the the chain reaction in my mind

01:05that goes all right well if we hate that Patrick Mahomes is so good and we're down 21 points in the

01:10fourth quarter why don't we just keep going off sides at midfield to make a mockery of the sport and

01:15then eventually the Chiefs would be awarded a touchdown but then so the combat would be don't let

01:20Patrick Mahomes be all that good like that doesn't make sense to me and also do you know you combat that

01:24Frankie Louvo jumps over the pile all right five yards does it again you want to do it again you're

01:28ejected from this football game you know what Ben I guarantee he probably does it again because

01:32they're getting blown out but then you keep it up during the season it turns into game suspensions

01:36at that point so I never bought the hey we don't like the way this is going to turn out because it's

01:40embarrassing what the defense will be able to do on the six inch no it's not how about you go outside

01:44twice it's an automatic touchdown what's embarrassing about that yeah embarrassing on the team that

01:48actually just did that now also from a Jeffrey Lurie perspective I love where he came with the

01:53ammunition that goes if you want to ban it right show me the plays because if I have a quarterback

01:58or our quarterbacks or centers defensive tackles and linebackers get injured every single time we

02:04run this play nobody would advocate for it but what he was saying was you know what we invest in it we

02:10have a technique for this and it works for us you want to ban it go ahead but just use reasoning of

02:15Jeffrey we can't stop your franchise you are so powerful we have to illegally take a play out like

02:21Will Chamberlain back in the day hey man all the guy does is dunk a basketball make dunks illegal in

02:25the NBA that shows how dominant Will Chamberlain was and you couldn't stop him the only way to do

02:29it was to actually change a rule in your favor everybody could dunk back in the day Ben with

02:34Will Chamberlain everybody can run the tush push today so for him to use the equation of if you tell

02:40us we can't do this anymore you admit it we're the most dominant franchise in the history of the sport

02:45on offense and if you don't ban it we'll continue to do it and possibly win more Lombardi trophies he

02:51stood in such a power position at that meeting I love to see it the way he laid it out
