00:00
the biggest hot button topic in the national football league this week in minnesota
00:04
at those owner meetings the tush push will it be banned will it survive as we learned yesterday
00:11
it survives for at least another season the green bay packers proposal to ban this play falls two
00:17
short uh two votes short of the necessary 24 for the super majority 22 yeses 10 no's the tush push
00:26
is alive and well in the national football league so mark the natural question to you
00:31
did the nfl owners in the ultimate decision get it right the short answer is yes but look remember
00:38
we're here for a couple of reasons one we are here because a simple thing happened in the nfl over the
00:45
course of the last 10 years every offensive coordinator who thinks that they are smarter
00:50
than the world who thinks that they are just so much more innovative and bright than everybody else
00:54
decided that the statistics that had shown through 2019 that if you did a qb sneak on third and one
01:01
or fourth and one you converted it 88 of the time they said no that's not good enough i need to be
01:06
in a five wide receiver set and shotgun when i need one yard look at this guys no one's going to expect
01:11
this coming but okay just to be sneaking and let's move on so the philadelphia eagles said screw that
01:16
it's only one yard we'll take the 88 we're just going to push our guy forward because when you need
01:20
one yard that's only three feet and my quarterback is six feet that's twice as long okay so if i fall
01:25
forward i'm good very simple stuff here we got away from the quarterback sneak as a thing and the eagles
01:32
came back in and sort of revolutionized it and oh by the way the eagles won a super bowl do you really
01:37
think there would have been a ban if the eagles didn't win the super bowl of course they wouldn't
01:42
have pushed to ban this thing if the eagles didn't win the super bowl right and watch what happens
01:47
if the eagles make a deep playoff run again this will actually pass next year i can guarantee it
01:53
because all the eagles have to do is beat a team on a tush push that voted uh no we're not going to
01:59
ban it and when they lose a game on it they'll go you know what maybe we should ban that because that's
02:03
how this is going to go again so i i mean again i think they got it right but i keep saying they're
02:08
approaching this wrong guys the easiest thing to do if you'd like to make this equitable isn't to ban
02:13
the tush push it's just to allow defensive players to push each other back which is currently a foul
02:18
one defensive player cannot push another defensive player it is a penalty if you allow them to push
02:22
back and you could put force on force let's go back to our high school physics force equals mass
02:27
times acceleration if we put equal force on each other boom uh we'll have a more equitable play
02:32
but they won't do that yeah it'll be interesting too mark let me ask you this question too about the
02:37
tush push like in totality for 2025 with it being approved again are other teams going to say you know
02:42
what why don't we do this as well now maybe you don't do it as well but you're right about this
02:47
quarterback sneaks in the past who was the best quarterback sneak guy in the history with that
02:50
we thought bingo the most unathletic quarterback and he's getting first downs so if you are an
02:57
organization your beat writers need to ask you will you be using this because it's legal and you can
03:02
automatically get a first down listen i pressed raheem morris on this in atlanta with his fourth and one
03:09
go for it philosophy and and and literally gave him those same numbers that the 88 on third and one
03:16
and fourth and one and it was even broken down over 10 year periods and it was even higher i mean at
03:21
certain points because the tush push has become such a thing i'm with you drs but the problem is is
03:27
that like the chiefs are never going to do this because if somebody falls on patrick holmes legs and
03:31
he gets hurt they'll never hear the end of it right like why you have the greatest quarterback who
03:36
throws the ball you're not paying him to run why why why would he even put him in this situation
03:40
you have to have a quarterback whose body physically can be can be able to handle it now again you think
03:46
bill belichick cared about tom brady's body no he cared about getting the first down more so he said
03:50
tommy just take the ball and fall forward i wish more coaches would do it there's no reason not to
03:54
um yeah i don't know that coaches are going to return to it because again five wide receiver sets
04:00
and shotgun you know or giving it to the running back who's seven yards behind the line of scrimmage
04:04
when you need one yard to go forward always made a ton of sense to me like let me hand the ball seven
04:09
yards backwards when all i got to do is go one yard forward it's bad coaching all around drs you're
04:14
100 correct i don't know why coaches have over innovated this thing just qb sneak it
