The proposed Packers rule change, to supposedly do away with the tush push, isn't gonna work. They propose that a player lined up directly behind a ball carrier can't push the ball carrier forward. So shift the running back over 4 feet and run the tush push as normal, and you're compliant with the Packers rule change, but the tush push hasn't changed in any material way whatsoever. We're close to having teams hiring "tush push coordinators" kinda like Brad Childress was once our 'spread game coordinator'.
I hate it. If I wanted to watch rugby I'd watch ****ing rugby.
So the only solution here is to dismiss the Packer idea and just adopt the rule that was on the books for decades and decades and decades: no pushing a ball carrier forward. I don't give a **** where you lineup pre-snap.
