He\u2019s totally fine with it staying in the game and actually sees it as a fun challenge for defenses. Instead of banning it, Campbell believes teams should step up and find ways to stop it.<\/p>\n<h2>Despite safety concerns, Dan Campbell sees the play as part of the game\u2019s competitive edge<\/h2>\n<p>The \u201cTush Push\u201d is where players push the quarterback from behind to help gain short yardage, and the Philadelphia Eagles have been super successful with it. While some teams, like the Green Bay Packers, want it banned due to injury concerns, the NFL has delayed making a decision.<\/p>\n<p>At last week&#8217;s NFL league meetings, Dan Campbell shared his thoughts on the Tush Push and made it clear why he firmly thinks the play deserves to remain a part of the game. \u201cI am of the school that they found something and it\u2019s up to everybody else to stop it. So I\u2019m a hard yes,\u201d Campbell told reports.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GntaewDW8AAcLL6?format=jpg&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Any team can use the Eagles&#8217; Tush Push, but Philly does it best converting around 86% compared to the league&#8217;s 76%. The big offseason question is whether the Tush Push will be banned due to injury concerns, despite little evidence. Sixteen teams support a ban or change, but 24 votes are needed.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter believes if wants it gone, he can make it happen. \u201cI think if we go and we parse through what the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters at his post-league meeting press conference, I think it became pretty apparent that he and others want the tush push out of the game,&#8221; Schefter said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are 16 votes that they&#8217;ve gotten. 16 teams willing to overturn the Tush Push and have it banned.&#8221;The league needs 24 votes. And Roger Goodell is a master at getting the votes he needs for the issues he wants&#8230; Rest be assured, they&#8217;re going to be working to get those 24 votes before the main meeting in Minneapolis. And I believe, ultimately, they will get them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For now, the Tush Push remains legal, but its future hangs in the balance. All eyes are on next month\u2019s owners meeting until then, the debate isn\u2019t going anywhere. Whether it stays or goes, one thing is clear: the Eagles have changed the game, and the rest of the league is still trying to catch up.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"36\">\n<p><i><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL News: Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell supports the Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; &#8216;Tush Push&#8217; play, viewing it as a defensive challenge rather than a safety con<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19821,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[307,49,18,1152,534,1151,1150],"class_list":["post-19820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions","tag-dan-campbell","tag-detroit-lions","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-owners-meeting","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-roger-goodell","tag-tush-push"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
