The Green Bay Packers' proposal to ban the tush push—the quarterback sneak variation made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles—will go to a vote on Tuesday, April 1 when the NFL's 32 owners convene during the league's annual meetings. As decision-makers around the NFL prepare for that vote, one of the most contentious potential rule changes in recent memory, conversations have been intense according to a new ESPN report.
ESPN's Kalyn Kahler cited a "source with direct knowledge" of the discussions, stating that the proposal will be "'hotly contested' among the coaches, general managers and owners as they gather for league meetings this week." Discussion of the proposal at a Sunday football operations meeting, which featured members of the Eagles front office including general manager Howie Roseman, was reportedly "heated."
