The Green Bay Packers proposed a rule change that would effectively prohibit the legendary impulse of Tush in the NFL, and CEO Mark Murphy expressed his optimism that the rule would happen.
The prohibition of push of Tush was the conversation of the annual NFL meeting, but the owners presented the discussion about whether to prohibit it until May. The proposal of the Packers “would prohibit an offensive player to push a teammate who was aligned directly behind the Pargo and receives the complement, immediately in the click.” Essentially, Tush’s thrust would be prohibited due to this.

Murphy expressed optimism that the proposal would be adopted.
“I think it ended in a good place,” Murphy said, through Pro Football Talk. “We ended up tabing it, but we had a Really Good Discussion, Talked a Little Bit About Our Safety Concerns Regarding The Play, Just Kind of The Style Of The Play, But Good Interaction With The League and So It’ll Be Tabled And The What We Voted on in the May Meeting, and So We’re Going to Go – In 2005, The League Did Away With The Rule That You Couldn’t Push Runners, and So We’re Going To Go Back and see The Language That We Had In 2004, and i’m optimistic.

“I think there are enough people who look at him and they say that it is not really good for the game, it is more a rugby play than a football play, just return to what used to be the rule.”
Rich McKay, president of the NFL Competition Committee, said earlier this month that the problems go beyond security because there are not enough data to say if it is a dangerous play. The League has said that no injuries have been reported due to the thrust of Tush.
