Palm Beach, Florida (AP) – The “Tash Push” is the hottest subject during annual NFL meetings this week.
Team owners, coaches and managing directors gathered in a chic seaside resort to discuss several potential rules of rules, including the Proposal from Green Bay Packers to eliminate a room It has become a basic food for short-yard for the Super bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Packers have cited players’ safety and the rhythm of the game as reasons to prohibit Tash’s thrust. The director of the NFL, Troy Vincent, said last month that there had been no injury reported following the play.
Any change of rule must be approved by 24 of the 32 team owners.
Tampa Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles clearly said last month that he would not support a ban.
“It’s an element of rugby, but at the same time, when a team gets something in which they are good, you have to learn to stop,” said Bowles. “I don’t think the first thing you can do is try to remove it from the ball game because it removes the creativity of all those who try to do everything else. So you have to learn to stop it. Until we learned to stop it, they will continue. It is not broken, do not repair it. ”
A vote on Green Bay’s proposal is expected on Tuesday.
Other changes include making the dynamic rule of permanent kick -off and the revision of the format of the playoffs.
The NFL Competition Committee recommended that the kick -off rule that was redesigned last year and refine it to move the touchbacks on the 35 yards in the hope of generating even more yields.
The Lions Detroit proposed that the playoffs be based on the file instead of automatically placing the winners of the division in the first four places.
The Committee also proposed an extension of the instant replay to allow Replay Assist to consult those responsible on the ground to cancel the objective calls such as the mask mask penalties, that there was forced contact in the head or neck, the plated of horse passes or the trigger if there were “clear and obvious” evidence that a fault has not occurred. Rereading would also be able to overturn a drafts or run in the botter penalty if the video rereading showed that the defender was in contact with the ball.
