    I’ve never followed football too closely, so let me see if I understand the tush push. It seems to me you get the QB right behind the offensive line, snap the ball to him and then essentially get two dudes to push him up and over the offensive line?

    From the clip I watched, the most impressive feat is that he landed on his feet on the other side. He looked like Jesus walking across stormy waters. Kind of surreal and pretty incredible.

      The even more impressive part is the center being crushed under 10 dudes and then getting right back up

    Good! A play should never be banned because people can’t defend against it. Coordinators will learn and they will eventually have better success at stopping.

      I think the issue is more so the injury risk. The NFL has banned other things or increased penalties because of risk (think helmet to helmet contact)
