The “tush push” is causing a lot of strife among the NFL ranks.

The Packers have suggested banning the quarterback sneak variation that the Eagles have been deploying in recent years, which led to a tense discussion during a football operations meeting at the league’s annual gathering in Palm Beach, as reported by ESPN.

At the meeting, two key Eagles figures, General Manager Howie Roseman and Assistant General Manager Jon Ferrari, engaged in a lively discussion with two head coaches on the league’s competition committee, Sean McVay from the Rams and Sean McDermott from the Bills, in a corridor just outside the meeting room.

The vote on Green Bay’s proposal will be held Tuesday.

It seems Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, fresh off of winning his first Super Bowl, is concerned about the potential outcome of the vote.

He sent a playful warning to his former coordinators who are now head coaches about which way to vote.

Regarding the proposal, Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni shared with NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo on Sunday that he expects his coaching staff members Jonathan Gannon, Shane Steichen, and Kellen Moore to support the ban. Sirianni emphasized the significance of this play in their coaching careers and stressed the importance of their votes alongside the Eagles’ vote to reach a majority decision.

Twenty-four of the NFL’s 32 teams have to vote for the ban in order for it to pass.

Philadelphia has enjoyed great success in short-yardage scenarios in recent seasons with their version of the sneak, in which teammates push quarterback Jalen Hurts in a rugby-esque move to help get him pick up a first down or score a touchdown.

The Packers are citing player safety as one of the reasons for wanting the play banned, though ESPN reports there’s no data that supports outlawing the play.

One team executive told ESPN the proposal to ban the tush push is “weak.”

“It’s punishing a team who became excellent at executing the play. In 2022, when Philadelphia was the only team doing it, there was a concern that it made the game less compelling because fourth-and-short was no longer in doubt. Then other teams copied it, and they can’t do it as well,” the exec told ESPN.

“It reeks of jealousy.”
