Mark Murphy, president of Packers, explains why they want the “push tush” to be prohibited
West Palm Beach, Fla. – The president of Green Bay Packers Mark Murphy did not exactly give a direct response when Tuesday was asked if the NFL asked the Packers to lead a proposal to ban the “push tush”.
“I mean, we are always in contact with the championship,” Murphy said at the NFL League meeting.
Green Bay was the team that officially present a proposal to put out the preview of the difficult quarterback made famous by Philadelphia Eagles, but is it a game that the packers strongly feel the elimination of the game, or the organization, for any reason, do a favor to the League?
Regardless of this, the packagingrs took a lot of heat online to have their name attached to the issue. And although the man at the top of the Packers food chain did not clarify exactly those who really wanted the proposal drawn up, outlined because the organization is still against the game.
Even those explanations do not completely add. This is because Murphy professed n. 1 Reason to be Push Anti-Thust, safety risks, it doesn’t have many support tests.
“In terms of security, there were not many comedies, so there were not many data on injuries, but it was a very small size of the champion,” said Murphy. “I was really moved by the NFL (Chief Medical Officer) Allen.
But how does the League provide future security dangers if there are few or no tests in support of these conclusions?
“That’s why we have a Chief Medical Officer who looks at him,” Murphy said. “And I Believe (former eagles center) Jason Kelce Has Made Public Comments About, He’s Glad He’s Not Involution in The Play Anymore Because He Felt It Was Pretty Dancerous. And Dr. Sills Can Speak for Himself, but the angle of it and the Nature and the Makeup of the Play Really Does. Lend Itself (to Injury).
The COPRESCANTE of the Rich McKay competition committee, CEO of Atlanta Falcons, said Tuesday that the Packers requested Thush Spust Table Discussion Until the next meeting at the championship level in May and for the rule of the early 2000s that prohibited the push or push of a ball carrier to be revisited.
The general manager of Packers Brian Gutekunst seems to have moved away from the proposal when he was asked twice in this offseason – he still expressed his support for this Monday – so who inside the Packers organization took the command?
“We were all involved and Matt (Lafleur) had to introduce him to the coaches, but we also worked with the League office,” said Murphy. “The competition committee was also quite strongly in favor of it.”
Fox Sports reported that there were 16 teams in favor of banning Tush’s push, which is eight less than the 75 % threshold required to exceed the proposal. In addition to the concerns for safety, Murphy expressed concern about the rhythm of the game, citing the sequence of the goal line of the NFC championship match in which the Washington commanders repeatedly jumped off against Tush.
“The other two things on which we have entrusted from an equity point of view, which we forbid field objectives and extra points that the defense cannot push forward and then in attack, we are permitting it,” said Murphy. “It was a bit of a problem, and then only the style of the game. It is really more a rugby game than a football game.
“I stressed that we changed it with (narrow) tucker (Kraft) that ran it, but we were 5-to-5, so it is not really a team that is successful. I would predict that if it is not prohibited, you will see more and more teams and there will be more studies. Accidents.”
Three other remarkable takeaways of Murphy’s 20 minutes with local media …
1. He does not know, or would not say, if the packers are playing in Ireland against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025. The owner of Steelers Art Rooney II said that Tuesday’s signs are aiming towards the adhesion of Aaron Rodgers to the team, which would actually eliminate the packers from playing in Ireland. This is because they are scheduled to visit Pittsburgh next season-Steelers are the “hosts” in Ireland-and the League presumably would prefer that a game of Rodgers-Packers is in the early evening for a slot CT 8:30 am abroad.
2. This was the last annual meeting of Murphy Lega as President of Packers, a role from which he is retiring in July once he reached the mandatory age of 70 years to resign. Murphy has been president of the team in the last 17 years.
“It’s a bit exciting,” Murphy said. “ES (policy, incoming president) was in every session except the last one. He was one for club, and I said: ‘And you should take it,” and said no, this is the last one. … My wife always says that I am an owner without the money. A phoner that I was successful. Harlan left him in great shape for me and, hopefully, I’m doing the same for ed. “

3. Murphy seems happy with the state of the Packers from a football perspective, which has identified Gutekunst twice, the coach Matt Lafleur and the executive vice -president of the football operations Russ Ball for the work they are doing.
“I have a lot of confidence in Brian and Matt and Russ Ball, the leadership there, and I know that it was also involved in the meetings,” said Murphy. “I think we are prepared to win. I think we will do well. It was a disappointing end of the year here. It is fun, two years in a row we played the playoffs, but two years ago when we entered, we won a game, we had fewer victories based on the regular season, but in the end we felt well.
