The NFL owners failed to pass a proposed rule change that would have effectively ban the “Tush Push” play that the Philadelphia Eagles have mastered. Dan thinks the continued effort to eliminate this play is a just poorly disguised attempt to single out the Eagles.
Dan Patrick: “Every other team can run this. Every other team has this opportunity. Why is it only the Eagles have mastered this? That would be my question to the other teams…Let’s say the Carolina Panthers had mastered this; no one cares. This is about the Eagles have mastered it, therefore it’s an unfair advantage. If Carolina’s doing it, no one cares. ‘Oh my God, are we going to care about safety?’ No. No one will care. This has to do with; it’s the Eagles. But the NFL doesn’t want to make it seem like, ‘Hey, we’re singling out the Eagles,’ while you single out the Eagles.”
