The Eagles' version of the quarterback sneak will be banned if the Packers can convince 23 other teams to vote for their proposed new rule.

    I’ve always thought it isn’t as much a football play as it is a rugby play to push whoever the ball is snapped to while behind the line of scrimmage.

    I want less scrum and more Spider 2 Y Banana.

    The NFL’s brief summary of the proposal reads as follows: “By Green Bay; amends Rule 12, Section 1, to prohibit an offensive player from pushing a teammate who was lined up directly behind the snapper and receives the snap, immediately at the snap.”

    If the Packers’ proposal passes, Rule 12, Section 1 would be amended to say, “No offensive player may . . . immediately at the snap, push or throw his body against a teammate, who was lined up directly behind the snapper and received the snap, to aid him in an attempt to gain yardage.”

    I’m a Packers fan but this is some weak shit. Not in favor.
