Personally I'd like to not only see the Tush Push banned, but any play that allows an offensive player without the ball to push, pull, lift, or carry a ball carrier to gain yardage. That used to be the rule, but some years ago they began allowing pushing while still supposedly banning pulling or carrying. We are seeing plays down field where player catches the ball and teammates converge on the player and opponents and push the scrum downfield when it appears the play should have been called dead. They commonly pick up an additional five, six, seven yards or more with little or no effort from the ball carrier at all. I've seen the ball carrier feet off the ground as the scrum moves forward.

The same with the Tush Push as it does not resemble a football play. It's little more than just a rugby scrum. I can see why the Saints didn't vote for the ban with Kellen Moore now in house. Shough has the size to pull it off. Rattler may be too undersized, however.
