The NFL has taken notice of the Philadelphia Eagles because they have perfected the "tush push" in short-yardage scenarios.

Troy Vincent, the executive vice president of football operations for the NFL, defended the play and refuted demands to outlaw it.

Vincent underlined that teams who successfully employ the "tush push" tactic should not be penalised.

The play—which is referred to as "The Brotherly Shove" in Philadelphia—was not recently the NFL Competition Committee's main focus.

There was apparently little interest in discussing the "tush push" during the committee meeting, thus it was not addressed.

According to Troy Vincent, clubs who would like to voice their thoughts on the matter can do so during the NFL league meetings on March 24-27.

Vincent recalled a prior regular season talk, where associated injuries were deemed minor, eliminating the need for further consideration.

If at any of the next league meetings any team expresses reservations, the play's future will be reviewed.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni saw the advantages of the play for an offensive team that can execute it well.
