Tush push, Irish eyes are smiling, Gutey speaks

(LEARFIELD) – NFL owners are expected to vote on banning the so-called “tush push” at the league meetings in West Palm Beach, Florida, Tuesday morning.

Reports indicate discussions of the change have led to heated words among the league’s coaches, general managers, and owners.

Green Bay initiated the proposal now before the competition committee.

ESPN reports that worries about injuries and the pace of play have been cited.

That same report notes that no injuries have been connected to the “tush push” so far.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst covers a lot of ground: Gutekunst covered a lot of territory when he chatted with the media at the NFL Owners’ Meetings on Monday.

First, yes, Elgton Jenkins was going to move to center even before the Aaron Banks acquisition.

And what does Banks bring to the Packers at left guard?

Packers offensive tackle Rasheed Walker may be in line for a contract extension. What does he need to show to get one?

As for the seeminingly-never-ending Jaire Alexander saga, Gutekunst said he’s still on the roster.

So could Alexander play for the Packers this season?

The draft is less than a month away. Will the situation with Alexander be fixed by then?

The Packers headed to Ireland: The Pittsburgh Steelers will play a game in Ireland this year and there have been rumors that their opponent may be the Green Bay Packers.
