Not surprising. When I was skimming something it had a mistype. Said it was average when he had a 7 yard carry.
Is The MG Tush Push Better Than The Stanley Sneak?

Yanda was a beast and my kind of lineman. Haven't really watched Linderbaum in the NFL, so I really can't say, but it would be tough to top what Yanda did. Yanda should/will be in the HOF, even though he was a guard. Linderbaum was a Pro Bowl center and I don't doubt he'll be all-pro multiple times. Yanda was 2 time 1st team all pro and 5 times on the 2nd team. That will be tough to top.
In short, I haven't watched them enough to say for sure. A couple of incredible ass kickers for sure.

Gronowski rarely gets more than a yard on sneaks. Stanley regularly got 3-4 yards, sometimes more. There's no comparison. Hating Brian Ferentz isn't a reason to disrespect Stanley.

Stanley's TP was definitively more impressive. Lindy was an alltimer and Stanley was a bull. That was unstoppable. MG doesn't get the same push, but it is still effective.
The TP should be banned for three reasons:
1. Its not an American football play. It is a rugby play and I don't like rugby. It was illegal for many years and should be again.
2. You cannot officiate it properly. Everyone is offsides, the OL usually takes off early, you can't find the ball, you have no way to know when forward progress stops. All of this is because this is not an American football play. In rugby, none of that shit matters.
3. Its ugly and dumb looking. Some teams run it 6 7 times a game.
That all said, I am only in favor of tweaking the rule so that you cannot line up right behind the QB and push him in as part of the play design. Anyone who is lined up at least two yards behind the QB can run up and push the pile.
I think pushing and pulling a runner down the field as part of an organic effort to aid the runner, as opposed to a called and designed play, should remain legal as well.

Don't worry, I think the DH rule should be outlawed.

I have a compromise on the DH rule. Allow the DH, but for every 3 games as a DH, the player has to play one on the field. They said that Big Papi didn't even own a baseball glove. That doesn't sit right with me. So, make them play a little in the field, while still avoiding the automatic out when the pitcher comes up.

Make it one of the following two options and we have a deal:
1) Cannot play 1B, or
2) Every other game instead of every 3 games.
