NFL: Officiate tush push 'tight' after missed call

The NFL said the Eagles should have been flagged for at least one false start when they used the tush push against the Chiefs on Sunday and instructed officials this week to call the controversial play "tight."

Rams are shit on short yardage stoppage situations anyway. Can't recall the last time we actually made a stand there. It's not our strength, we're a DL built on quickness and penetration which often comes up short in that situation because you're giving up mass to the opposing OL.

Just keep them out of short yardage. Get your stops at 3+ yards. Put them in a lot of third and longs and a win is possible. Let them run all over the yard on our boys and we're going to lose.

Philly's offense requires the run threat to operate at its winning level. So stop the fucking run on early downs and contain Hurts.

The Rams beat Buffalo in large part because they stuffed princess Allen from scoring from the 1 yard line last season and it was important because they went beyond the 2 minute warning which allowed the Rams to kneel the ball down after they recovered the onside kick. If not for the stop, the Bills had a chance to get the ball back.
 
How about a DB running behind the pile and trying to punch the ball out? Can't help if he misses and hits Hurts in the nuts? :) Just kidding

The Rams offensive line defending the pass is pretty bad. Shelton is a Little center, no beef that you need for something like that. They just need to make enough time for Stafford to throw. That they can do, so far. May be run blocking is good, so there is that. Go, Rams!

Shelton is not a good run blocker. He has ZERO ability to hold his ground and the idea of him getting a push is a joke. He is a finesse guy that can call the protection and give stafford 2.5 seconds in the pocket. We can`t expect more.
