49ers’ Jed York publicly eats crow after tush-push ban fails to pass

Jed York took to social media in notably humble means to acknowledge not being able to pass the tush-push ban.

The San Francisco 49ers were one of the 22 teams across the NFL that just voted to ban the “tush push,” the notably effective-but-controversial play made famous of late by the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles.

The league needed 24 votes to make it an illegal formation.

CEO Jed York was apparently one of those who voiced his opinion during the league owners’ meeting about the would-be ban, possibly even squaring off against now-retired former Philadelphia center Jason Kelce, who attended the meeting to lend his support for the hard-to-stop play.

Apparently, and in light of being on the wrong side of the vote, York was impressed with whatever Kelce had to offer and subsequently said as much on social media:

York’s public admission is moderately humorous, and it’s good to see the Niners’ CEO not take things too seriously in the aftermath.

It’s also good to see Philly’s own social media team go on a legendary troll job, which included a not-so-subtle blast of the Green Bay Packers, the team that proposed the rule change in the first place.

As for York, it’s understandable why he’d vote for banning the play. Philadelphia is likely going to be one of San Francisco’s chief competitors within the conference for the foreseeable future, so aiming to deliver a disadvantage in some way or another has some merit.

Even though the stronger option would be to devise some sort of on-field play to actually stop the tush push from being successful.

If anything, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh might be trying to envision creative and effective ways to stop such a play, even though the 49ers don’t play the Eagles in the regular season this year.
