Packers president Mark Murphy, who is retiring in July when he reaches the organization’s mandatory retirement age of 70, is wrapping up his final owners meeting.
He said it was emotional but then joked: “My wife always said I’m like an owner without the money.”
Mark Murphy talks upcoming Green Bay draft at NFL owners meetings: The challenges preparing league’s smallest city and excitement for landmark event in #Packers backyard.
“It will be like a weeklong commercial for Green Bay.”
this is hilarious
the move to ban the tush push started with Mark Murphy of GB
he said it was too "automatic of a first down on plays a yard or less"
NO MENTION of player safety
so I went back and looked a GB the last 3 years on 4th & 1
they converted REGULAR QB SNEAKS on 4th & 1 on 80% of their tries!
but they ranked #30 in 4th & 1 conversion rate at only 55%
why was their overall rate so terrible?
because Matt LaFleur called QB sneaks just 16% of the time and instead called a ton of RB runs or pass plays which were terrible
if LaFleur called more regular QB sneaks, GB would have a more "automatic" first down like the Eagles
btw, the Eagles 1st down conversion rate on tush pushes last year? 81%
but now their play should be banned because Matt LaFleur won’t call his 80% QB sneaks and instead calls way too many terrible RB runs or QB passes on 4th & 1?
