Dan Campbell loves the fact the NFL didn’t ban the Double Cheek Push because it fires him up to stop it, via Dave Birkett at the Detroit Free Press:

Speaking at the NFL’s annual spring meeting last week, Campbell said he was pleased the league’s competition committee did not recommend a ban on the push play that rose in prominence last season thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles. 

“I’m all good with it,” Campbell said. “I’ve got no problem, man. Because here’s why, man. I think of it defensively, man, you’ve got to have a plan to stop it. And that’s what fires me up. We’re going to have a plan to stop it.” 

Wow. A coach in the NFL embracing competition. What a novel concept. You don’t like the Double Cheek Push play? Don’t cry to the competition committee like Peter King. Find a way to stop it. Do we ever see The Wildcat anymore? No because teams got smart and stopped it. Obviously most teams don’t mind the DCP because it didn’t even go to a vote at the owners meetings last week, because THE EAGLES WERE FOLLOWING THE RULES. Sean Payton even wants to steal it.

Also, the last thing the NFL needs to do is give the refs more things to worry about. The NFL has enough bullshit they already need to fix. How about we find out what the fuck a catch is or roughing the passer is and let the 22 dudes keep crashing into each other like God himself, Theodore Roosevelt, intended when he invented the sport?
