The Tush Push has been a popular topic of conversation.

After the Green Bay Packers proposed to ban the play, made popular by the Philadelphia Eagles, it did not receive enough votes at the NFL league meeting and lives on for the 2025 season.The final vote on the proposed ban of the Tush Push was 22-10, and at least 24 votes were needed to pass it.

The Chicago Bears were one of the 22 teams who voted to ban the play.Bears defensive tackle Grady Jarrett was asked about the Tush Push, and he didn't have a particularly strong stance for or against it.

But he made one thing clear: You know it's coming, so you have to find a way to stop it.Youve got to stop it," Jarrett said.

"It's been stopped before, not at a high rate, but don't let them get third-and-one, don't let them get fourth-and-one.

You know what's coming.

Ive played Philly a lot of times they are a tough group, and they have a combination of players and a quarterback to make it very successful.

At the end of the day, the rules are the rules, and you got to find a way to stop it.Jarrett doesn't think the Tush Push is a dangerous play, which is likely why some teams are still accepting of the play.

Now, teams just have to contend with it.I don't think anybody has gotten hurt yet," Jarrett said.

"That's where you have a legit argument.

I don't think anybody has getting hurt, it's a compromise position that guys are down in.

Just got to do what youve got to do.

Can't cry over something you can't change.While Jarrett isn't necessarily for or against it, Bears head coach Ben Johnson made it clear he's not a Tush Push guy -- as he prefers his explosive plays.Follow Bears Wire on Twitter, Facebook and InstagramThis article originally appeared on Bears Wire: Bears DT Grady Jarrett reacts to Tush Push ruling.
