It's dumb. I was hoping it would be addressed and removed from the game last year. Apparently they addressed it, but only made it illegal for the "pusher" to line up directly behind the would-be ball carrier. That player, or those players, must be at least 1 yard back at the snap.
Still dumb. It's not a football play in my opinion. A play that is indefensible doesn't belong in the game. You can't stop 600 pounds of force with a yard's worth of momentum coming at you while you're standing still. The only way it doesn't work is if the QB slips or if there's a bad snap. I honestly don't understand why all 32 teams aren't doing it...since it is legal.
