I'm not a fan. Doesn't resemble a football play in my opinion. I look forward to the day that it gets banned. Hopefully this will be the last year of it.

As has been pointed out, it's rather unfair right now, since defenders can't push their own guys toward the line. Allow defenders to do this too on tush push plays, and I'll support it. Otherwise, you can just line up half a dozen Fat Bastards (character from Austin Powers, I'm not swearing! ;)) on the offensive side and tush push your way down the field all game. This seems like a pretty simple thing to understand, IMO.
Nah it’s only good for a yard or two, you still gotta get to 4th n 1

For the "why ban a play just because someone does it well" crowd, I point you to Kam jumping over the line on field goal attempts, without touching any of the offensive players. The NFL put a stop to that REAL quick.
You can still jump over, Wags has done this a couple times since
leaving Seattle, you just cannot make any contact in doing it.
