Murphy admitted his position may not be popular (especially in Philadelphia), but says the Tush Push “is not a good play for the game.”
“Coaches and players come and go,” he explained. “The owners are the ones looking out for the long-term interest of the league. That’s where I fall.”
"The most hated man in Philadelphia"

Murphy, on the tail end of his final Packers Tailgate Tour, also expects the league to move to an 18-game regular season in the near future.
“(An 18-game season) will be negotiated with the NFL Players Association,” he explained. “The quality of the preseason has always been a concern. It’s getting worse and worse, in my opinion.”
An 18-game season would mean changes to off-season workouts, etc.
“Players would get more time off,” he said.
Other nuggets from the conversation:
-Murphy doesn’t expect the Packers to travel to Ireland to play the Steelers this upcoming season.
