I mean, not really, the guy was still going forward. It seems to me that most refs have some sort of unwritten rule where if the ball hasn't moved more than a foot for like 3 seconds they blow it dead, and as soon as the guy starts getting pushed back they blow it dead. The rule is good for safety because otherwise ball carriers  would get stood up and then pile-driven into the ground instead of just letting everybody stop pushing.

The rule is dumb because it disfavors defenses.

But it's a scrum!  And announcers love calling that!

Like...if I was a RB and had guys draped over me and clinging to my legs and my own lineman hit me in the back I'd be pissed.  That's asking to get hurt.

If you cut out linemen pushing RBs forward then you can cut out most short yardage runs because all of a sudden it becomes 1 RB vs the 3 LBers and Dlinemen who weren't blocked, and nobody can do that alone.
