Thanks. I was wondering as you see them pushing the pile in just about every game

Pushing is fine, it the other stuff mentioned in prior post that makes it illegal.

Pushing the pile and pushing the runner are two entirely different things.

Not sure what you are saying, but 'pushing' the ball carrier or the "pile" are both legal. See AR 9-3-2-I.
Teammates may not grasp, pull, or lift the ball carrier, to assist him with forward progress.
