How can you prove/disprove a cramp? The answer really is this simple: Must leave the field for 3 plays to be properly evaluated in the name of player safety. That would squash faking it.Quote:

Back to the OP's question- Do most coaches think it's so unethical to fake injuries that they won't do it even if it's proven they can get away with it? I really don't understand why no one does it to Ole Miss when everyone knows Ole Miss is going to do it.
Doesn't seem to hard to me -Quote:

Baylor faked the cramp once last night maybe twice.
And it is especially sweet when the tables are turned on them as they run so much tempo.
I don?t disagree that they can be easy to see, but when dishing out punishment, it?s not about what you know, but rather what you can prove.
BTW, I love the video and circle post. We really would be able to eliminate a ton of unnecessary posting with a like button.
So if you get the breath knocked out of you or just twist an ankle or whatever, and the guy isnt faking it and he should have to sit out ?? No way. Won't work!Quote:

But I think the rule will be remainder of the series bc it's cleaner and easier to keep up with.
Next year, we better fall down on every single defensive play. Just have one person each play designated to go down on the DLine. Hell, don't even try to hide it. Just go down the line, LDE, NG, RDE, repeat. I would literally do it every single play of the game, if they gain a yard. No need to do it if you get a TFL or Sack.
It would definitely have to be for the rest of the possession. That is safe.Quote:

That's an interesting take allowing the D to have a few extra secs to prepare. No more no huddle hurry up for fiddy six minutes but I don't see it happening unless the NFL Led the way. Players ARE Indeed faking to give breathers and either change hurry up rules or ones that would prevent defensive deception.Quote:

The only other way would be fining/suspensions of the coaching staff afterwards, but how do you prove that an injury such as a cramp or getting the wind knocked out of you was faked? The fake injury routine will become a tool in everyone's defenses to slow down the hurry up offenses until a solution is found.Quote:
