Should they start penalizing teams that fake injuries to slow down no huddle?

[Champ]

No. Its not a new thing. I used to remember Willie McGinest doing it. That was a veteran move by Grant.

Never did i think i would "thank" 2 of influence's posts in 1 fucking thread

There's really no way to enforce this during games, but there could be some sort of fine or something if they catch it on the game tape.

It is against the rules and all....

I always thought this guy should be ejected from the league.

One way to solve this problem slightly would be to make it 2 plays instead of just one that an injured player has to sit out.

 

[Macken]

I think that they should make it a series. If they are injured enough to have medical staff come out then they should have to sit out longer then 1 play.

If they are so worried about injuries and hitting hard then this needs to be implemented to protect a player from entering a game with a real injury after 1 play and further injurying himself

When Jaiquan went down, I was rolling. Hilarious.

Rookie taking after the vet.

Somebody has to make that a gif lol


Saw this suggested, If play has to be stopped because of an injury, that player can't return until the next series.

I don't think the NFL can put the refs in a position to play doctor and judge injury, but the NFL should review game tapes afterwards and fine teams/coaching staffs for at worst allowing these shenanigans to occur. Tom Coughlin should be fined. If it occurs again, the Giants should forfeit a draft pick.

It's terrible to see, it's like european football tactics.


If a player goes down he should be out for the remainder of the drive or a minimum of 5 plays.

Or get punched in the balls to ensure that he stays out for some time.

Deon Grant: “If you want me to be fined for that, how about you give me money for me playing on these torn MCLs?"

So does Grant not currently have a contract? I don't understand. Is that supposed to be an excuse?

 

[EmpireWF]

I can't wait to see how the league decides to enforce this. They're going to pick and choose who to fine or punish based on what they think. No player is going to admit to faking an injury.

Unless it's comically apparent like Jaiquan Williams lol.
