I think you underestimate the lads. I think a lot of them play while injured. They come into the game injured, they get even more banged up during the game, and they leave it black and blue. And keep playing.

Maybe not broken bones so often, though we've seen that happen recently too (didn't Kyler Kerbyson play most of a season with broken bones?). But pulled ligaments, bruised tendons, and so on? I think young men are playing football through those types of injuries all the time.

Then what difference will it make? Those kids aren't going down now…

8 injury time outs per game, where the player is attended - no other substitutions, if an injured player is departing, official holds the snap until he departs, his replacement can not enter the hashes until he is off the field, offense can run a play as soon as he departs. 11 on 11 except the replacement will be out of position. Once the injury timeouts are depleted, you can use the regular time outs. Once you deplete all timeouts, 5 yard delay of game. Referees only need to record the timeouts, and treat a departing player as they would an offensive substitution except the replacement player must be outside the hashes when the ball goes into play.

I'll have to repeat, Bob, post #47 wasn't my position. I was just noting the counter-argument guys like Lane Kiffin make, and acknowledging that there is an element of truth to it (surrounded by a significant amount of self-serving BS).

Me personally, I'm all for taking out of the game any player "injured" enough (maybe really injured, maybe not) to stop play with a ref's time out, and keeping him out for the rest of that possession.

Not consistently punitive enough.... what if the guy goes down to stop a surprise 4th and 1 with them having part of special teams on the field? Maybe balance of current and next series on that side of the ball. Medical should be provided plenty of time to evaluate and complete an incident report on ANY injury. On top of the no subs logic.

According to a report from 247 Sports’ Robbie Weinstein, “the NCAA announced on Friday that it will not add rules for the 2022 season that would give game officials the ability to penalize teams that it deems to be faking injuries during games. Although the NCAA will allow programs to report alleged fake injuries, it did not mention any specific penalty or sanction that could be imposed.”

This is so ridiculous that I'm at a loss for words. ".....the NCAA WILL ALLOW programs to report fake injuries"..!!!!! What a JOKE. That's the same line used by your typical sleezy car dealers "We accept all credit applications"..!!

Also, if NCAA basketball can call a "flop"...one warning and then technical, then not sure why football can't do the same. At least would require OM defense players to take more acting classes.

Sometimes, you just have to ask yourself, "What would Tony Vitello do?"
------------------
Since we can never know for sure when an injury might not be fake, why not fight the fakes by going overboard in the opposite direction?

When an opposing player goes down and the ref stops the clock, immediately send two carts with loud sirens onto the field. One cart carries a priest, a Pentecostal pastor, and a rabbi. When the cart gets to the downed player, the clergy jump off, kneel on the field around him and begin praying aloud.

The other cart brings out a freshman assistant trainer carrying AED shock paddles, and a burly, bearded trans nurse carrying a huge syringe with a long needle, and a one gallon enema kit.

The Pride of the Southland band begins playing a slow, New Orleans brass band version of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee," while the women in the stands begin that spooky, high pitched ululation sound ("zaghrouta") that we associate with middle eastern funerals.

When a player knows stopping the clock is going to cause that much ruckus... we can at least assure that he's committed to his injury.

How about “Lord I’m Coming Home” being played instead?

Maybe Larry Nassar should be brought in as an independent doctor to examine any injured player and must approve, after thorough examination, the player is fit to return.
