Poll: Should UT flop a lot against UGA?

[fossilfiction]

As long as they flop toward the ball carrier's legs out of the backfield, flop away.
IMO, that is our best bet at making tackles.

 

[VolArmy74]

Not for any kind of competitive advantage. I'd love to see it just because it's the prime SEC match up this week and people need to see how ridiculous it is that we have to put up with it so often.

 

[UTwild82]

Pull a Fred Sanford if it helps us win.

 

[TNnative]

if georgia flops, then absolutely. what's good for the goose....

To Hell with the goose. I know a good recipe for goose AND gander. Who is flopping for? Watch "The Warriors" and ask Ajax.

 

[Atlanta917]

I doubt UGA is going with a tempo game plan.

 

[MaxVolnGA]

No but I think everyone coming through the gate should get a container of bubbles to blow during the game. Cardboard cartons of coarse.

I keep hearing that but how do you prove it's not a real injury? So you would need to make any injury , fake or real to sit a series.
Let's look at this example, your QB get's nicked and has to leave the game. Now he has to sit an entire series?

I don't know the answer but we have to figure it out. It's bush league.
When I was a young man it would have most likely provoked a fight.

If you are doing it across the board "for player safety" then you don't have to prove who is flopping and who is not.

Just institute a rule that says, basically, if play has to be stopped, you sit out the rest of the drive and the next drive, and that the only substitution that can be made is to replace the "injured" player.

All in the name of player safety, cause after all, if you're too injured (or too tired) that we have to stop play, you should not be on the field, right?

At least that's my take on it.

yep, if you have to go to the sideline, you sit the whole series at a minimum. That would stop it...

EXACTLY
There is no question of is it fake anymore. you drop and stop the flow of the game, you sit this series, period. Yes, for player safety!

 

[Chilmonty]

Never go Full Kiffin!

 

[Matt2496]

It won’t make a difference in this game anyways, so no

 

[Sara Clark]

Hahaha, flopping isn't going to make a difference one way or the other. While always hopeful, I'm just praying our QB makes it out of Neyland alive. He's going to need protection or some fast legs. lol.

 

[LargeOrange1]

Old Piss and Kensucky used it against us and got away with it. Why the H not?

 

[LargeOrange1]

Its the big one Kirby!

So we punish everyone that's injured but could return in play or two because some players are lazy or just want to stop the momentum.

I'd add the option that you can call a time out and get the player back in the game.

Yep only way to stop it....otherwise, drag an official doctor out there to determine it.....how else are you gonna do it? Sarcasm by the way

I think you sit that series, and the next series ... you know, for player safety.

 

[wmcovol]

Kentucky stole several additional timeouts during the game flopping on offense.

College football HAS to address this in the offseason.

 

[cgrish]

Ou

Our defense has played 101 plays one game (?) and 99 plays another. I think they're probably getting conditioned to being out there. By the end of the season, they won't even break a sweat during the game.

Our d actually played their best on the last drive of the game. So go figure?

 

[realmenwearorange]

They really need to figure out how to wrangle that crap in. I like the idea of...if you flop (injury or not) you must sit out that series and can not come back in until after. It would be for the players safety.

I believe if the game is stopped for a player injury then ONLY the injured player can be subbed. The injured player must sit out a prescribed number of plays and players in the game must go to the middle of the field and coaches stay on the sidelines. to prevent extra timeouts.

 

[1Volnation]

Only if the do.

 

[1Volnation]

do

They

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Only on extra points after a quick touchdown to extend the defenses rest time cough…cough!

 

[Voltopia]

There won't be any need to flop. Georgia is going to run their offense as slowly as they can. Tennessee's greatest strength right now is its quick strike play potential, and the best way to neutralize that is to not let it get on the field.
