Get some of that defense going, then watch out.

Little worried about other defenses flopping to disrupt the offense -- CJH needs to find a way to counter it, because I highly doubt the NCAA will make any rule changes to prevent it

We need to get our own defense to make the opposing team to pay for flopping the old fashioned way.

Unfortunately, the probable outcome is 15 yard unnecessary roughness/unsportsmanlike conduct penalties if our defense goes Clubber Lang/Al Wilson on them.

I'm all for Huepel going full ham. If the other team starts the injury thing, from that point on, every snap Tennessee has an injury, on offense or defense, and I don't care if the game goes 10 hours long. At the press conference after, own it and say, they started it, we finished it, the NCAA won't do anything, so we've had to take matters into our own hands.

If only we could find a few Al Wilson’s somewhere.

This would probably get it changed and I agree. That said Heupel won’t do that.

I think we’ve both watched enough football to know that Al Wilson type players wouldn’t make it with the rules that are in place

Al Wilson could not play two hand touch football.

Intensely physical charismatic linebackers/team leaders still exist. We just haven't had any lately.

Most if not all of Al’s hits/tackles would draw a flag.

Most if not all his hits would likely knock these Qbs out of the game now.

Have a few Al Wilson types hit the rule makers first.

Some teams are better at faking injuries than others. After one of our games a fan of an opposing team was complaining about one of our players being injured after an extra point and saying how it was a cheap way to get an extra timeout. After I explained to him how it didn’t work that way, since there would already be a timeout and the best play to fake an injury on is 2nd down, he insisted that it was still a cheap way to get an extra timeout.

I think a Vol should fall down with an injury on the second play of the first game and maybe a few games more... just to send a message to the NCAA idiots in charge of nothing
Or to Commissioner Stinky who lets trash like Kiffin get away with anything. Kiffin makes Sankey look like the fool he is.

I wouldn’t know how he makes adjustments, unless you slow it down a little. That isn’t the plan, I don’t think. I wonder if the plan is to speed up for the whole game this year? If you remember correctly, we slowed down in the second quarter, and some in the 4th.

When you’re at the bottom, the only way to go is up

 

[VolInNW]

I really like the idea that if the opposing team is flopping, then we have a defensive player go down every single play. It accomplishes two things:

1. Makes the point that fake flopping sucks
2. Gives our D that has almost no depth some extra time to rest.

Or, maybe, when an opposing player flops, a few of our guys should flop down and start wriggling on the field like funky worms. Make fun of them.
