[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 757557, member: 2299"] When looking at penalties you should look at what types of penalties they are because they tell you different things. If your LT holds the rushing DE who blew past him that is about to flatten the QB then that isn't a discipline issue at all. Same for a DB who commits PI against a WR who got by him. If anything, those penalties show good discipline (although other problems certainly). Some penalties like false starts, especially by freshmen, or converted long snappers playing TE, are in some ways discipline issues, but it's more the discipline that is gained through experience being in that situation. Some penalties are just a product of not being good enough and trying to get an edge. An OL against a rushing defender might try to get a bit more of the jersey than he is allowed, or a DL might try to time the snap a little bit closer to get an extra half step to try and make a play. and some are discipline related. Things like personal fouls often are (late hits, cheap shots, stuff like that). Things like delay of game when it isn't intentional are. Things like substitution infractions are, often, indicators of that. Because the type of intelligence that people think about when it comes to poking fun at other schools doesn't matter much when it comes to being a good football player most of the time, especially since most mistakes aren't about a lack of understanding of what needs to be done.
