[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 35094, member: 198"] Until there's proof that this is increasing injuries, I don't see the justification for a rule. This is similar to the discussion to remove cut-blocking from football. To me, that has more merit than this rule. There's documented evidence that cut blocking produces injuries. That being said, there are very few coaches out there calling for legistlation away from cut-blocking. I don't buy the fatigue thing, it's about the Defense being able to sub personnel groupings and inact defensive schemes, not safety. Yes, we'll see more fake injuries, and we'll probably see some kind of "flop" rule instituted where an injured player has to come out for a set number of plays or be cleared to return by the team physician or something like that. I'd also like to see an automatic ejection rule for both the player and the head coach when there is clear evidence of a flop. I understand what you're saying, and I can't say you're wrong. I can only say that I think the reason for the rule is not about safety and that Sabin and others are more interested in limiting the offensive advantage gained by not allowing substitutions on Defense.
