quote:
Cutcliffe was most concerned with the fact that he and every other coach he has spoken with (he estimated it was between 12-15 just today, from both coasts and most conferences) had no idea this proposal was coming.
"We felt blindsided by this," Cutcliffe said. "I had heard it before, obviously, but I had no idea it was on the table. We did not discuss this in the (FBS) head coaches’ meeting at the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association) convention in Indianapolis. It was not even on the agenda.
quote:
There would not be a mandatory 10-second wait to snap the ball in the last two minutes of each half—a fact Cutcliffe pointed out as running against the alleged idea of safety.
"If it’s player safety, I don’t understand why it would be okay to change the rhythm of the game in the two-minute period," he said.
quote:
Still, what bothers Cutcliffe most is the way this proposal came out of nowhere, a suggestion handed down from a 12-person football rules committee that was not discussed in a room full of FBS coaches at the annual convention.
"We talked abut everything imaginable that was on the agenda or around the corner or really a great need as we move forward with the game, to try to protect the game and the players of the game and the professionals, and this was never brought up," Cutcliffe said. None of us knew this was on the docket.
"You would think if this was something that was going to be moved to a vote by the football rules committee that directly affects every one of us in the coaching profession that it would have been put on the docket."

So the kid didn't have the mind to drop down and allow trainers to come and retrieve him?

No kidding. If a player hurts his ankle, he goes down adn the trainers come see him. If you can't breathe, you do the same.

For those who don't think that the Defense should be given an opportunity to sub and/or line up: Do you think it is ok in baseball for a pitcher to throw a pitch before the batter is in the batter's box? This is essentially what the HUNH tries to do to Defenses.

is highly flawed and your comparison is not similar either

Then shouldn't the rule be implemented for the whole game? What you guys are saying is it's ok for an offense to do this for the final 2 minutes of each half but not for the rest of the game. So it should be ok for a pitcher to throw a pitch before the batter gets into the box in only the 9th inning right?

Also, as was stated above, this is wrong. The defense does have the opportunity to sub between each snap, they just don't have the ability because the players are too slow. If you want to sub during the HUNH then the players need to be sprinting on and off the field rather than jogging like they always do.

I didn't say anything about when the rule should be implemented, but, yes, I do think it should be implemented for the whole game.

It's actually a pretty good comparison if you will think about it objectively.
