Finger injuries. Something has to be done.

[Garnacho]

If your finger is so badly hurt that you have to lay down on the field and stop the game, then you should have to sit the rest of the quarter as a safety precaution to make sure all of your fingers are ok. This sh*t is beyond ridiculous.

Teams have been running tempo offenses for over a decade now. Put in a row that a player has to sit out at least a quarter if they are so badly hurt that they cannot even get off the field.

ANY injury should lead to missing the rest of the drive. A second drive if the current drive is say 3 or fewer plays after the so called injury.

This reminds me of a classic movie scene:

Maybe Tony should've taken the night off after this incident.

Lol dude. You didn't know that a hurt finger can stop you from walking a couple of feet to the sidelines??? Yah man, finger injuries!!

Disirregardless of the shltty game Miami played (esp the D) it was an absolute joke. I was having nightmarish flashbacks to the FIU game.

Don’t you agree @Tad Footeball ?

It stops Will Fuller from doing anything but sit on the sidelines collecting $10M in game checks.

The rule should be that player missing the balance of that drive or a minimum of "x" plays while he's evaluated and Drs ensure he's not doing further damage by continuing to complete. Maybe that's 5? Whatever it is, it should 100% be more than 1.

100%.

The firing press release by the school should read:

"Disirregardless of some fugly wins AND flukey losses this year (and in preceeding years) by the football program under the tutelage of Man E. Dias, this program is what it is and the university at large, The Big Cheese, Evenings Delight and the fine folks at Perry Ellis find it unacceptable..."

How many guys did GT have go down with "injury" forcing the game to be stopped? Seemed like every other play.

 

[CanesAreAble]

Either sit out the rest of the possession, or lose a timeout.

The soccer injury b.s. has to go.

Do not like it either but no rule to stop it. Question is, since allowed, why is Miami not smart enough to do this?

Whole series. Come back next time on possession

 

[CorniceCane]

How many times did 6, 3 and 2 flip down and grab things in their bodies? Something has to be done. Painful to watch the game and clearly has an impact on momentum. He may have hurt his little itty bitty fingy, but why not make him trot off of the field. Has to be a good solution. Perhaps you have to sit out the entire drive unless a timeout is burned. That way you can not be disadvantaged if it is legitimate but are “penalized” by having to waste a TO. Can’t keep watching this crap. Butch Davis, for all that he has done for this University, can go to **** for introducing the flop to the nation against us and it becoming something that is being adopted by others.

What movie?

 

[Mnhurricane]

All that does is ensure we can’t run hurry up inside zone for a loss of 1. I say we send them a thank you card

 

[canesplaymaker]

Ref - what’s wrong kid!
Player- my finger is jammed up bad
Ref- are your legs ok?
Player- yes
Ref- then get the **** off the field
