What do you all make of Pickett's fake slide?

[AK_Cane]

It's trash either keep it this way and get rid of the flags when players hit the slider or outlaw the fake slide

New rule implemented

When he gets jacked up like Marshawn Lynch did Drake in that music video it will all be worth it.

Looks like the loophole has been filled. Good that they added the addendum to that, but I don't blame Pickett. Smart play.

Wake coach: Pitt QB's fake slide a slippery slope

After his Wake Forest defense was victimized by a fake slide from Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett, Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson thinks the NCAA should outlaw such a move.

Clawson is a bit salty about it:






I think you play to the whistle, but I can see where penalties and injuries could result from if it became normal.

Easy fix...players don't have to be touched when down in college. Change it

 

[We the Boss]

Outlaw the slide.

Outlaw the slide.

Agreed. Is there any real data showing fewer injuries for QBs since the slide rule started? Still seeing them being injured. They should be treated like any other player carrying the ball. RBs get injured also. It is a violent sport.

They need to make a rule that if ur fake slide ur automatically ruled down. Bc if they would’ve hit his *** on a slide it would’ve been targeting

It wouldn’t be targeting but it would be a personal foul.

Glad to see they made the rule change.

they need to address play stopping fake injuries as well while they are at it. they sit out one play and right back in...... change the rules out for remainder of series on any injury stoppage or some figure more then one play. BPD is still laughing

If you are "injured", and you walk are the field on your power you should be out for at least a quarter, Hey player safety right?. Probably will make you reevaluate how hurt you are
