Discipline – Walk the Walk or The Game Goes On

If you were the coach

Depends on the situation. It will always be at least one play to give him and the opponents a chance to cool off.  However, if it was cheap and had the intent to cause injury  (diving at a knee) it would be much longer than a few plays.  I have benched players for the ballance of the game in some cases (throwing a punch). I will not discuss the next week's practice for that player.

With the being said there are times that, say I want to get in to a QB's head... where I am OK with a obvious roughing call. It will be a play on the bench and a reminder to keep it clean.

Is there a point to this question as in a play or player?

King - Not in particular. Watching several of the games I noticed a couple coaches pulled the players off the field after make a blatant foul. On another game, and sorry I do not remember which one (lots of games on the package), one of the players was not calming down when he came off and the coach sent him to the locker room. I understand the need for aggressive play, but where do you draw the line??

so hard to answer, it depends on the situation. Is it repetitive? Was it real or a bad call? Keeping intensity, a coach would know most of the time if something is intentionally cheap or not I hope. I imagine depth would play on how free a coach would be to pull a player to cool off. 

Yesterday we got stuck with that personal foul facemask on the D that extended an army drive, on the replay it was clear it was not. The call I guess worked out because of the Pick we had a play or two later. 

 

I liked @ipd054 answer.

King that's why I said a "blatant" foul.

I think King burned his french toast this morning. Wait, this isn't the football forum, is it?

I know but some thought the hit on Del Rio was blatant, others thought Wheeler was pushed/falling into him. One man's blatant is not next man's idea of blatant is all. 

 

Mmmmm French Toast, damn but I have no syrup.
