Browns coach Mangini curious if Lions' injuries were stall tactic
Is this guy for real? He' doing it again???
Just as before... of course players engage in that sort of gamesmanship. Anyone recall Willie McGinest suffering an injury against the Colts?
But most coaches are smart enough NOT to talk about this sort of thing in public, even though it's common knowledge in the coaching world that teams steal and videotape signal calling (whoops, I mean fake ailments during the game to buy some additional time).

On Monday, Cleveland's embattled coach questioned whether Detroit's defensive players faked injuries to slow down the Browns' no-huddle offense, which racked up a season-high 439 yards during a 38-37 loss.
Mangini didn't flatly accuse the Lions of cheating, but he noted the high number of Lions players who were helped from the field -- only to return.
"I'm just saying there were a lot of them (injuries)," he said.
