I just don't see this rule as having a significant impact. Nobody is getting ejected for a single ticky-tack penalty. It is designed to stop the obscenely dirty play we saw from Denver this past year.how many times have players been called for multiple personal fouls in one game (particularly the kind that will result in ejection)?
It's a dumb rule in college and it will be a dumb rule in the NFL.
Talib nearly killed a guy and it cost them a half a yard, and he bragged about that fact. I agree that it's probably a dumb rule, but the officials have almost never ejected anyone for anything except hitting a ref.
I feel like it isn't really needed. 15 yards is huge.
Fines are a joke. And as I noted above, it certainly isn't always 15 yards. All too often, the penalties offset and there aren't any consequences whatsoever.15 yards and fines are effective...
15 yards is a big deal when there is 15 yards to concede.So we've gotten to the point in which we are adopting soccer rules? Two yellow cards (er, personal fouls) and you are out? Will the player get to play in the next game? I mean, c'mon this is just silly.
As others have said 15 yards is already a big deal. We've seen enough bad calls to the point where unwarranted 15 yards penalties are bad enough, nevermind getting a guy wrongfully kicked off the field.
I'll be honest. Tossing a guy for being called twice for any of the 3 items listed is fine by mean.
1) Throwing a punch
2) Abusive language/gestures
3) Taunting.
When have you seen a single player get called twice for taunting??
