Huge fines for pre-snap penalties

[mrla]

Since there is no excuse for these and 99.9% of the time they are the result of mental mistakes, cupcake Wade needs to levy huge fines (5-10k) for every pre-snap penalty on any player.

Thoughts?

You think WADE is gonna do this?

Slim to none chance and slim is on his last breath

I'd rather go with 10 pushups with increments of 5 for each additional infraction. The o-line would get it right real quick...

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Being that Jerry is in charge. He should implement this.


Flo will get mad and when it happens he will play with pissed off fire. Colombo too.... EVERYONE.

I like it.

and somebody teach Witten what an illegal shift is.

just deny them a meal every time they screw up the penalties would stop instantly

Aren't performance penalties like that...illegal?

Its like if you make a type-o at your job and get fined. I can't imagine this ever happening.

 

[Biggems]

pre and post snap penalties

btw, Ware would be paying a lot of fines since he is offsides at least once a game

yes. NFLPA.

Oh Great... then they will be too light and really get pushed around.

I gotta say he is timing his snaps down to the millisecond. I dont know if he is ALWAYS off sides.... maybe a few times... but I think he is nailing it. Correctly. No penalty.

 

[sacase]

Try getting that one past NFLPA

I'd go further than that. I'd start benching players that aren't showing improvement in this area.

If you're too dumb and/or unfocused to pay attention to the snap count then they're way too dumb and/or unfocused to actually execute the play called.

Way back when UCLA was winning basketball championships every year under John Wooden, he had a method of dealing with players who made mental mistakes or didn't listen to instruction. He never yelled at them or got in their faces, he just benched them.

Kareem (Alcindor then) tells a story of when he was a freshman and didn't pass the ball a couple of times when he was supposed to and Wooden sat him down. He said it the worst time of his life, sitting there and Wooden wouldn't even look at him. After a few minutes, that seemed like an eternity, Wooden let him back into the game and didn't have to say a word about it. Needless to say, Kareem passed the ball from then on.

That was a different era but it might still work. The problem is that it was college and this is the pros. Kareem wasn't getting millions to play and it wasn't costing an owner a ton of money to have his star player sitting on the bench after making a hue investment in him.

Still, I think it would be effective to some degree if the owner/GM would stay out of it and let the HC run the team. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of owner so it won't work here.

We benched Spears and now he plays somewhat better..

Remember when they promised to do pushups for every screwup? Haven't seen much of that lately.

Fines for presnap reads wouldn't work anyway. They need to increase mental focus not redirect it! They start focusing on fines for presnap stuff they will lose focus on the other stuff like line calls and duties! Wade needs to take someones job but since the Cowboys only have backups its nit worth doing!

Jimmy Rollins got benched for being late to something for the Phillies and that was coming off a NL MVP season. So it could work.

If they were to fine each presnap then the line wouldn't move until a second after the ball is snapped just to make sure they don't jump early. That would then result in sacks time after time. No thanks.

I rather the energy be used on giving the opponent a beat down than doing some exercise.
