I don't think that a rule stating that, if you went down and play was stopped as a result, you have to stay out for, say three plays, would cause major disruption...

The NFL proves it’s rather simple to enforce under the right set of rulesImpossible to enforce
IOW, a "no fault" rule. It would discourage fakes and also protect the players from being pushed back in, in the case of a real injury...I agree and something along these lines would stop it entirely
A possible solution and an already approved protocol for player safety, assessment is the concussion protocol currently being implemented in the nfl. Maybe tweak it a little bit. Let us say, for player safety, if a player goes down and play has to be stopped that player has to go through a modified assessment from a licensed md and or including a neurosurgeon neurological wellness assessment if it involves a potential concussion. That should take at least a few plays and if there are numerous objections in regards to the the need for a full assessment, ie non concussive situation, the player simply has cramps, exhaustion or that is the claim, then the player player in question must sit out the rest of that possession at a minimum.

The old Self family farm is near there - Berlin...
Ya’ll hitting close to home. My wife is from Holly Pond and has family in Berlin.2nd Offense should be a 15 yard penalty, and the player sets out a full game.
A Country Cousin of mine (Holly Pond, before it became prosperous) used to say... 'That'll Break Em From Sucking Eggs'.
Now there are Million Dollar Homes where they used to live.
Yea but it is still Holly Pond!2nd Offense should be a 15 yard penalty, and the player sets out a full game.

Again, complicates it as someone will have to monitor the time.A five minute clock time on the sidelines for an injury that stops play would solve this problem. If a player is really hurt, he should stay out for a few minutes anyway.
My Fathers Mother was from Berlin.Ya’ll hitting close to home. My wife is from Holly Pond and has family in Berlin.
Staying out till the next possession would give the fakers time to make a trip to the medical tent.How would you define "Hurry up"...
Seriously, that would have to be defined in order to enforce it.
Would be another clock for that?
I put the blame on Gus. At Auburn, he taught the rest of College Football how to fake injuries. I'm sure it was going on before Auburn, but Gus was so obvious. It's always gripped my gut...Gus is losing sleep over this one
There was that video from behind the EZ. One player turns to the one next to him and makes a gesture with his hand to remind the other, who promptly crumples to the ground...I put the blame on Gus.

I hear you but in todays game, especially the benefit and advantage of slowing down a fast pace of play up tempo type team, 3 plays may not be enough to discourage this type of issue. They already have to sit out the next play and that has done nothing to curb it. Current depth and a more regular rotation of schemes and multiple players at different positions probably will not be an issue either with just an additional 2 plays, for most top teams.Earle's solution is elegant in its simplicity.
Agreed! Just imagine how long the instant replay will last as they guess about a player's intent. Hahaha. Replay already sucks the life out of a game to me. I can't imagine those discussions with their "rules experts". Click.Absolutely impossible to enforce, and I promise you if they try you'll hate it more than the players taking a dive.
That's also true. I just thought about the laughable conversations they could have with replay. If I haven't been clear, I want less replay and to get rid of ridiculous targeting. Carry on.I don't think that a rule stating that, if you went down and play was stopped as a result, you have to stay out for, say three plays, would cause major disruption...
