I wonder if future opponents make plans for a known dirty player. I’m sure they don’t want to lose their own QB.
After seeing the evidence against #44 Jacob Callier I thought how I would handle dirty play as a coach. Obviously I would be very clear that instigating it would not be tolerated and there would be severe consequences if caught. I’d also tell them to let me know immediately if an opposing player is playing dirty and I would determine how to handle it. Apparently conferences and other teams allow this so the only choice is to correct it on the field before one of your own players is hurt. I concluded it makes sense to coach how to take a player out of a game for cases like this, preferably without penalty. You’re not protecting your players otherwise and nobody else will. The only problem I see with this is that you need to make sure you’re not retaliating for a retaliation that one of your own players instigated, hence the severe penalty for instigating dirty play.
