Solution for penalty problem?

[jauken]

Hi all,

As i was reading the article on how Bo is trying to address increased penalty issues.. I had an idea.. I know its not original..but i have heard of coaches who lead by punishment to instill discipline.

My idea is simple.. For every penalty that is incurred, the amount of yardage accumulated by each player could be used to make that player run the stadium steps.. So lets say Mike Smith accumulated 15 yards in penalties, he would then run the steps 15 times.. This would instill discipline and let them know that there are consequences to their mental lapses. With punishment, you have to have some level of congratulatory award that rewards a person who exhibits penalty discipline.

This is akin to a RB who fumbles alot, and a coach makes him carry a football with him everywhere.

Just something i have been thinking about since this weekend..

I don't care how he fixes it... but it better happen.

Although I doubt he will do that. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to do that for honest mistakes. Although possible for the personal fouls.

Screw that running the steps thing. If you get a personal foul during the game for something stupid, you're riding the pine the rest of the game or at the very least, an amount of time equal to the penalty yards (15yd penalty means you ride the pine for 15 minutes on the playing clock).
