re: Unpopular opinion about the cramp Flops

If it is really a cramp the player should be attempting to get off the field ASAP under his own power and a TO should be used if he cannot make it.

Stoppages of the game with no TO should be reserved for plausible contact injuries and should be done immediately after the contact.

If the injury results in a stoppage of the clock (when it was running) and the injured player's team has no timeouts, I'd like to see a rule change to provide a clock runoff of some kind.

Same thing for when replay stops the clock when it otherwise would be running and the team has no timeouts (the Bama-Auburn first half situation). There needs to be a runoff there too.
