You're right....that would be pretty cool in football. I know they have it for individual games (like players running slower late in games). But I'd like to see a team be a little sluggish coming off a Monday Night game on short rest.
I guess that's the difference between sports though... I'd say most football players play every snap of their side of the ball withnthe exceptionsnto that being the minoritr, vs basketball players who need the rest due to the frequency of games. Apples to oranges comparison IMO. Football players are rested to prevent injury, rather than rest.
