Substitution Rule

I hate to ask this question because I should know the answer. What is the substitution rule? Yesterday Rogers snapped the ball quickly to try and draw a penalty against us. One time it backfired. Over the past years there have many times when the Hawks march down the field in hurry up mode but one of the refs stands over the ball and waits for the other team to substitute.

If the offense makes a substitution, the defense has to have the opportunity to substitute.

The referees are standing over the ball when the offense has made a substitution -- they are required, I believe, to stand there until the play clock has 10 seconds left, or until the defense has clearly finished substituting.

I think all that's right, anyway.

This is true, I remember a few years back when some teams were doing it on a regular basis (just as Rodgers likes doing now), and some defenders would feign an injury, and throw a wrench in the Offensive hurry up....I also remember a few times when an Offensive player would fake injury to try and get the Defense to back off on swarm blitzes.
