Hammered a Lot Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I bet I could have no problem going through his endurance test... HHHMM. Last year Krumie would leave the stadium and drive by my house at 4pm every day. So when you at standing at OBD, stop the guy with the cowboy hat on driving the F150. Let me know when you are going to do the challenge. I'll bring my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be some sort of bare minimum test. If Krumrie were 35 then maybe this would have some meaning. Is he gonna keep doing this as if it's impressive when he's 50? 60? Big deal. That's the problem with the Bills, they live by cute little stories and not big, bad, mean players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been numerous stories about his physical conditioning and weight lifting habits. I'd say the problem with the Bills isn't that they're being too cute, it's that no one on the team can get the better of him on a wrestling mat. Krumrie's a bad-a$$.

Good point on the Bills problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point on the Bills problem. 270390[/snapback] My impression is that the test isn't just about strength. It's about agility, leverage, balance, stamina and, probably most importantly, composure, all done in an unorthodox manner. By the time a player figures out he's not going to get failed/fired/fined/jailed for letting the Coach have it, he's already started to lose his composure. It's how he handles the completely unexpected, rather than being able to break a certain grip with brute strength. And Krumrie's going to always have the upper hand there...IMO, of course.

The Bills don't choose the stories that get written. AND, Krumrie's been doing this test for years, when he was in Cinci. And every year that he does this, almost all the lineman interviewed say it was a tough test. I'm sure the Bills (and the Bengals before them) aren't trying to be cute. and I'm sure they don't make this "the" determining factor of a lineman's toughness. I think maybe we should see a video of it. maybe words don't do it justice. and maybe it's talked up a bit. I still would like to see an actual video.
