Tipster19 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Those stupid drills that DL coach Tim Krumrie puts his players and prospects thru are getting ridiculed around the league. I guess that Donahoe had more than his share of failed draft picks but where I think where he really bombed out was with the coaches that he assembled. http://www.sbsun.com/sports/ci_8790380 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/05/...ot-carroll-mad/ http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Leinart once said he got nervous throwing on Pro Day two years ago, but Booty acted like he did not have a care in the world. "Throwing is what I've done my whole life," Booty said. "There's no nervousness to me. I threw the deep balls to both sides. I also threw the speed-out routes. Those were the two things I needed to show." A QB that handles pressure well will be good in the NFL from a mental standpoint. As to Krumrie's little test; Carroll got angry when NFL coaches put Ellis, Lawrence Jackson and Morrow through a "hand-fighting" drill with Kansas City assistant Tim Krumrie. The players had to knock away Krumrie's arms until they almost fell from exhaustion. "I'm still light-headed," Ellis said. Carroll expressed his displeasure with the coaches. "That won't happen again here," he said. _______________________________________________________________ We’re of two minds on this one. On the one hand, it’s understandable that Carroll wouldn’t want to see these players get roughed up in a drill when they’re not wearing pads. On the other hand, these guys aren’t Carroll’s players anymore, and if the NFL coaches at the pro day think the drill can help them evaluate the players, well, that’s what pro days are for. Maybe the best way to handle it would be for one of these 22-year-old players in the drill with the 47-year-old Krumrie to knock his hands away hard enough that Krumrie decides he doesn’t want to run the drill anymore. (In my best Butthead) That'd be cool! _____________________________________________________________ “The drill in question involved Krumrie heavily laying his hands on the shoulders of the defensive linemen. They are to slap his hands off. It went on for several minutes for each of the players. [sedrick] Ellis went first, then [Lawrence] Jackson, then [Alex] Morrow. Ellis was the toughest of the bunch, with Jackson ultimately wearing down and lying exhausted on the ground. It was then that Carroll began fuming. He said something to Krumrie a moment after he worked out Morrow and then Carroll went on to speak to several other NFL personnel about the workout. He was pissed, but the comments were inaudible.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I think Krumrie is tough and one of the best DL coaches and former d-linemen around. Carroll was ticked because his guys probably showed pretty poorly in the test. That said, the test isn't necessarily a great indicator. I think Tim Anderson aced it.

silvermike Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I think Krumrie is tough and one of the best DL coaches and former d-linemen around What great d-lines has he been responsible for? The Chiefs were pretty lousy, we were worse, and he came from the Bengals. Ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 i find it interesting that Krumrie can go 3 rounds in a row, with fresh guys, and leave each of them exhausted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugly. agreed, i like the "idea" of a guy like Krumrie. he represents what football is about. but he hasnt been much of a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 krumrie was a great/very good player and is a guy who breathes and lives football. as far as being a coach it is hard to say, but tim anderson was absolutely horrible and not once did he show any pro ability.
