Found this over the weekend on PFT about the Chiefs‘ own Tim Krumrie. Personally, I think the drill says a lot about a player’s mental toughness, among other traits, but that’s just me. I guess we all know that Pete Carroll pampers all of those semi-pros over at USC. Check it out:
The Times reported that Carroll watched some of his former players engage in “a hand-to-hand combat drill,” and that Carroll didn’t like the contact and vowed, “That won’t happen again here.”
We’ve since learned that the coach in question was Kansas City Chiefs defensive line coach Tim Krumrie, and we’ve been reminded of a PFT report from last year about Michigan’s pro day, when a source said Krumrie roughed up defensive tackle Alan Branch.
According to Scott Wolf of the San Bernardino Sun, Carroll got angry when USC draft prospects Sedrick Ellis, Lawrence Jackson and Alex Morrow were put through a drill in which they had to knock away Krumrie’s arms “until they almost fell from exhaustion.”
Krumrie was a two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman who played for the Bengals for 12 years and is best remembered for a Theismannesque injury in Super Bowl XXIII. Apparently he misses the contact of his playing days and likes to test himself against the young bucks, and apparently Carroll is among those who thinks he goes too far.
