    Apparently Campbell had the young pups in the center trying to break out of the veteran circle around them, rugby style...

    It's fun and it brings energy to the table. I suggest we try the same on this site, only rhetorically. All the newbies take the stance that you should already have faith in Campbell, while us grizzled veterans will circle around you saying it is best to temper your emotions...GO!

    I fear what happens when he runs out of ideas and has to start inventing new stuff.

    - Players are dropped, one-at-a-time, with a knife held between their teeth, into an enclosure with a 11 rabid mountain lions painted with the opposing team's jersey numbers.
    - Players have their nipples attached to a braided-rawhide cord which is affixed to the bottom of the field-goal crossbar. They then jump to-and-fro until either the crossbar, cord, or nipples break.
    - The player lies on his back at the 50-yard line. The offensive and defensive linemen push a 10-ton slab of granite down onto him. He must dig his way out from under it before a whistle blows.
    - Players are paired off. They vie to crack one another's helmets open by any means necessary.
    - One player is hog-tied. The others beat him mercilessly until he dies, plus another 12 minutes. The player with the messiest uniform is the only one who gets to shower.
    - The team lines up in single-file in front of the punter. He kicks each one in their cup, full force until his leg tires. Then he switches legs.


    Additional suggestions welcome. Let's start a suggestions box for practice.

    It's painful enough to actually work! He should consider some of these or something similar...this would scare the Patriots and give us the win by default.

    I find the Dolphins do better the less I believe in them. That's our dysfunctional relationship. And I have to stop forgetting.

    Well away from here
    I say we have Ross pay for an alligator pit to be dug in the practice field end zone. That way all scoring plays will truly be earned.

    He did say he had something else in mind then decided it wouldn't be a good idea so he came up with this. I can only imagine what that other thing was.

    lol... why stop there?

    - The team gets barefoot and practices on a bed of hot coals
    - Players are required to lay on the field while Rizzi drives over them in a golf cart screaming ''Man up, you pu***es'!!"
    - Players have to dig pits and fight each other with sledge hammers
    - Players have pretend to be Bighorn Sheep and batter each other with helmet to helmet hits until one quits
    - The offense and defense takes turns making the other run an Iroquois Gauntlet
    - Gator-ade Waterboarding...
    - Greased pig "rasslin" (not the stuff Mclovin does in bars at 3am)

    lol...

    he may just be a star in the making..early signs look great..

    cares genuinely about them, deals with them in delicate manners sometimes, not fake in any way whatsoever, aggressive badassness oozing from body, people shutup and listen when he speaks, players look for his, not blessing, not acknowledgement, whats the word?, minds going blank?...like when they do something right, like when a son looks at his father when he hits a baseball?

    By seasons end I fully expect our boys to have evolved into the psychos from Mad Max. Dan Campbell will walk around with a chrome paint can, spraying it into our defenses face before they go on the field, "make this play and I will personally carry you to valhalla!" Then Wake runs onto the field "WITNESS ME!!!!!!"

    Slightly left of center
    If they don't win they have to listen to Christmas music all week long in the locker room.

    Drop the ball you have to run back to the line with your pants down. Practice and game time.

    Chicken fights in the pool. Top four teams get split up and start over with cheerleaders on top. This will need to be videoed.

    If they EVER play as a team like they did before Campbell took over this season they have to personally refund every ticket holder.

    There is a Walmart right across the street from the stadium, you think football is hard, go work the night shift there.

    And last, to simulate crowd noise, get Miko Grimes and her gang of hat haired hoochies drunk and put em on the sidelines to yell at the offense.

    Technical question - how is breaking out of a ring of guys a rugby scrum or rugby 'style'? Can't say I've ever seen it.

    I've just seen the video of the drill and it definitely wasn't any sort of rugby scrum. Can't say I've ever seen it as a rugby drill either. People just spouting hot air?

    Breaking out of a scrum or catching the ball on a line-out, and then taking the ball down the field with other players pushing either in front or in back is called a "maul".

    I like the ideas he's employing, but I think he should be pacing himself, let each new thing set in for a few weeks and then change it up, he's going to run out of motivational ideas.

    It isn't and Americans use the term Scrum wrong anyway when it comes to describing that mass of humanity during a play on the pitch. It is more like a rugby maul or a ruck, as a scrum is a set piece that is organised to start play. That is similar to where the snap of the ball comes from, well actually the way the defense and offense lines up is more like Rugby League than a Rugby Union scrum.
