According to Yahoo News Kansas City Chiefs Running backs coach can a drill he uses to make the running backs catch the ball it’s called the Porter potty drill! This is where he makes his players sit in the porter potty and another player closes and opens the door really fast to train them to be ready to catch the ball fast and unprepared. This is not really for receivers they usually have more time to prepare themselves to catch the ball.
Does this sound stupid to you? Well it does to me too. But actually after watching it be done and thinking about it this drill is actually a good one. It may sound stupid but it works. If you think about it the door is closed you can’t see and he beams the ball fast while the player opens the door it just has to make them better at catching the ball unprepared.
Who would come up with this? The chief’s running backs coach actually learned this drill from the New England Patriots Tight End coach Mike Pope when he was in New England. I can’t imagine what came to Mike Pope’s head to make him think of such a thing like this it is just crazy.
What do you think? I think it’s crazy. It actually takes a smart person to think of something like this. I wonder what the players think of this drill. They probably trip out when he was like get in the porter potty I know I would of.
It seems necessity truly IS the mother of invention!! What a hoot!!
ReplyDeleteHowever...the Chiefs ARE looking more like an actual NFL ball club!
So...I'd say if they've gotta get IN the crapper to get their game OUT of it...
GO CHIEFS!!
