Not sure what football concept was being taught. Sadism thinly disguised as discipline. Chicken shite drill.

Kid took it like a man. Probably earned some respect from his teammates.

There were many times my face mask was grabbed as a coach yelled into my face. Once a coach kicked me in the arse for not getting off the snap quick enough. Guess what? I did not take it personally. I got better. Much the same happened in basic training for mistakes that I never made twice.

I had to do that in practice the week after I badly missed my block on a pivotal play in our first loss of the season. Coach tried to make me quit but I wouldn't.

These crazy weekend warrior coaches really think that makes a person a better player when it is proven at that age you are developing a kids skill. The best youth coaches I have seen in my 35 years doing this never played those crazy drills. Never.

I don't like Herbstreit, but the drill is stupid and dangerous past the second tier and the coach laughing like a street thug methie confirms that a certain percentage of peewee coaches should be beaten with frying pans

Had a similar drill in 3rd and 4th grade football. Difference was the group of two were in a long line and the single runner has to get up and run to the next group. I hated it when I was the runner. Of course, it was always a bit funny when the runner was a small guy or when most got towards the end of the line.

We did the same thing in jr high but it was a punishment for skipping class

Herbstreit has way too many opinions that no one cares to hear.

I’ll just take your word that Kirk is furious since nothing you posted mentions Kirk
