Because he's having flashbacks of the ice bowl...

Pope tends to use unconventional methods such as this. The other day, his group was catching passes while wearing swim goggles, or at least I think that was the report. The objective is pretty straight forward, but interesting enough to keep his guys engaged while drilling fundamental points early on in camp.

Unrelated to this but about maintaining focus. Bob Lilly used to practice touching his own eyeball without blinking while the team was watching film. He said he didn't want someone's fingers inside the face mask distracting him and his focus on the football.

Mr. Cowboy was for real a bad, bad man.

Getting a sack while triple teamed impressed me.

Reminds me of "fire in the hole" days of being a pledge. We were forced into a small room, about 20 of us, all smoking cigars for hours with someone throwing ice water in every now and then. If we let the cherry go out, we received additional hazing :D
