Dallas Cowboys Tight Ends Getting Ready for Post-NFL Chippendale's Careers During Practice

Dallas Cowboys tight ends coach Mike Pope has been around the league teaching guys how to play for a long, long time. Chances are he is going to have a few tricks up his sleeve on how to motivate guys. You know--some old school methods of coaching.

Wednesday he broke out a classic old school method to help the tight ends concentrate--he threw ice at them.

The concept is pretty straightforward. When you are in the game there will be all sorts of distractions from the fans to a trash talking defender to a ref that wants to flag you for illegal breathing (and more).

So to teach them how to focus and block out the distractions he threw ice at them as they caught balls.



For it to be an effective tool the guys had to do it shirtless of course. That probably added another distraction making the drill even better--all the female fans watching practice screaming "take it all off" and waiving dollar bills at them!
