Raiders veteran DT Adam Butler is making it clear that he does not like the tackle dummy at mandatory minicamp

The Las Vegas Raiders have quite the characters on their team. Of course, there is Maxx Crosby, who is funny in his own right, specifically with his team and coaches, but is a dog on the field.
They have guys like Ashton Jeanty now, who seems to be a pretty funny guy based on all of the pre-draft stuff we heard, and the post-draft interviews he's done, like his episode on Crosby's podcast where he is asked which teammate he would want to face in Power Slap. That moment was pretty funny.
And just as a whole, this offseason, there have been some pretty funny moments, like the giant hamster ball at practice on Thursday. Then, sometimes you watch the drills that these guys do, and there are some hilarious moments, one of them happened on Thursday, and you can't help but laugh.
Raiders' Thursday at mandatory minicamp features Adam Butler in hilarious way
Sometimes, when you watch the defensive line do the tackle dummy drills, you will see Crosby do some funny stuff, like just absolutely kill the dummies while going at half speed or even lower than that, if he even has a speed lower than full speed. This time, it was veteran defensive tackle Adam Butler.
He rounded the cones and the other dummies, bending and getting low to the ground as he was turning corners, and then, where he was supposed to knock down the dummy that was acting as the QB in the pocket, he jumped on top of it, literally belly flopping on the inflatable dummy.
It's hilarious because the guy is massive, but he just plops down. And if you have heard any of the interviews he has done, he's such a down-to-earth dude with a great head on his shoulders. Then, you see him do that, and it makes everything better. It was truly hilarious.
And that is just part of the culture that Pete Carroll has built. You saw it with the Seattle Seahawks, which helped them win a Super Bowl over the Denver Broncos, and you have seen it even now, while he's pinning Thayer Munford to the ground during stretches like he's in WWE.
This team is fun.
