How Pete Carroll got this Raiders team believing again

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Pete Carroll's energy was in overdrive during Las Vegas Raiders minicamp.

Decked out in a white long-sleeve shirt, gray sweats and a Raiders hat, the first-year Las Vegas coach turned the team's stretching period into a wrestling match when he snuck up on 6-foot-6, 328-pound offensive lineman Thayer Munford Jr.

"I pinned him," Carroll said.

He later tried claiming another victim: 284-pound defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway. However, the rookie refused to budge against Carroll's version of "the People's Elbow."

The 73-year-old didn't stop there.
