The salient points of light rolling and two useful drills, he says, are as follows.. check out his original post here including the excellent video.

5. Work on specific situations, without having to fight to get there.
6. Lifts teams level as a whole.
7. Create a training environment with room for everyone.

The monkey drill sounds challenging! But fun, as well. Lots off good stuff. :)
I love doing a slow roll. I learn a lot, and I get to try cool stuff I normally wouldn't be able to pull off :)
