I'm not sure why you consider the last play a mistake on Campbell. The D-Line flushed the quarterback from the pocket. The QB spy Anzalone took too aggressive an angle on Purdy and missed the tackle. That was the mistake.

As a Lions fan it was average. But to be fair they didn't play him to his strengths and played him out of position most of the time. He should do better this year.

The biggest reasons for this was the Anzalone & Barnes were playing great at LB & because they struggled so much with that Jack LB & edge rusher (opposite Aiden obviously) so because they had 2 LBs playing so well they were just trying everything to generate pressure in the beginning middle of the season

@@adgee5401you’re right, Anazalone and DB were playing really good as the main backers. But Campbells strengths is playing as a pure Mike, which we didn’t do. It worked for the most part, and eventually Glenn gave him the reigns at Mike occasionally towards the end of the year where he had some really good games. It will be interesting to see him in year 2 with a new D-line

Lmfao. Here it is! The infamous “He MakEs TaCkElS’ post. And the smugness after is the cherry. Here. Allow me. 125 tackles as a rookie-Ernie Sims. 111 tackles in 2004-Earl Holmes 112 tackles in 2001-Chris Claiborne 104 tackles in 2004- Teddy Lehman. Literally the dumbest point anybody makes is a high tackle number. Now here’s a huge super secret thing. Linebacker back up the line. No really. They clean up what the line funnels to them. Defensive tackles don’t actually make hundreds of tackles-they usually engage blockers and eat space for the LB to make the play. A guy can have 40 tackles in a game and if they’re all 7 yards down field, he didn’t do his job.

@@FlairVSSavage I'll never understand the Anzalone hate. Dude has made so many big plays, put up very impressive numbers for Detroit... and yeah, on occasion makes a bonehead play...like all do. He has unquestionably been Detroit's best coverage linebacker his entire time in, forces and recovers fumbles, gets a lot of tackles for loss, and a few sacks...

I am excited by Jack as I often mocked him as my 2nd pick in the 23 draft exactly where they took him. What held him back was exactly the last play you selected. He is a Mike LB. Not an edge rusher, not a Sam backer, not a DT. Put him @Mike for a decade, he will be solid. 🎬 👍🏾👍🏾#OnePride🦁

The biggest thing that limited his snaps in year one had nothing to do with him, it was the development of Derrick Barnes, Barnes was so much better than he had been the prior year that he straight up took the starting job.

I felt it might take Campbell a minute to develop and he was playing much better at the end of the year. I see DJ Reader helping Jack Campbell the most, even more than AH or Alim, because that second DT was not very consistent or much of a presence last season. McNeil, Reader, and Campbell seems like a pretty damned stout middle for the Lions D
