I understand being a little uneasy about the switch to the 3-4 but this is SO UNLIKE KAMPY. What is his deal? Hmmmm.... I wish he would speak to the media.
I think Kamp is doing the best thing he can for Kamp.
I'm sure he's somewhat pissed.
It's no sure thing that this whole deal will work out. I know they will feed him the new job in bite-sized pieces, but there is coverage involved and he might not pick it up.
You'd imagine he's uneasy, worried and pissed all at the same time.
He's not that far away from his next contract. He knows that he's worth a fortune in the 4-3. The 3-4 means uncertainty. This isn't at all surprising to me.
Where are the posters talking about AK's seamless transition to olb? This is not like changing a light bulb.
Hopefully AK is rarely required to drop into coverage.
What do you think this story proves? That he's not capable of making the transition?

I'm not too worried about it. Julius Peppers doesn't want to play 4-3 DE, but he's pretty damn good at it. I would fully expect Aaron Kampman to work hard to make the transition. I don't see him becoming a locker room cancer.
I'll actually wait to hear from Kampman before trying to figure out how's he feeling.

I'm not sure people expected it to be seamless. I sure didn't expect Kampman to have this down after a couple days of OTA's. We're 2 months away from training camp folks. Plenty of time for him to work on whatever he might be struggling with. If it turns out dropping into coverage is a big problem for him, the defense will be designed in a way that doesn't require him to drop much.

This is not the issue. The point is numerous posters were talking about AK's previous experience at Iowa as a lb and athleticism makes the transition as simple as reciting the alphabet.

I watched Gilbert Brown dropping into coverage a few nights ago in Superbowl 31. I had forgotten what a mad scientist Fritz was. Gil looked a lot skinnier than later on in his career, but nowhere near as lean as Kampy is.

I don't remember that. Are you exaggerating a little bit?
