kampman

[red]

this guy is a waste in our system

he's average at best dropping back and he hardly seems to be rushing the passer

we've managed to take one of the best defensive players in the game and turn him into a liability

he should have been traded in the offseason, and has to be traded this offseason is we are going to keep this system

he is way to valuable to waste on what he's doing now

[Tarlam!]

The commentary during last night's game was full of the above sentiment and many posters were also demanding that he put his hand down, finally.

He certainly seemed out of place when I was focussing on him.

Agree. Wasted pass rusher. 3-point stance and go.

We may have to trade him for a high pick and that's sad because he is a hell of a player, just not a great 3-4 lb.

I'm sure Kampman's stock is soaring at present and teams are lining up to give up a high pick for him.

Isn't he a free agent next year?

yeah, thats why we should probably try and do something, you know, now

while we can still get something for him

i would imagine TT would be burned at the stake if he just let kampman walk

If you franchise him the you have leverage and can get something. Otherwise a team could just wait and sign him in the offseason.

[red]

the problem is, what if you franchise him and no one bites?

then we're stuck with a guy that really isn't good at his position, but we're paying him buttloads

and would he be franchised as a OLB or a DE? or are they pretty close in money?

Yea, the minute he signs that tender you have to get whatever you can.....that's the risk.

I don't think his stock has diminished, teams are smart enough to know that he is in a new position. I can see someone giving us a high pick for Kampman to play DE. I don't know what scares me more, Kampman as a DL in the 3-4 or Jenkins & Picket dropping back into coverage.

[Ballboy]

One has to question:

Is Kampman better as a down lineman in the 3-4 or a LB in the 3-4?

I REALLY think that even though he doesn't have the "size" everyone thinks he should have for a 3-4 DL, his play or lack of playmaking ability at LB almost makes him a liability at the position. Would the likes of Poppy be better for the LB and then use Kampman at DL? The fact of the matter is he held up fine against the run in previous years.

Kampman was about the only guy to even sniff Favre last night. He has also been pretty outstanding in the run game. Unlike Popping, Kamp stays home and plays the runner very well off the block.

I don't get the big whine job by the announcers. Once they even complained about him dropping into coverage when the replay clearly showed him rushing the passer. Talking points.

[rbaloha1]

Fish out of water dropping in coverage. AK needs to be rushing the passer 90 % of the time via stunts, loops, etc.

[Brando19]

Okay...lets say TT decides to trade Kampman for a player or two to help the team immediately. Who do you trade him for?
