Below??
For opposing TE's down the seam?
Anyone catch Campbell get de-cleated by the lacrosse player turned street WR pickup Chris Hogan?
After today's performance, fans wondering why such a stud like De'Vondre was cut loose after consecutive seasons in Atlanta and Arizona are likely wondering no more.
The pathetic play at ILB looks to be in full force and effect in 2021 for about the 11th straight season.
Good to know some things never change in these crazy times.
I think it was more of a pancake. He got roped.
All I know is TJ Hockenson on every lineup in my daily fantasy
I take that back. It was more of a Flyin' pancake.
The ILBs were pretty awful but in fairness to them the DL wasn’t good and King was terrible. Lots of suck to go around.
So you're saying the middle of the defense sucks ass? That's novel concept.
BTW, Campbell got decleated by a TE coming back to the line because he couldn't find anyone else to block.
Late offseason pickup De'Vondre Campbell doing it all for Packers
He's certainly exceeded the limited expectations I had for him.
Drayton said that ILB De'Vondre Campbell sits in on all of the team's special teams meetings even though he's not asked to. When Krys Barnes suffered a concussion, Campbell stepped in and covered his assignments on special teams despite playing every snap on defense.

So far he looks better than Kirksey. Here is the thing, that’s not a big accomplishment.
I would say he looks better than Martinez too. At least the way Martinez was used his last couple years in GB.
In thought this guy was another shit signing. Wasn’t that the mantra after the first game of the season??? I’m confused.
I didn't think Campbell looked too hot in the opener (but, then again, not many did), but it seems he is improving each week.
That's a trend I hope continues.
Appreciate him being ready and available for ST duty, too.
yeah, i don't think too many graded out well in week 1

A guy on a one year contract with his third team that spec'd out exactly as the last one year turd?
Skepticism was warranted. As previously stated, not exactly a high bar for ILB in Green Bay.
I am pleased he has broken the UDFA scrub barrier.

It’s OK to say the whole outfit fucking stunk

My point was that there was a lot of freaking out after the first game. Campbell, AR, the O-line, etc. without a real TC anymore, I think it will take a few weeks for most teams to show a truer identity. That’s the only point I’m trying to make. I get he’s bounced around. But maybe he’ll have that one “great” year in his career. Who knows.
Blake Martinez out for the year. it was a good choice not to resign him

Fans like Aaron Rodgers because he’s wondering why this guy was on the street.

Good choice not to resign him to the contract he got (3 years, 30 million). If he would have come back for 3-5 million a year, you'd take him.
Other than QBs and maybe offensive lineman, it's almost always better to let guys walk than pay them big money for their second contract (and especially their third in their late 20s).
The really difficult decision is going to be D. Adams. He's in a tier way beyond what Jennings, Driver, and Jordy were. He's in the prime-of-their-careers Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, and Randy Moss class right now (without the off-the-field drama of the latter 2), but he's also about to be 29 with a lot of concussion history.
After this week's games PFF has Campbell as the highest rated ILBer for the season.
Hope this guy had some good incentives in his contract.
De'Vondre Campbell has been nothing short of spectacular for the #Packers... @Came_Along_Way

Plays like this - reading keys, staying disciplined, under control. Such a reliable tackler but he's rarely fooled mentally... pic.twitter.com/xyB9xnBYfD
The guy is an F'in beast.
A smart, fast, aggressive ILB making a difference on defense?
POPPYCOCK I SAY!!
I remember that play jumping out at me. The guy was sent here on a moonbeam. He's not flashy either, doesn't really do any look-at-me stuff. Just does his job. Really well.
@PackLandVA posted:Someone's gonna pay the man next year.
Well that could be a problem for our cap. He's no spring chicken so hopefully he'll be affordable.
We've all been whining about getting a damn MLB in GB for years. I just can't believe a dude like Campbell was just sitting there without a job. Unreal.
Opportunity. Scheme fitting his skills. Being a bit hungry after some humbling roster moves.
All factors in him performing to the level he is.
Life is funny that way.
As much griping as everyone has done about the FO, they seem to know what they were doing when they went out and got Campbell... and Douglas... and Bojo... and Mercelius... and Cobb (Okay, so Cobb might have been forced on them, but they still did it.)... and drafted Stokes...
And these guys are playing lights-out for GB, making other guys sit up and take notice. Let's give credit where it's due, and to Rodgers for forcing their hand.
