Before You Judge Campbell....

[Zod]

The raiders played him at RG in 2010 and played him at RT in 2011. So really, he has one year pro experience at RT.

Seems like that could have contributed to his not catching on very quickly.

and it's the raiders

Remember also we tried Gross at RT his 2nd year. Remember how that went? Some guys take a little while to adjust to a position change.

Thomas Davis at Safety then LB didn't go too smoothly either IIRC

Didn't we flip flop Gross like 5 straight years?

03 right side to ease in as a rookie

04 left side as the future blind side protector

05 right side with Wharton starting at LT

06 Left side because Wharton tore an ACL, and then he ended up staying there

Am I remembering that right? Because if that's the case, we should give the guy a beer and a hug.

raiders have been terrible on the offensive line since 2007. do you point to players? coaching? drafting? is campbell a product of a poor system, or a poorly-scouted prospect who is keeping it poor?

given his measurables i'd bank on it being the former. no reason to think he can't come here and achieve a measure of success.

Edwards to wide receiver/punt returner.................

Could be...I know there were at least a couple of switches that never went well for Gross.

Charles Godfrey to Saftey.

Oh wait, people think that worked....

they have ran the ball pretty good in recent history. I think playcalling at times has been suspect setting the passing offense up for failure.

The guy was a beast in college at Maryland, and he's still young.

Charles Godfrey is a decent NFL safety who has suffered from poor defensive line play, cornerback play and the sudden regression of Sherrod Martin

Agreed...people that think the safety position is our problem are completely off. Its difficult to play safety when you have to play 10 yards off your mark because you know your corner is going to get beat after the QB has 10 seconds to throw the ball. That is why getting pressure is so important. It snowballs to the secondary when the DL sucks.

SS is fine. FS, on the other hand...hopefully Haruki is the real deal.
