Bruce Campbell Happy To Be A Tackle Again


Recommended Posts

Only time will tell but if he has to learn from someone, there is no one better to learn from than Gross.

Matt Kalil (Ryan' brother) attributes Jordan as the reason that he's been so dominant in Vikings camp thus far stating that he has asked Ryan to hook him up with Jordan so that he can get tips on how to stop Jared Allen in camp, and so far the young Kalil is doing a great job.

It seems like Gross is quite a good teacher.

I thought he was a first rounder

There was a lot of talk among the "draft analysts" that Oakland would take him in the 1st based on his measurables and their need for an OT. After the pick, Oakland was lauded for patiently waiting until the 4th to get their guy. That draft was spoken of as an unusually good draft for Oakland, taking the good football players first (Rolando McClain) and the good athletes later (Campbell).

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
