Re: Jason "Red Zone" Campbell
Don't think it's a fluke at all. For one, I think Campbell has a distinct advantage in passing situations at the goal line because of his height. I really think it helps him places his ball well. (see Cooley's TDs this year) I might also add, you're less likely to see zone coverages down close and more man to man. Again, Campbell is one of the best at placing balls where they should be.
Secondly, his poise and pass first attitude serves him well. He allows things to unfold by being patient. I think this more than any other aspect will become a staple of his passing game.
Should we be passing more in the Red Zone - you betcha. For some reason, our rush offense seems to be ineffective down close. But as far as Jason, this is a trend. Even going back to his first start against Tampa Bay last year. It was Tampa Bay wasn't it?
