I think Gibbs was perhaps a little too protective of him. I don't think we'll see the same from Zorn though.

Officially though, I don't think it made a big difference.
He would have been just as successful if they opened it up, more INT's balanced out by higher YPA.
I think they were conservative due to the injuries more than anything. When you have injuries, you absolutely have to play it more conservative. The thought process was that if they could get a healthy team going into the playoffs, Campbell might be able to shine there.
As it was, he didn't make it that far. Thank you Jason Fabini.
