Re: Good for Campbell
Campbell has handled the situation in Washington with a lot of grace, but he bristles when he hears critics talk about how he didn't throw the ball downfield enough in '09. In fact, I happened to catch him on the phone last month after he'd heard SI.com's Peter King criticizing him on a local radio station in Washington.
"I don't know how anyone can say something like that," said Campbell on Thursday. "Don't you think I wanted to throw the ball downfield? By the time I looked up, I was getting hit. I'm certainly hoping we have an opportunity to make some big plays next season."
He said more during his Monday interiews with Lavar and Dukes last season as well. If it's a case that you don't want to take that then cool, I'll give that to you. I know what I heard from him, as far as his subpar play. If you need anything for that I can lead you to the game highlights. But you never noticed it before so you probably wouldn't when I point them out. But I just finished looking at some game highlights from '08 and he's worse than I thought. He's a starter but he won't take you anywhere.
