Few teams have LEs as good as Kampman and it was clear that neither Wade nor Heyer could handle him on that day.
How many teams are we going to play this year that will break down our pass pro the way Kampman did? Speed rushers have done crap against us this year. They try to go around Samuels and he makes them look foolish. They get out of their lanes, and Campbell escapes.
We don't play Tennessee, we don't play Kansas City, we don't play Pittsburgh. Do you think NE is going to get a bunch of pressure against us? I doubt it. Campbell has to make it his job to not leave the pocket just because it helped against GB. Makes the throw longer and disrupts the timing of the routes.
Moss will rebound if he's healthy, no doubt about it.

Like I said, good teams catch the ball in crucial situations. Some of those balls were right in ARE and Moss' hands and they just didn't catch the ball. This has been going on all year. These are the guys that are getting paid alot of $. Plax. Burress doesn't practice all week and comes in and he is killing people.
Good teams make the adjustments and have someone stay in and help out on Kampman. I didn't see anyone helping Wade or Heyer. Why didn't we make an adjustment in that situation? If you have a rookie FA LT coming in to play RT on a top pass rusher who was killing Wade, common sense tells me Heyer might need a little help. Don't ya think? Send 4 guys out in the pattern and have a back stay in and help out. These are things our high priced coaching staff should have easily figured out.
Also all the confusion on the sidelines is just silly. How much more of this do we have to look at? We are always burning time outs in the 2nd half of games when we shouldn't be. Gibbs use to be the master at all this stuff and now he just doesn't do a damn thing. IMO Sanders needs to be on the sidelines calling the plays. I think that would help out a little bit.
