Unlike most Miami players, the knocks on Campbell aren’t about his motor or effort, they’re about his lack of fast-twitch explosion. He plays more like Aaron Kampman than a startling pass rusher. Now, his Combine numbers look sweet, and he had a sick double-digit sack season in 2006, but those two things actually have less to do with each other than one would think.
Campbell should be a hard worker for the Cards, and like Merling, he’ll do the dirty work of a 3-4 DE while also being a threat to hit the QB if you don’t account for him. This seems like a much better fit to me than a 4-3 scheme. Campbell helps the Cards immediately and should develop into a capable starter in the future.
