Boy was it nice to see Kampman back with his hands in the dirt. And his production was pretty good as a result(well maybe). Even seeing him spread wide in a 4 point stance. He was getting a big push on the blockers today. Even though he was held a couple times he still had a sack, and another that ended up as Jenkins first career INT.

Good to see that Capers has registered here and is taking out suggestions to heart.

Here's the thing -- Kampman's primary sack production has come on third down (Nickel D) situations. I don't recall the stat exactly, but I think it's something like all but three of his sacks the last three years have come from sub-packages (passing defenses).

It was indeed nice to see Kampy put his hand in the dirt a few times today, and again from memory, I believe the instances were on 3rd down.

I think one way to increase the heat on defense is to put Kampy as a DE on passing plays and have a LB like Matthews/Poppinga/Chillar/etc. bring heat from the same side to maximize the pressure. The first big pressure he caused was with rushing only three.

Point of this whole point is to re-emphasize that Kampy's lack of production up to this point isn't a mystery. He gets most of his sacks in passing situations anyway. Hope the Packers keep finding ways to utilize his strengths.

wait what? capers is registered here?

He also looked better rushing from an upright position today too. Maybe getting him some confidence will help him out all around regardless of how he lines up. That said, Capers please keep using him with his hand down every so often just to mix it up and use Kamp's best skills.

---

He made a difference today as did the defense in general. I certainly think the Packers need to work with him as an OLB yet, but no problem with him putting his hand on the ground in the nickel. It was finally nice to see the team make an adjustment.

It was night and day comparison in Kampman speed getting into the backfield coming from the down position to the up.. didn't let the blocker get squared up.

He is hoping that they continue to let him rock out of the 3 or 4 point stance..

BTW.. anyone notice that the 'great' Merriman rushed the pass out of the down stance with a great percentage last night..

Note to Capers. Now that you have Kamp with his hands in the dirt. You can set up a more hidden blitz. When offenses see Kampman with his hands down, you better believe they are going to be playing him for the rush. This is the time you drop him into coverage and blitz Hawk or Barnett.

+1.. Capers loves him some zone blitz.. well done old chap.

---

lol!

Hell Yeah! When I saw Kampman having his hands in the dirt, I was just shocked. On that play Kampman put a great amount of pressure on Daunte. Glad to see him back where he belongs. Hope they keep him more often than they usually have. And Clay Mathews is becoming a beast now (just threw that in there).
