This is for all the so called experts on this forum and others that say that Kampman can't play in the 4-3


link 


Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers said the first player he spoke to after getting hired was Aaron Kampman, who will play outside linebacker in the Packers new 3-4 defense.

He came up to my office, said Capers, Aaron being as conscientious as he is. Kampman is moving from defensive end in the 4-3 to linebacker, and inquired about his ideal playing weight.

I told him dont get too hung up on the weight, said Capers. You know what weight you can move the best.

For me to sit here and say I want you at this weight is wrong. Kampmans playing weight last season was around 265 pounds.

Capers said he has no reservations about Kampman playing linebacker. We talked and I think Aarons excited about it and were excited about Aaron, said Capers.

I really don't want to see Kampman trying to cover anybody. That smells like disaster to me...and I would know, I smell disasters all the time.

Can he really do any worse then the LB's you saw in coverage last year for the Packers?

I think our LBs are quite capable of covering if their QB doesn't get 20 seconds in the pocket. Kampman, I don't know. Then again, I'm not convinced on him being a great rusher at the OLB position either.

I'm not a 'so-called expert', but I have seen him do alot of battling with the OTs and not alot of spin moves or something where he needed his speed for. That was what the guy on the other side was all about.

We'll see when the season starts.

Oh, and this posts seems somewhat negative, but I'm really in the middle on this one.

You guys remember that capers said its going to take 3 years to fully implement the 3-4; and 50-60% of the time kampman will play with his hand down (4-3 setup).

I'm a little nervous/anxious to see Kampman in coverage. I mean, it's something new, so of course I'm concerned that it won't work out as well as i'd hoped. but, i wish football season could just hurry up and get here already so i can stop wondering and start watching!

I think he will do fine. He's VERY athletic, and has played LB i believe in college. So he does know how it all works. And i think he's alot faster then most people think.
I think we are in for a pleasant surprise!

Well it is a good thing. Because the only way Kampman's weight is going to go is up. He weight is not going to go down anymore. And the bigger he would get, the slower he is going to get.

I actually see Kamp being close to the way it was the last couple games. Basically a DE that roves. He is going to be rushing basically all downs except on a rare drop into coverage.

I'm not worried about Kampman in coverage as long as he can sack the QB about 10 times this year and provide pressure. Plus I think most of the time he'll be going at the QB or dropping in the flats.

Kampman's biggest weakness is going to be teams trying to isolate him one on one in space. I would assume the Vikings will try and get Kampman in the flats with Adrian Peterson. That's what teams will do. GB will game plan around it obviously.
