He spoke he spoke..

Packers OLB Aaron Kampman spoke to reporters for the first time this offseason Wednesday, but did nothing to dispel rumors that he's upset with his position change or contract status.
Asked if he'd rather still be a 4-3 end than an outside 'backer, Kampman replied "I'm not at liberty to make those choices." He also answered, "Yes I am. Have to," when asked if he's putting in extra study of the playbook. We can't say this is a huge issue because Kampman is attending workouts.

Boy that just seems like he is still pissed off. The yes i am, have to is a downer on it all. Or he can't make the choice comment.

Sounds to me like he's not happy but it would have been nice to see a video to see his facial expressions or the full story.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

From the OTA Breakdown on JSOnline

Green Bay -- Aaron Kampman spoke for the first time since the Packers fired their defensive coaching staff, hired Dom Capers as the defensive coordinator and made the switch to the 3-4.

It was plainly obvious that Kampman just isn't ready to get philisophical about the move. Kampman was extremely cautious with his words.

"Just focusing on football," said Kampman. "You know, this is a transition and I just want to focus on it."

Kampman just wasn't going to get in to it much during a 7-minute conversation with about 30-plus reporters surrounding his locker. He repeated many of the same phrases:

"Historically, the 3-4 has been a sound defense," and "it's a new scheme, so I'm learning it. I'm not saying I don't like it, I'm saying I'm learning it," and "new techniques, new terminology. All in all it's learning the new system."

Asked if he was hesistant to play in the new scheme, he said no, that was "something the media has talked about."

Having covered Kampman since his rookie year since 2002, I must say it was the first awkward exchange I can recall with him being questioned about the defense, and this is a guy who has gone through a ton of different defensive coordinators.

Without the benefit of getting feedback from the assistant coaches, my observation was that Kampman really struggled at times today in this 3-4. Though head coach Mike McCarthy had nothing but praise for Kampman after practice, I saw No. 74 frequently meet a wall of blocking by Allen Barbre. Kampman even fell to his knee once trying to bull rush Barbre. Another time, Kampman went inside and was shut down by Barbre, cut outside and was met by equal resistance. All Kampman could do was pull away from the blocking and chase scrambling Aaron Roders down the sideline seconds later.

Of course, one practice is just a snapshot of the work that has been going on now for a week and a half, so I asked Kampman if this is kind of how he's been playing every day. Typically, Kampman was honest.

"There's always a learning curve," said Kampman. "Today there were some things that I would have liked to have back, but that's the learning curve."

When Kampman broke up a pass play from Rodgers by dropping back in to coverage, assistant coach Kevin Greene seemed to jump three feet in the air in celebration. "Aaron Kampman's performance so far has been very positive," said McCarthy. "I think he has really fit in very well. I think he attacked the new defense just like you think Aaron would."

But it is clear this is a transition for Kampman that hasn't been paint-by-numbers easy.

Who has his specific contract information.

Does he have performance incentives that perhaps he feels he will not be able to reach in the new system?

If so... Ted please adjust the incentive aspect of the contract.

Heres a link to video.

To me he seems a lot more pissed to be getting the same 3 questions from reporters fishing for a story, than anything related to actually playing in the 3-4.

Seeing the video, he had a lot of short one sentence answers. When asked if he liked the change he refused to say he liked it. Plus his body language gave me an impression he wasn't too happy about it. IMO this all points he isn't too happy with the change. I'm not saying he is outraged or anything, it means that he is kinda upset.

Nice find earthquake, First off who the hell was the player that was hamming it up behind Aaron lol, he sure wanted to stay in the view of the camera.
After watching the video i don't see the excitement you would expect from a player talking about something new. That has me worried.

Looking at that video, it's pretty obvious that something's wrong. I know that you guys like to believe that all is good and well, but repeating the same answer three times...

It doesn't even necessarily have to have something to do with him switching to OLB. Maybe it's his advice or request being ignored. Maybe he's annoyed by the media. Maybe it's the fact that, like reported, he currently can't even get around Barbre (consistently). I don't know, but it's obvious that he's not to happy at this moment. Although he does seem to open up a little more towards the end of the movie.

Thompson is a lot more muscular than I thought, btw. (That is Thompson in the background, right?)

That's the guy I am worried about Hazer.

First of all it looks like he was putting on a "Sports Bra"

Then he was using "Spray On Deodorant" (Chicks use that.)

And thirdly... He only put the deoderant on his left arm pit, not both?

That's not good.
