Former Patriot David Andrews Believes Lomu Will Push Campbell For Starting Role

[Triumph]

Will Campbell Shut out Bonito in Denver. No tackles no sacks.

Half the game was on snow.

Opening the season vs Seattle could not have been a worse test for Campblell.

I dont want to hear anymore about his bum knee.

I’d say it’s the best test possible.

The quality of a test is its ability to measure, so a hard test is a good test.

We will know after week 1 whether Lomu is our LTOF.

Agreed.

I disagree here. 1 game will not determine whether Campbell continues to be the LT.

The best thing I see coming out of this is the sense of urgency it's going to create for the camps and preseason. Every returning player is going to remember the ass kicking the Seahawks put on the Patriots in the Super Bowl, and they are going to know just how ready they will need to be to handle the Seahawks in their own house in the opener, as well as what the month of September is going to mean for season hopes.

We can only hope Lomu is a better LT, because then we can move Campbell to LG and upgrade two positions. Only Campbell himself, Eliot Wolf and apologists would be upset.

I personally would keep Campbell at tackle until proven otherwise. I think he would be a fabulous RT.

I'm sure Eliot Wolf " apologists" would be happy you are giving him all the credit for the 25' draft.

Yep. I think the idea of moving him to guard and weakening the tackle position is stupid. They have 2 talented young tackles, keep them both at tackle. It means you don't have to go back to the well at tackle again next year.
