00:00Andrew, you came in hot. Hello.
00:02Yeah, he's upset. What were you just doing?
00:04You were in the other room with your computer. What were you doing?
00:06I was re-watching film of the Super Bowl.
00:07This was specifically Will Campbell for the third time in the last 36 hours.
00:12We'll have the full film breakdown up tomorrow.
00:14All 22? What are you looking at?
00:15All 22. This is the last snap.
00:17Does that look good? No, it does not.
00:20Let me see. Let me see. Turn that around.
00:22I mean, it's just a screen at the end of the game when you're down, you know, 16 in the
00:26Super Bowl.
00:27John, it's not pretty.
00:29But look, like I said, I'm going to write about this tomorrow.
00:32I can't wait to write about it, though, because there's so much misinformation about the Will Campbell conversation or misunderstanding
00:40that I think just has to be cleared up.
00:42Number one, the fact he had a torn ligament is not new.
00:46That's what a grade 3 MCL sprain is.
00:50Oh, thank you. Yes.
00:51So Burt Breer reported this two months ago.
00:53Yes.
00:53When we knew it was an MCL sprain, grade 3, we knew it was a tear.
00:56So that stuff, I think, has been rephrased because he's the one who said it.
01:01It doesn't change what the reality was for a guy who was not the injury report, practicing in full, said
01:05before the AFC Championship game, he felt like himself.
01:08This injury does not, in my mind, factor whatsoever into the Super Bowl.
01:11Number two, that said, and I was not a Will Campbell guy necessarily pre-draft, not at four.
01:18Number four, the 14 pressures that NextGenStats posted is utter nonsense.
01:23I have eight.
01:25Pro Football Focus has eight.
01:26I've watched this three times.
01:27You cannot even get to ten with a generous look into this.
01:30Now, eight is bad.
01:32Like, this is not, hey, all right, you cut it in half down to, oh, my God, this is still
01:36horrendous.
01:37But what that did is often happens on social is it sets a narrative that you can't get away from,
01:42but in this case, is absolutely absurd.
01:45Number three, the Will Campbell conversation is really important.
01:48It's important because he's part of the future of the franchise.
01:51And if he can't play left tackle full-time in the NFL, which I'm not remotely there yet, that's obviously
01:56a huge issue.
01:56But if we're concerned about the future, there are two people in my mind that are going to give me
02:01more pause and worry than Will Campbell does for next season.
02:04Number one is Morgan Moses, who gave up as many sacks and nearly as many pressures in that same Super
02:09Bowl, will be 35, worse than he was this year, where Will Campbell will improve as a second-year player
02:14in the NFL.
02:15Number two is Doug Marone, their offensive line coach, who, when you read and listen to Mitch Schwartz, an all
02:22-pro, a Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs, and guys like Teron Armstead, who went to five Pro Bowls, who
02:27are watching this tape and posting.
02:28We're aware because of Jonathan.
02:29Jonathan wanted to feel better.
02:30So they tell you these are fixable issues.
02:33And, look, those are things I needed pointed out to me by guys who know better about offensive line.
02:38But when you start to look and see for yourself, the fact that sometimes Will will not anchor when he's
02:43making contact.
02:44Like, you even think if you were in a bar fight backing up and trying to make contact with someone,
02:49what happens when they're the one coming forward at you and you're the one going backwards?
02:52You'll probably continue to go backwards.
02:54You need to set your feet in the ground.
02:56Number two is there were two protection schemes in this game that Seattle abused from start to finish.
03:03So whether it's the technical stuff about the timing of punches and the footwork that Doug Marone and his two
03:08assistant offensive line coaches are not fixing, or the fact that Seattle knew by formation in front how to get
03:15to Drake May with all these free runners, that shouldn't have happened in the fourth quarter the way that it
03:19was in the first quarter.
03:20But it did, and those lack of adjustments and technical problems are a much bigger issue to me than a
03:2622-year-old left tackle who had a horrible game, but two weeks earlier in the AFC Championship game gave
03:31up two pressures when he was finally healthy.
