Could there be a position BATTLE between the Patriots last two 1st round picks, Will Campbell and Caleb Lomu??
Is Campbell safe at LT? Where do you believe Lomu will get most of the playing time this year? Will he?
Transcript
00:00Yes. So this argument that Mike Vrabel is going to be unwilling to move Will Campbell because he's so invested
00:11in him as the pick seems ridiculous to me, but there was a group of people who actually feel like
00:18that is what is going to be the outcome.
00:19I would say I would agree definitely for this year. There's no way that they are moving Will Campbell to
00:27God. You're not wasting the fourth overall pick on a guy that you eventually have to move to God. This
00:33year, he is safe. If he plays extremely poorly, then there's going to be a conversation, I think, where they
00:44go,
00:44do we move him to God, you know, the following season or do we move him to right tackle when
00:52maybe Moses retires? And then we move the, is it Lomo?
00:56Yeah. Lomo. Yes. Lomo. We've corrected you on that multiple times. Lomo. Lomo, whatever. Do we move Lomo? No, Lomo.
01:05Lomo. Lomo.
01:05The thing about Greg's favorite restaurant. It's like Salt Alamacchia. Do they move him to left tackle? Because it's nothing
01:13like Salt Alamacchia.
01:14Yeah, wait. How is it like that? No, because everybody used to butcher his name. Oh. Yeah. Well, that's where
01:20the argument comes from because they went and drafted him. Right. And that's his natural spot. But I, but I
01:27don't like, I don't, they're going to do, Mike Vrabel's going to do what is best for the football team
01:32when it comes to winning. I don't care.
01:33Yeah, but there's no way they move him. You just said if he plays, if he plays poorly. So let's
01:38say that he starts off. It looks like he did in the Superbowl. For how many games? However many, like
01:45six games, like you think he lasts the whole, yes, whole entire season. Oh yeah. Yeah. Even if he looks
01:50poorly. Yeah. Yeah. Even if it's through the first 10, 12, four. Yeah. They're not moving him. I think their
01:55conversation becomes after the season.
01:58Do we give him one more chance or is he just can't handle the position that becomes a real conversation
02:05for them after the season? I think they do everything in their power this season. Even if he's, you know,
02:12looks like he looked in the, in the playoffs through the first four or five, six, seven games, because there's,
02:18you don't want to pull the plug on a guy that you drafted that high at the position,
02:23the cornerstone position on the offensive line and go, all right, it's one and done. Go ahead. Oh, sorry. Just
02:29wouldn't the crafts love it though?
02:31If Lomu played his way into the starting left tackle position and then Campbell kicked inside and they get to
02:39wait another year before having to pay up a contract for starting left tackle.
02:44Yeah. They will just, it'll just push it back.
02:46And they give Campbell guard money and they were like, all right, well, Lomu, once you come up, then they
02:50can stagger it out away from Drake's contract.
02:52But I don't think Mike Vrabel is going to want to give up on this. Like I just, and I
02:57also, I don't know, Wiggs, I was going to ask how much of an offensive lineman is it between the
03:02ears or is it all physical?
03:03Because the way that he ended the year, the way he didn't answer questions, the way he sort of, the
03:07Will Campbell, which was nasty and it was this persona and then post-injury was different.
03:13How do you think that impacts his play?
03:15It's all mental. It's all mental because everybody goes to the physical limitations, especially the other short arms. I don't
03:21want to hear that.
03:23Listen, one of our darest friends that we have on the show all the time is Matt Light and he's
03:27one of the best offensive tackles that we've seen play, you know, in the NFL during his time.
03:32And as a Patriot, so, and he had short arms and he wasn't the biggest guy. It's about what's upstairs.
03:39It's about understanding, learning the little tricks and the trades of the game, the little technique, things that are going
03:44to help you win when you don't have those long arms.
03:47That's all it's about. It has nothing with his physical limits.
03:50Rude. He's probably listening right now. He's saying he has short arms.
03:54Well, he does.
03:55Rude.
03:55But it doesn't matter. You know who else they said has short arms? And they say he's going to be
04:00the defensive rookie of the year.
04:02There is Ruben Bain. It has nothing to do with that. I've seen that happen all the time where guys'
04:08measurables don't look at Julian Edelman.
04:10I mean, it's not about the measurables. It's about from the neck up.
04:14And that's what made Brady so great. Brady, does Brady have the best physical tools?
04:19Second week in a row, Curtis had short arms when the tab came last night. I'll tell you that much.
04:24Oh, man.
