I ain't gettin my panties in a wad like Mike Florio but Campbell should've shown us more. I think he's settled into that no risk taking mindset, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but makes him wanna play safe more often than not. He needs to play with more urgency. He used to have a plausible excuse because the o-line was failing him but now that the o-line actually resembles something competent enough to give him time he needs to start playing more decisively. Also I think the playcalling needs to factor into this with more risk and reward type plays because tossing a ball 1 yard to Kelly when it's 3rd and 10 ain't cutting it. If it's 3rd and 10 I feel like most routes should be at least going 10 yards or 8 at the minimum, I don't know why I saw Malcolm Kelly running a 1 yard route on that 3rd and 10.

Again it's just preseason and I know the dink and dunk offense can be successfull but not if it's dink and dunk to the point where we can't even get the necessary yards to get a first down. I know they did a good job driving down the field after the fake punt but after that drive (which stalled at the goal line) they weren't doing anything on offense until Daniels came in in the third quarter.
