If we block with seven or eight and send one guy on a post, he's going to have two guys on him every time. But in a five step drop, we can probably pick our spots and get one on ones. Then Campbell can take the shot if he has the time, or check it down if he doesn't.

If we max protect, we're gambling that we will catch them in a blitz. If we don't, then throwing it deep is just wasting the down, and risking the INT.

Campbell has proven he's at least smart enough to throw the ball away. He's a great decision maker, he just needs the time to follow through with his decisions. Last year's crazy split showed he's solid when protected.
