Things to come from Campbell

[CR91]

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s going to be fun watching him. I suspect we won’t see Rogers in the slot that often. They already plan on using DF there and Campbell is going to be hard to keep off the field. I think his speed caught Kelly off guard on that one pass he under threw.

[Fisticuffs111]

Parris made a great play here. But from a QB standpoint, this was the one throw tonight where I couldn't help but wonder, "can Brissett make that throw with the same mix of touch and velocity?"

At the same time, I think Brissett would've put up a much better deep ball to Campbell than the pass from Kelly that got intercepted.

 

[DerekDiggler]

Very nice that will be a great asset to JB.   That kid is fast

You need to get into the mindset that this is what Campbell does.    He’s young he’s not a stretch the field guy yet.   

 

Hes is a GREAT slot receiver 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

TY, Parris, and Cain. We are so fast.  That doesn’t even include Hines. I am going to be interested to see how many passes Hines gets this year. Then add the big body of DF. Holy crap.

Oh, I'm not talking down on Campbell one bit. I'm just talking about QB play.

I think he could've easily had a TD on that INT had he gotten a much better ball.

I think that miss had more to do with timing. Campbell is so fast I don’t think Kelly expected that. It will take a little for JB and Parris to get that chemistry going on deeper balls.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s amazing how just getting Cain back and adding DF and Campbell has upgraded this WR group 200%.

Yeah, I think you're right about Kelly underestimating Campbell on that one. Kelly looked disappointed in himself.

In regards to Brissett, I'm very confident in his ability to deliver on those kinds of throws. He just seems to have really good instincts on the deep ball. At the very least, he rarely ever underthrows it.

Brissett  would have hit that deep throw. Hilton, funchess,  cain, and campbell on the field at once. That will be tough to defend 

[GoColts8818]

Man him in the slot with TY, Cain, Devin, Doyle, Ebron, and Hines out of the backfield...

 

If Brissett fails it won’t be from lack of weapons.  That can’t be said about him in 2017 when he pretty much just had TY and Doyle.  That’s one of the reasons I expect Brissett to be better.  He has better players around him.

 

However, this isn’t about Brissett it’s about Campbell and I think based on just tonight there is a large reason to be excited about him.

[Stephen]

Campbell  gets in and out of breaks like Wes welker. Has the body of Reggie  Wayne and the speed of Marvin  Harrison.

I think Rogers will only see the field for PR. We plan on using DF In the slot too. Cain will earn that spot beside TY. We have a lot of guys we need to get the ball to.

I'd go five wide in the redzone. No way could they defend Ebron, funchess, cain, cambell, and Hilton

No but they can overload blitz and get to Brissett before he can get it off to one of those guys.  That’s why teams don’t do that all the time and keep a back in there to keep the other team honest.

[LockeDown]

JBs strength is the long ball and we have super fast receivers. Why not throw the long ball?

They could try but if done right he could get ball to wr before  they get there.

Kelly just underthrew the ball that time if he had put it to the back pylon its a touchdown.

Plus Ebron and Doyle, we’ve got some weapons at Wr and Te finally.

Remember, Campbell was playing against practice squad player so last night means nothing.

 

Isn't that supposed to be the defacto statement when people ooh and ahh over a player in preseason?

[lollygagger8]

Campbell got them wheels! I'd like to see him put two arms around that ball though. 

 

That was a sweet side arm throw by Kelly as well.

Yep, he’s Caesar Rayford 2.0

[pgt_rob]

I'm thinking he's the best pick of the draft. I can just see young greatness from him oozing out already. Can't wait to watch him play more!

I am talking about the regular season. Most people think he should throw quick short passes to be safe but why not do what he’s good at.

I've seen other posters make similar remarks about Brissett. 

 

How did Jack Doyle catch 80 passes in 2017 and go to the pro-bowl if Brissett throws a shorter pass that is hard to catch?

 

I'm not trying to start an argument, I just don't understand where this comes from.

 

Are there examples of Brissett throwing a ball that is too hot to handle? .... Help me!

Someone feel free to chime in, but I’m not sure Brissett fits F. Reich’s offense. So, letting JB do what he’s good at may not maximize the Colts offensive potential.

JB will have to show a bit more touch on the ball that we saw in 2017

 

He has a good, powerful arm. That is clear.

 

He also is reported to have good leadership skills (needed for NFL QBs)

 

He limits his interceptions..... (Probably better than Andrew)

 

He has some wheels, when needed, and is tough as nails

(the guy kept getting up when the OL was a allowing EVERYONE into the backfield)

 

You have to root for this guy..... he seems to be a good team first kinda guy

 

However

 

There are some things that might be of concern

 

1) Relatively slow release

2) Intermediate pass accuracy/proper velocity

3) To me, the defense reads, if first choice is covered doesnt seem quick

 

These are from 2017, and maybe he has improved with practice time

 

Give the kid a chance to show what he has...... I think he will do better than most think he can

 

If we start 0-6, I will be one of the people wanting to see what Kelly can do though

 

Back to OP

 

I am EXCITED to see Campbell play

 

Ohio State, by design, spread the ball around.

 

If he is healthy, he is a STRONG candidate for the all rookie team.

  Thanks for the reallity Egg. A lot of clueless going on here.
 Brissett should be expected to have as good or better touch in the short to medium range game than the dearly departed. 
Gee whizz, it may take 6 games to get there, but i don't expect us to go 1-5 while getting there.

Yeah, as the guy who egg was quoting., I'm not hating on JB by any means. Was only pointing out one area where I think Kelly might be better/an area where Brissett has struggled. But yeah, Brissett's the guy this year.

It comes from 15 games of watching him play. There are numerous examples of Brissett throwing balls without proper touch.

Looks like an exciting big play player. Would like to see him be a bit more fundamentally sound carrying that's ball in his right hand while running to his right.

Sorry, but did you watch him in 2017?  He has no touch on RB pass in the flat and screens, he throws too high and hard which is why Marlon Mack had so much trouble catching passes with him.  Do you remember the pass he threw Andrew that nearly got him killed?!!

You do realize that was 2017 and basically his rookie season. He had no coaching and a bad team. You don’t think he could of improved.

Do you know that he improved? He didn't really show it in preseason (with limited snaps).

I trust Frank Reich. This is also a kid in his second season in this offense. Not thrown into it like he was in 2017.

Oh, i am not saying that Chad should start (unless Jacoby is stuggling), just defending the touch comment above.
