You can watch it. He got destroyed. The only mild positive in his favor is the turnovers weren't forced by his man.

He’s a top 5 pick at left tackle. He will always be scrutinized and rightfully so.

You don’t pick someone top 5 unless they can start right away. No excuses, he sucked.

How many quarterback pressures did he allow before he had the knee injury?

he singling out of Campbell in the SB is wild. The guy had a bad game. So did the other 4. I've never seen the media hyperfixate on a player's performance (apart from QB) more in my life.


I know that the little bit of the game I watched, on one play he jumped offsides then got put flat on his back by the Seahawks’ DT. Same kind of shite I saw happen in LSU games.

The media was running with this as a storyline before the game so when he got bullrushed he got called out. The first play he got bullrushed the QB completed the pass for a FD but he got pushed back into the QB...

The first sack was on the LG to the inside. Will was engaged one on one with his guy but he got tagged on "left side" is weak comment.

I keep seeing he gave up "pressures" but not sacks. That is a safety statistic equivalent of a "near miss" where something happened but nobody was actually hurt.

Tell me how many sacks he gave up or blocks whiffed. In the SB he allowed one sack.

From Patriots media
quote:

After struggling for most of the playoffs, Campbell continued to have issues in the Super Bowl, allowing three pressures, including a sack on 37 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. The performance also brought Campbell’s totals to 14 pressures and four sacks over the Patriots’ four-game postseason run.


Now contrast that with this excerpt from the same Patriots media after game #7
quote:

Will Campbell Has Already Exceeded Expectations

Rookie left tackles often struggle adjusting to the heightened level of talent in the NFL. So far, this hasn’t been the case for Campbell, who’s managed to hold his own against some of the best pass rushers the league has to offer. Campbell has allowed just two sacks and ten hurries in 270 drop-backs.

His 68.3 Pro Football Focus grade ranks 30th out of 77 tackles, whereas his 73.4 pass blocking grade ranks 23rd. Although these aren’t elite-level numbers, it is impressive given he’s gone up against some of the best pass rushers in the league: Maxx Crosby, Bradley Chubb, T.J. Watt, and Joey Bosa.

What's really funny is i have no idea who was lined up against him? You'd think theyd give them props.

Will glaringly stood out as the worst person on an O line that had a historically bad night.

He was BAD.

Sorry that upsets you but facts are facts.

Only person in this groups with 10 sacks this season was Crosby.

Do you not understand how pressure affects a qb/passing game?

It was a bad performance. But that doesn’t excuse Drake Maye from air mailing wide open receivers no less than 8 times

His side of the line struggled mightily. Though we root for Will its ok to say he had a bad game.

Maybe give a call to another former tiger LT from north Louisiana Andrew Whitworth for some tips on getting better at LT. He should know he was one of the best for many years in the NFL.

He had a rough game. It’s ok to admit. Let’s see how he responds next year

The guy played with a torn meniscus. I had a small tear in the meniscus in my right knee, and it is a problem. I chose not to have surgery, and at times my knee would lock. From time to time I still have some issues with it.

It was a bad performance but it wasn’t just this week. He missed a significant amount of time due to injury and hasn’t played well since he came back. Maybe he came back too soon. He is also playing next to another rookie lineman. At LSU he could get by on talent alone. Now he has to develop technique that he should have started developing in college. A familiar theme for our offensive line over the last several years.

The upside is this can improve him a lot. He turned 22 a few weeks ago. He has plenty of time to get better. I have no doubt he will do whatever he can to improve.

I thought the same. Watched every pass pro down, and didn’t think it was as bad as everyone is saying. Some really bad plays… yes, but the criticism seems overblown. It wasn’t bade enough to have an article about him specifically on the front page of espn.

Thought the game against the Texans was way worse
