I fully admit, I was totally wrong about the Campbell addition. I was confused why we were spending so much money on a guy who had never achieved double digit sacks in a season. Well, he made me eat my words and I love it. Apparently, he was tailor-made for our defensive scheme. I would absolutely love to see him do a repeat of last year's season. Having him, opposite Ngakoue is an unbeatable combination.

Me too.

I guessed a few things about him.

1.  He would add veteran leadership.  Though I was right about it, I underestimated that impact.

2.  I figured given his size and him playing as a 3-4 DE, he wouldn't provide much of a pass rush.  Boy was I wrong about that.

3.  Dovetailing into 2, I figured with his age, he wouldn't provide much of a pass rush.  Boy was I wrong about that.

I would also say I didn't realize how big of a threat he was inside and outside.

I am glad the Jaguars signed him.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
