[QUOTE="TJV, post: 539743, member: 4300"] IMO it was Kampman who didn't give the position switch time. At the time I was disappointed in Kampman’s attitude regarding the switch to the 3-4 D when Capers arrived. I didn’t think he gave the change his best effort. Andrew Brandt, who spent 10 years working in the Packers front office, wrote this for the National Football Post, “Kampman never took to the new 3-4 defense of Packers coordinator Dom Capers, and his relationship with a team and a defense where he had been a leader on and off the field took a downward turn. Previously an eternally positive force in the locker room, Kampman’s position switch robbed him of enthusiasm as he took an indifferent approach to the position change that did not sit well with the Packer coaches. Simply, after eight years with the Packers, it’s time for Kampman to make a change.” [url]http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Aaron-Kampman-is-a-wanted-man.html[/url] Until 2009 I had nothing but respect for Kampman, both on and off the field, and if the switch to OLB hadn’t worked out after he gave it 100% effort and he then went to another team, my respect for him would have been intact. But IMO that’s not what happened. This is a different issue than drafting DEs and turning them into 3-4 OLBs as Kampman was already on the team. I think Kampman is a bad example - just a historical footnote worth noting IMO. [/QUOTE]
