That's not at all what I'm doing.

All I'm saying is that if you put a gun to my head and told me I had to pick Okung or Campbell, I'd take Campbell, because I don't believe that Okung is the real deal, nor will he ever be.

Campbell at least has the potential to be.

If you were choosing RT for KC, would you pick Campbell, Davis, Bulaga or Williams?

Is that even a question?

I'm taking Williams.

Williams played very well at RT for OU, however when flipped to the other side I wouldn't even say he was an upgrade over Loadholt who has to play RT in the NFL.

That's your argument? More athletic? You're basing your opinions on LT prospect on their 40 yard dash times? Tackles? Really? I...

ah, **** it. You just don't get it.

I'm not talking about 40 yard dash time you dumb****.

You don't have to be athletic to be fast.

So, other than Trent Williams surprising 40 yard dash time at the combine, what has made you change your mind about him in terms of his "athleticism?"

Or Bruce Campbell?

Because I'm sure you watched all the Maryland games this season, right?

So, you are basically going off of 40 times from the combine in determining this new viewpoint on guys like Campbell and Williams, because that's all you got in terms of them being more "athletic" than Okung - their 40 times at the combine.

What the hell are you talking about?

I've never talked about Campbell or Williams athleticism before because it wasn't relevent.

This thread was specifically about Campbell.

I have been steadfast in my disdain for the idea of drafting a LT in the first round, but since this thread was specifically about Campbell I chimed in with my two cents, which is that I like him better as a prospect than Okung, and since I was talking about that, I followed up with another guy, Williams, that I also like better.

milkman · 03-03-2010, 11:39 AM

Upon further thought, I might have said something about liking Albert's athleticism over Trent Williams in another thread along the way, which in no way has any bearing on how I like Williams over Okung.

I saw 2 Maryland games this season, and I liked Campbell very much. In fact, I commented on that during both games I watched. I thought he was the best LT I had seen during the season. That being said, I hope Campbell plays for some other team in the NFL.

Bruce Campbell (sure looks like he's protecting Mark Castle)

My sister-in-law and her dad are from Baltimore and huge Terp fans. I was telling her about his combine and her dad said it was funny because in college Campbell wasn't that good and he thought he'd be a bust. Ouch. So much for pulling for your own players.

Yeah, Army of Darkness was awesome.

As far as "B" movies go, nothing beat the Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck.

I'd take Okung over Campbell because Campbell is going to get a bunch of money and stop caring...

Regardless of whether or not Okung is going to be an elite LT...you know he's going to, at the very least, go down swinging.
