Rich Eisen’s Advice for Patriots OT Will Campbell after New England’s Super Bowl LX Loss

38 comments

1. Hot take after watching all of the film. I could only find eight in one of them was directly caused by Jared Wilson throwing Will’s man off of him. I think Jared Wilson had the far worse game if you ask me.

2. His answer about why he didn’t talk yesterday is amazingly mature for somebody that young. Hats off to him.

3. Rich eisen is a good dude

4. I'll take that guy on my team any day..

5. I’m a Pat’s fan, but it was obvious within 20 minutes that Seattle was the better team – faster, stronger and more talented. Say what you will about Campbell’s performance during or after the game,but it wouldn’t have mattered.

6. One of the greatest champions of our time once said, you can't truly be a champion or a winner until you learn how to lose

7. He's got a $43,000,000 fully guranteed contract. I don't feel bad for him at all.

8. Keep him at LT!!! Did a great job on Sunday!!

9. Good for you, Will Campbell. It's history, let it go and learn from it. Old saying, better to be thought a fool than speak and prove it. Best to hold your tongue and get better.

10. this is his Bill Buckner moment!!

11. this dude was drafted 4th overall??? Bust City!

12. I'm a Patriots fan living in Seattle. It's so weird living in the city that just best your team. I mean, you can't begrudge Seahawks fans for celebrating their team and Sam Darnold's redemption is a great story. As a Patriots fan, I will never not take an opportunity to sh*t on the Jets. They nearly ruined Darnold's career. It make you wonder how many of their other quarterbacks could have been great if they had been drafted by a better organization.

13. If you close your eyes he sounds like Mathew McConaghy. And by the way I didn't understand the Pats game plan, especially no adjustments at half time. Maybe worst Super Bowl ever, at least since the 1986 drubbing of the Bears over the Pats.

14. Out of 32 LT in the NFL, He ranks 11th.. don’t listen to the crazy Boston Press… this is their MO… Led by Tommie C

15. Geez, the kid, Campbell just turned 22. He obviously has talent and I believe that Vrabel will tap into that. He's an enormous young man. Maybe move him to center? Signed a 35-year Bills fan. Also, I can't believe how the media is ripping Drake Maye. Have they learned anything about doing that when Sam Darnold was with four other football teams? Oh yeah, the last 2 years Sam goes 28 and 6, throws for 8,400 yards and 60 touchdowns- number one in the entire NFL, and now has a Super Bowl ring!

16. Mr Smith was wise to wait a day. Even if it was technically wrong in keeping his distance, he knew his failure and like Clint Eastwood said……………" a man needs to know his limitations."

17. Imagine playing so bad rich eisen sending you a message 😂

18. I’m a Pats fan. If one person can be an Achilles heal for an entire team, then the team wasn’t good enough. Good teams are able to absorb a bad day by one player. The Seahawks were just the better team on Sunday. Lots of room for improvement, though. They are a young team with the coaches that can teach. They will be back even better in the fall.

19. People still going with this 14 pressures number that isnt correct? Gotcha 👍

20. Incels with a lot of money get a surgery that extends their calves and makes them 1-2 inches taller. Maybe he could have that done on his arms.

21. Rich, thanks for explaining this rationally. Local Boston media are even tearing him a new one and it is ridiculous. No one is saying he played well, but to judge him after his first season, coming off of a torn ligament, and going against a murderer's row of pass rushers in the playoffs, I don't get it.

22. Right after game if you don't want to talk and care so much and emotional don't care if he don't talk .fine him

23. Will campbell sucked! If i were him i wouldn't show my face again in new england

24. Hes still a tackle that has short arms and gets blown up on the snap.

25. Gotta get in the weight room. If he can bench 315 twenty times right now he needs to be able to bench that 30 times by the end of summer.

26. Of course u have the kid gloves for him what's new.

27. He could work in an airport, by being a turnstyle. I felt bad for him the whole game. It had to be hell. Then get taxed by commifornia so hard, you might not break even?

28. 22 years old. He's young, he has a lot to offer. I can't imagine starting your rookie year and being thrust into the biggest game of the year. no one expected Patriots in the Super Bowl. What a way to start your first year. I'm confident that he will return an improved player. I still think he was playing injured but who could blame him for wanting to get back on the field for the playoffs? He's 22!

29. How about learn how to install dry wall because he couldn’t block a phone booth

30. Where was the running game? McDaniels called 13 runs the whole game. Pathetic. No heavy sets or jumbo packages. McDaniels is a bum

31. I totally agree with most of these comments that we need to be patient with Will Campbell. He was fine until he got hurt and he really wasn't ready to come back as early as he did. He's a rookie at a very difficult position and he was hurt against the best defense in the NFL, what do you expect??? We all need to see what his ceiling is and right now, none have a clue. Let's be patient and find Out!

32. He's Not going to get better,, move him to WR

33. Will's not the starting QB, if he didn't want to talk to the media after the game, I've got no problem with it. His explanation was sincere and understandable. He's going to get better, those grown men on the other side of the line weren't going to let some rookie stop them from doing their jobs. Let's see how he does next season, he's young and has a great support system, the Patriots will figure out a way to make it work.

34. He made it to the Super Bowl his rookie year as a STARTER! I think he had a great season! We only expected them to win 9 or 10 games this year and they won 17!

35. Will Campbell is good. Now he is really motivated. Let's see what happens.

36. A 22 year old's body is not developed to the same extent as someone 4-5 years older. Give him another season or two to develop and condition.

37. Will campbell redemption arc is coming

38. Explaining why its so bad and it will be difficult to process for will makes it even harder to process for him….lol he will be good
