[Mic’d Up] Calais Campbell & rookie Grey Zabel go off in a competitive and respectful banter

36 comments

1. I love grey already. Hope he’s a hawk for 10+ years

2. Zabel fist bumps himself in the end. Funny

3. Campbell tilted trying to yap at the rookie. Time to hang it up, OG.

4. I’m so pumped about Zabel and I love CC! 

5. I love how Abe comes in with the big brother energy, then realizes Zabel’s got it handled.

6. Zabel proceeded to absolutely own him on the line

7. This is a testament to the work Grey is putting in.

   If an unquestionable future hall of famer comes up and starts telling you how he almost killed you or beat you, that means he’s recognizing real.

   Campbell respects him to the point where he’s resorted to some light trash talk in order to beat him psychologically.

   Similar to how Kobe or Larry Bird wouldn’t even give you the time of day unless you gave them a decent competition to play in.

   Grass is green, the sky is blue, and hard workers are named Grey – he’s poised to become our franchise’s most valuable asset.

8. Night and day between now and their first matchup.

9. I fucking love everything about this.

10. Calais seemed a bit winded and frustrated

11. Didn’t understand a word Calais said.

12. Almost like Campbell likes the young man.

13. “You ain’t getting 116 on me”

    🤣🤣

14. I’ve always really like Calais Campbell

15. Grey might be our best draft pick for years.

16. I feel that self pound

17. I always kinda liked and respected Calais. Obviously a longtime great player. I can’t understand a lot of what he’s saying but I was a little disappointed to hear and see this. Glad Grey stood up for himself…I thought Campbell came across as kind of a bitter old dickhead to be honest.

18. I love to see stuff like this! Zabel is such a badass especially since he’s just a rookie too!

19. After all that, he left him hangin’. C’mon dawg😂. This is awesome tho!

20. Love this

21. Campbell was trying to trash talk him and instead the rookie Zabel ended up giving him pointers

22. This cuts off what happens next which is highlights of Grey absolutely dominating Calais lol

23. Calais Campbell needs to be studied. Dude is that fucking big, that strong, and has played in the trenches since like 1847. What a warrior.

24. Anyone who looks normal sized against Campbell is a massive human.

25. Two hall of famers?

    Life could be a dream.

26. Can we get a Zabel every draft please? I could get used to this

27. I didn’t realize how big CC was damn

28. I never thought I’d be this excited for a guard. Get is an absolute beast. What a draft class, again…John and team!

29. This is beyond cool asf! They should do more mic’d up sessions with our players.

30. I love competitive sportsmanlike banter like this

31. Calais out of breath.

32. Calais is a goddamned beast who is probably second only to Aaron Donald as to how much he tortured our O line and Russell specifically. Respect to the Rookie for holding his own in this, I’m bummed he didn’t get the fistbump.

33. This guy’s heel injury better be ancient history by sunday.

34. I like how Zabel asked for tips from the opposing vet and then started talking some shit back and brainstorming.  Kid isn’t nervous.  He’s learning and you’re his repetition.

    Learn from everyone and everything team culture.

35. This is great. I’ve always wished we’d sign CC all these years. Maybe he just didn’t want to play here. Idk. But I’m honestly glad to see him back. Hopefully he’s got that extra year to get the record they were discussing during the last game. I believe it was most games by a d-lineman?

36. I didn’t think I could like Zabel anymore than I already did. This kid is the best.

    Calais Campbell is so salty this was great. Truly poor sportsmanship shown by a veteran right here. Lost all respect from me
