Mike McCarthy has said he feels the 3-4 will help Kampman because the defense can disguise better when he's rushing the passer, and where he's coming from.

Capers probably won't be asking Kampman to drop into coverage much at about 265 pounds. Capers compares him to Lamar Lathon and Tony Brackens, bigger men who played outside linebacker for him in Carolina and Jacksonville, respectively.

Dom Capers: Kampman's position switch might not be as drastic as it seems, given the fact he generally will go back to being a traditional defensive end when the Packers deviate from their base defense with a "sub" package with extra defensive backs.

If I were an NFL player, I wouldn't want to talk to the media either. I am too honest. Nothing good would come from me talking to the media.

Has anyone considered the possibility that Kampman is being tight-lipped precisely because he doesn't want to give away information to opposing coaches? Football, like poker, is a game of small edges, and every little bit counts. Kampman has never played this position before, so the less other teams know, the harder will be to scheme against him. If they assume that his responsibilities will have changed drastically and it turns that they haven't changed much at all -- or it's unpredictable when he'll be playing a particular role -- other teams will be caught flat footed, making Kampman even more effective.

Which, incidentally, is just what McCarthy has predicted.

93 keeps mentioning the contract, but we'd be giving it to Kampy next year anyway.
