rolltoomer 0 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Let me see if I understand the post: If you take the longest plays and put them in descending order, Campbell has 6 of the top 25? Further, Cox's longest pass was shorter than any of those 25 listed, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniels made a "Lynn Swann" grab and went 90-yards for a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,106 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 then he went pro and didn't get drafted... too bad. i'll always remember him fondly. for some reason, i keep a lot of respect for the guys who poured out their hearts while we played bad ball. guys like gabe gross, who clearly was a baseball player and didn't have to take the beating he took in 98. was he good? not at all. do i think he represents auburn as much as any guy on the 04 team? yes i do. so cheers to the grosses and the daniels, and two cheers to the whiteheads and whites and leards for going through the bad times and helping bring us back.

vatz22au 142 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Don't know how many times I heard Campbell only threw the "short" ball yet he leads AU's list for longest plays. Amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaDE'05 8 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I wonder how many of Campbell's were off of "hard counts" seems like I remember a couple. I love that Borges tries to do that every now and then. It's such a low-risk play call. If they jump, throw the deep ball, if they intercept, take the penalty. If they dont' jump, check off. Simple as that. I know that play picked us up some pretty good chunks of yardage in '04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing 253492[/snapback] We still don't know until Stat sheds light on it. If JC threw a 5 yd slant then Ben took it 70 yds, it's not quite the same as hitting Ben while running a post.

A WR catch and run for 30 yards is different than pass for 30 yards. Total yardage is the same, but they arrived at the total in two completely different ways.

otterinbham 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Well, I would also offer that there's a different reason: Al Borges' offensive game plan, whhch uses far more of the playing field than previous coordinators. However, Stattiger, thanks for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the way Campbell played his last year, but he never hit the long ball consistently. The receivers were always having to adjust. Had he led the receivers the majority of the time, his numbers would have been HUGE. Example, check out the pass to MIX on the media page. He was three steps behind the defender and had to slow down one step to get the ball. Then he got tackled. NOt that there are many QBs who do this consistently, but Campbell was not in that category. Tis a beautiful thing to see a QB hit a receiver in full stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
