Thread: Packers FanFest: Kampman remains silent, but Capers expects successful transitio

GREEN BAY -- They don't come much more media-friendly than Aaron Kampman, which made the Green Bay Packers defensive end-turned-outside linebacker's decision to pull his name off the list of players available to reporters at this weekend's annual FanFest inside the Lambeau Field atrium all the more curious.

[size=10pt]Kampman’s Silence[/size]

Jason Wilde notes that Aaron Kampman’s decision to pull his name from the list of players available to the media over the weekend is a ‘head-scratcher’, since he is one of the most media-friendly players on the team.

I just listened to all 6 minutes and 34 seconds of Aaron Kampman's first interview since Green Bay moved him to linebacker in its new 3-4 defense. (Listen for yourself here.)

What can I say, he doesn't look to happy.

Although Packer nation is mostly in denial, there ought to be something worng. I think he'll turn around once Raji eats up Loadholt and he gets 3 sacks in the season opener.
;D

So BJ will be playing out of position (on RT instead of C) then?

I think that Pickett will start at NT with Raji playing DE at first. A bit like Ngata is doing. They'll be in a rotation and Raji will see time at NT, but I think that he'll be playing on he left side of our D-line (at first).

I have a feeling Kampman thinks he will not be good there. When is his contract up? Is it correct what I am seeing that he is a FA next year? Maybe he is unhappy cause it might hurt him for next year having a bad year.

Yes and yea. He seems very uncomfortable and pissed at the timing of it (his contract year). Maybe Greene is getting on his ass too.

Personally, I like Kampman a lot, and I think he'll do well as an edge guy. But he's understandably nervous about learning a new scheme, especially at this point in his career. I would think he's most concerned about dropping into coverage.

Why do people say Puker?

It sounds or looks nothing like Packer

As opposed to "Pucker" up?
