"While there might be understandable reasons for that, it would be quite a shift for Mike Vrabel to make such a move, and it would have to be worth it because there would be no going back if Campbell didn't succeed. That was, of course, one of the first questions asked of the head coach when he spoke to reporters for the first time since the Super Bowl on Tuesday afternoon, and Vrabel couldn't have been more emphatic with his response."
"With so much discourse surrounding the current state and potential future of Campbell on the offensive line, Vrabel made sure to end any and all debate about what the team plans to do with him at left tackle, which doesn't include moving him to guard. Mike Vrabel says Will Campbell is the Patriots left tackle "We're not moving him to guard or center.""
"At the same time, there's good reason to believe that Campbell's struggles can be fixed, as most have pointed to his technique being the biggest concern. If that can be dealt with during the offseason, they will be in better hands next year. The conversation about his arm length will inevitably continue, especially after his performance last Sunday, and maybe it will"
Will Campbell, the Patriots' rookie left tackle, faced heavy criticism for his struggles during the Super Bowl loss to the Seahawks. Debate escalated to whether the team erred by selecting him fourth overall and whether he should move to left guard. Making such a switch would be a significant, irreversible change that would require careful consideration. Head coach Mike Vrabel emphatically confirmed that Campbell will remain the starting left tackle and will not be moved to guard or center. Coaching staff believe technique issues can be corrected in the offseason, though concerns about Campbell's arm length will persist.
