I'm surprised WillH hasn't jumped all over this one yet. He's been saying since day one that Campbell is a perfect red zone machine.

If you watch Campbell, he gets in the zone down near the goal line. He'll run outside the pocket, look around and just squeeze it right in to his full back or tight end.

Thanks for the shout out.

Yeah I have been saying this. I remember during the off season when the JC highlight videos came out I noticed this. He is awesome at it, I've never seen a qb play like him at the goal line. He can hit receivers from the pocket if they get open on their initial move, but any qb can do that. Its when he rolls out towards the sideline that he is untouchable. He buys time...buys time...and then BAM a receiver makes a new cut, and he hits them where only they can catch it. It is uncanny! I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of his TD's and 2pt Conversions thus far have come on plays just like that. His TD run this past week shows he has the ability to run it in too, if the option is there. That will only make him more effective in that scenario.

Should we pass more on the goal line?

Hell Yeah! If you mean pass more then we do, but I wouldn't say we should pass more then we run. I will say that on the infamous 3rd and 4th down runs by Betts that were stuffed in NY I was upset they didn't pass the ball. JC has shown time and time again that he can punch it in there. Why not give him the chance?
