In the past, people have tried to take swipes at Jason Campbell's leadership skills and his ability to bring a team together. Now, during this wacky offseason, with the lockout trumping all else, Campbell is doing his part to unify the Raiders in his second year with the team. Campbell, along with veteran defensive lineman Richard Seymour, has organized a week of offseason training for the Raiders, bringing his teammates together for workouts, drills and offseason bonding. Much was made of Jets West, the Southern California camp organized by Mark Sanchez, so think of this as Raiders South, with Campbell and Seymour assembling teammates in the Atlanta area beginning next Monday. "We've got a chance to be really good," Campbell told me. "But the timing of this lockout is really tough. Hue is a first-time head coach, and we brought Al Saunders over, and we all really want to work together, but we can't do it right now. So we've got to make the best of it and get our teammates together and try to do the work ourselves." Campbell anticipates 25 to 30 players participating, with camp running next Monday through Friday. "We could have had more," he noted, "but the problem is we have something like 25 guys who are free agents, and a lot of them don't know if they're gonna be restricted or unrestricted, and those guys don't want to risk anything, and it sounds like they'll just chill."

Glad to see Campbell showing the leadership. Still don't know if he will be the long-term answer at qb, but seeing this gives me hope for this season.
It's good to see him showing the leadership and it seems like the other players have been buying into him...
