Game Summaries

Week 1 at DEN - Jason Campbell did his job, which was to not turn the ball over and ensure the win. He did uncork a nice deep ball to Darrius Heyward-Bey, who couldn't reel it in in-bounds. Campbell gave up a fumble on a sack early to set up the Broncos deep in Raiders territory, but the defense held Denver to a field goal. Campbell took what the defense gave him when he attempted passes, and never pressed the issues, often choosing to just throw the ball away. He did notch two TDs, both cheapies. One QB sneak after Darren McFadden ran it to the one, and one short pass to fullback Marcel Reece after McFadden marched the team down a short field after a tipped punt. He is pedestrian for fantasy, but holding down his job by playing it safe.

Week 2 at BUF - After a slow start, Campbell wound up having a very efficient game as he threw for more than 300 yards, was not sacked, and accounted for three touchdowns. The only blemish on the day for him really was an interception that came on a Hail Mary pass on the last play of the game, which was almost converted for a touchdown. Despite playing without his top three receivers and starting TE, Campbell still had one of his best days as a Raider. The offensive line gave him good protection in the pocket and he remained calm in the pocket whenever the Bills were able to generate some pressure. The highlight of the game came on a beautifully thrown 50-yard touchdown pass to rookie WR Denarius Moore who went up and brought it down despite tight coverage from a corner and safety. While the Bills defense may not rank among the league's best, it was still an impressive performance on the road and possibly a sign of better things to come when he gets some better weapons around him.

Week 3 vs NYJ - Jason Campbell had a quiet day as the Jets' secondary was able to contain his receivers and allow only the occasional big play in the passing game. Campbell also felt pressure, though he was only sacked once. He was only really asked to manage the game and didn't do more than that, getting the ball to his receivers 66% of the time. He was accurate, didn't turn the ball over and with Darren McFadden torching the Jets' defense, nothing more was required of him. It was a pretty vanilla game where nothing much stood out--bad or good--in his effort.

Week 4 vs NE - What an up and down day for Campbell on Sunday. He made several nice throws and found a red zone/go-to guy in TE Kevin Boss. This gives Campbell a similar style player as Cowboys TE Jason Whitten. Boss may not be the same caliber as Whitten but could be heavily involved in this offense in Oakland. But the two INT's Campbell threw were both on the New England side of the field. The first one was at the goal line, where he was trying to throw the ball away and did not see S Patrick Chung, who was wearing a cast on his hand, and was still able to intercept it. This was a huge play and turned the momentum to the New England side, which stayed with them until the end of the game. The second INT was not much better as Campbell threw a dump off pass to McFadden and did not see DT Vince Wilfork (all 350+ pounds of him). The good news for this game is that Campbell looked a bit more comfortable back there and was able to reach 300 yards passing. With this game a lot of the problems on offense were the erratic plays by the young WR core. Campbell will also need to cut down on those careless interceptions as they were the difference in the game today.

Week 5 at HOU - Jason Campbell is in the same offensive system for consecutive seasons for the first time in his career and it clearly shows. He is firmly in command of the offense and has both the confidence and the ability to throw the ball all over the field. Most impressively, Campbell is able to throw out routes to his receivers at a variety of distances. These routes allow players like Jacoby Ford, Denarious Moore, and Derrius Heyward-Bey to catch the ball in space facing single coverage. On one play, Heyward-Bey was lined up in single-coverage outside to the left. Campbell quickly recognized the advantage Heyward-Bey had with the defender playing off of him and threw him a quick out off of a three step drop. Heyward-Bey was able to the break the defender's arm tackle and raced up the sideline for a 34 yard score. Outside of the deep-out, Campbell threw a lot of quick slant and drag routes across the middle in an attempt to get the Texans defense to stop cheating against the run. Campbell's best play came on a touchdown to Chaz Schilens. On the play, Campbell was under heavy pressure, scrambled up the middle and just when it appeared he might scramble for a modest gain, he softly tossed the ball to Schilens who was able to turn up field for an 18 yard touchdown. Campbell's interception came on a deep ball out of his own endzone that was intended for Jacoby Ford but was overthrown.

Week 6 vs CLE - Although Oakland got a huge win in memory of the late Al Davis they may be in serious trouble because it looks like Campbell could be sidelined for the season with a collarbone injury.  The injury occurred in the second quarter on a 3rd & long play where he had nothing open so Campbell tucked the ball and tried to dive for the first down but was tackled hard right by LB Scott Fujita before he hit the ground. Campbell immediately clutched his collarbone. After watching Boller play you start to have much more appreciation for what Campbell brings to the table as Campbell can utilize the speed of his wider receivers and keep the defense honest. Campbell's injury is horrible news for the Raiders as he was doing a good job of facilitating the offense.
