I wanted to post a few bits of information on Lingard and Campbell from last nights game. DP came from behind to win 24-21. I must say that the figures and numbers and performance that I describe is second hand information from a close friend that attneded the game. As I have stated previously his son will be playing OL for DP over the next few years. Please do not come back with any negativity as I am sharing information that was told to me. Also I am a Canes fan to the core and want all our player to acheive greatness. I have been hyping up Lingard for a while to my friend so take that into consideration as well when reading the comments.
Lingard- 24 carries 80 yards and 2 TD's. He did not have any long runs on the night. He did bang one in from the goal line. At first notice he seems smaller than his reported size. He is listed on 247 as 6'1'' 190 but I was told he is not even 6' tall and weighs 175 tops. My friend was talking to a Texas Tech recruiter who was on the field pre-game (there to see twin LB's for DP) and he said Lingard is very fast and explosive but has to get to 190lb at the next level to be effective. Lingard's OL was erratic as he had some 4 and 5 yard carries but also lost yards on some plays as well. Overall you get the feeling that Lingard could bust one at any time but he relies more on speed and quickness than power. My firend did notice Lingard and Campbell shaking hands before the game which is cool.
Campbell- Had a dominant night with his opposition for the most part. He did have an offsides penalty and a false start. He did give up one bad sack but overall played a very solid game and stuck out on the offensive line for DP. He was matched up against guys that were smaller and faster than him but he did well for the most part. They did not run much behind him in the first half but did so in the second half when they came back to win. DP was getting good chuncks of yards when they ran to his side.
Overall we have two solid players committed that should be able to help us over the next few yesrs. Peace out.
