My opinion won't be popular but I think Campbell gives them their toughness. He drives an environment where intensity and toughness are required, and he gets the most from that roster.
He is a bonehead on gameday quite often. But that team would not be as consistent as they are without him.
I would love to see them bounced in their first game though. I think that intensity they field, as always, can be muted with a steady mashing of run game. And I think our starting OL, if healthy, is capable of leaning on them.
