Brandon Parker vs. Calais Campbell

Calais Campbell is a rare player in the NFL, as he ages he continues to play and get better. On the season he’s played over 640 total snaps with 420 pass rushing. He’s had 59 total pressures with six sacks, but where he excels is simply putting pressure on the quarterback.

With 38 hurries on the season, he’s been a player that has beaten tackles left and right; it also helps he’s 6’8″ and 300 pounds. If Brandon Parker starts against him, I expect a big game from Campbell.

It’s hopeful, however, Trent Brown will play since he was in Friday’s practice which usually means he’ll be playing. If Brown does play, this goes from a liability play to a strength play, as Brown has been great in pass protection this season. If Parker plays, I expect a lot of off-tackle runs towards Kolton Miller or up the middle towards the weak linebackers the Jags have.
