Move along, says Dan Campbell. Nothing to see here. Two days after Jahmyr Gibbs posted a photo on Instagram from inside the Lions' facility that showed some of the team's play calls on a whiteboard in the background, Campbell put the matter -- the non-matter -- to bed.
"I know what it is, but I’m like, you know what, we might as well just put everything out there. I don’t really give a crap. I mean, if we’re gonna lose because of code words, then we’re not good enough anyway. So, I think we’ll just post the whole freaking playbook out there and every code word we’ve got. It doesn’t matter. It’s not gonna hurt us, it won’t affect us. It’s all good," Campbell said Tuesday on 97.1 The Ticket.
As noted, there's not a lot of secret to what any team is doing on offense or defense 13 weeks into the season.
"No, there’s not," Campbell said. "It’s all out there and you can find any and everything that you need on the tape, and how to attack people, how they’re going to attack you. Listen, I’m not losing sleep over that.
"Now, do I want us posting stuff up from our locker room or our players or whoever? No, I don’t, because you don’t know what’s going to happen with something like that. But no, in the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal."
Some outside observers went so far as to wonder if Gibbs would face any discipline from the team for exposing what appeared to be proprietary info.
"Yes, because he got on social media, I’m not going to play him anymore," Campbell joked. "We’re fine. As a matter of fact, I joked at him about it yesterday, I messed with him, so it’s good. I’m not even worried about it."
