The Tale of Perriman and Campanaro

When the names Breshad Perriman and Michael Campanaro are mentioned most Ravens fans will roll their eyes. They are frustrated. We could form a company and call it Frustrated Incorporated.

The No. 1 pick from 2015 has had only 1 day of training camp practice in 2 seasons with the team while the other teases, flashing skills momentarily, only to head off to IR perpetually – or so it seems.

The frustration leads to knee jerk reactions.

“Bust”

“Soft”

“Just cut ‘em loose!”

To name a few…

Imagine the frustrations of the coaches.

They’ve seen the effortless acceleration of Perriman that allows him to glide by defenders. They’ve seen him high-point the ball. They’ve heard the praises from teammates. Heck I’ve seen and heard it.

The coaches watch Campanaro tear it up one day in practice only to tear through adhesive tape and ice packs the next two. His is a unique skill set – one that complements the speed of Mike Wallace and Chris Moore and the grit and toughness of Steve Smith, Sr. and Kamar Aiken.

The Ravens are so close to having a very, very good wide receiver corps IF they can get and stay healthy.

The team remains patient while trying to mask the frustration that boils just beneath the surface.

Perriman and Campanaro are loaded with ability but one of the missing abilities is availability.

Lured in by the possibilities, frustrated by the lack of availability, the coaching staff – the entire organization really, sits on the fence and waits. Intoxicated with potential, frightened by the prospect of letting each go, they wait. We all wait.

And at this point there’s really little else to do. You don’t cut loose a first round pick and Campanaro’s contract is such that cutting him loose makes little sense.

So sit back, keep your hands inside the cart and enjoy the ride.

It might get bumpy.
