Dan Campbell Gives Hilarious Answer To Alex Anzalone Availability Question
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is known for his candidness, but he really brought the humor when discussing linebacker Alex Anzalone’s availability for Sunday night’s crucial matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Dan Campbell Jokes About Alex Anzalone
While speaking with Jim Costa and Jon Jansen on 97.1 The Ticket, Dan Campbell was asked about what obstacles Alex Anzalone needed to overcome to be ready for the game. His response? Classic Campbell.
“He’s got to be able to do a handstand,” Campbell joked. “He’s got to be able to do a handstand press-up. And then really a version of a jumping jack on his hands.”
Campbell’s hilarious and over-the-top answer was a light-hearted moment amidst the seriousness of Week 18 preparations. But in true Campbell fashion, the answer wasn’t totally far from the truth. The tough linebacker, who’s been recovering from a forearm injury, certainly has a shot to play on Sunday, but you can bet Campbell and the Lions staff will not rush things.
Bottom Line
Alex Anzalone, who was a crucial piece of the Lions’ defense before getting injured, might just need a little more than a handstand and a jumping jack to suit up for the biggest game of the season. But who knows? With Campbell’s mentality, maybe he’s onto something!
Regardless of the handstand antics, the Lions will be hoping Anzalone can make it back on the field to help them secure the NFC North and the No. 1 seed.
