It was an up-and-down NFL debut for New England Patriots fourth-overall pick Will Campbell in what would eventually turn into a 20-13 season opener loss vs. the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n

Despite starting off the motions of the first half in this one relatively well, rolling into the break leading 10-7, it would soon be a performance that unraveled into a turbulent one for Campbell.<\/p>\n

During the second half, Campbell would not only be called for two major false start penalties but also allowed two sacks by his defender, one of which came during a turning point of the game in the fourth quarter, where Drake Maye would end up strip-sacked for a loss of eight yards.<\/p>\n

After the game, though, Campbell would take sole responsibility for those lapses in the trenches, notably on that second sack from Malcolm Koonce that led to a gut punch for this offense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just gotta block him. It\u2019s nobody else other than me,\u201d Campbell said following the loss, via MassLive’s Chris Mason. \u201cI\u2019ve gotta get better. We\u2019ll watch the tape, learn from it, and fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell also took note of the penalty issues he faced, having one critical false start with less than five minutes on the game clock that took the Patriots from 4th-and-5 to 4th-and-10, a killer towards any momentum New England had to muster a comeback.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just gotta be better,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI can\u2019t jump. I\u2019ve gotta key into the snap count. I take full responsibility. I\u2019ve gotta fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell have some considerable credit to the defense for the way they played, but also made sure to note that he and the offense would be grinding in the film room to see how things could improve heading into Week 2, and help out the other end of the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you just look over what we could have done better,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cA standpoint from up front, what I could have done better and what we could have done better collectively as an offense \u2014 because our defense played their *** off and we\u2019ve just gotta help them out. So that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do. We\u2019ve gotta get in the film room and just find ways to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell and the Patriots will have a few days to unpack the events of this one before they hit the road for their upcoming divisional bout vs. the Miami Dolphins for next Sunday, looking to rebound from a 0-1 start to the year.<\/p>\n
