Calais Campbell met with the South Florida media Tuesday and said that a major reason that he came to Miami was to win a Super Bowl. He liked the roster that Chris Grier and Brandon Shore have put together and believes in this coaching staff. He is ready for a return to February football, and play in the Super Bowl that has eluded him since his rookie year in Arizona.
“That’s a big reason why I signed here, because I feel like there’s a really good opportunity here. Very talented team all over the field, both offense and defense. When you go through the roster of who you have and see so many people that I feel like we can play together and build that team chemistry you need – we’ll be a force to be reckoned with.”
Campbell played in the Super Bowl in his rookie season with the Cardinals, but his team lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers and would love nothing more than to get back to the Super Bowl, with the Dolphins, and bring home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
“I haven’t had a chance to play in that big game since my rookie year. “And coming to a team like this, I feel like there’s opportunity there. Obviously, everybody feels like they have an opportunity to hoist the Lombardi Trophy right now. I mean, all 32 teams are competing with the mindset that they can be the team. And it’s hard, right?”
He also said that he wanted to play for defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who will implement a defense similar to that in which Campbell played under when he played for Weaver in Baltimore for two seasons before joining the Atlanta Falcons last season.
” I really like the coaching staff. I mean, (Defensive Coordinator) Anthony Weaver is a guy I’m very familiar with, (have) a lot of respect for, and he’s a big reason I really believe in this team. I know the kind of work ethic he has and just the kind of man he is, and I really think this defense is going to be a top – I don’t want to go too crazy, but it’s going to be a really good defense.””
