Dan Campbell: “I don’t really give a fuck” about Jahmyr Gibbs’ leaked protection calls

Lions head coach Dan Campbell was informed at the podium over the weekend that running back Jahmyr Gibbs had posted a photo from the team facility on social media that showed some of Detroit’s protective calls on a board.

In a radio interview with 97.1 The Ticket on Monday, Campbell downplayed the issue and said he wasn’t worried about it.

I really don’t give a shit” said Campbell via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “If we lose because of code words, we’re not good enough anyway. So I think we’ll just release the whole damn playbook and every code word we have. And it doesn’t matter. It won’t hurt us, it won’t affect us and it’s all good.”

Campbell noted that these words are used during games and opponents can pick them up from the television copy of the game film.

“I mean, you guys at home are getting more than us until after the game,” Campbell said. “I’m telling you, it’s crazy. Listen, it’s all out there and you can find everything you need on the tape and how to attack people, how they’re going to attack you, and no, listen, I’m not losing sleep over this.

“Now, do I want us to post things from our locker room or our players or whatever? No, I don’t know because you don’t know what will happen with something like that. But no, in the grand scheme of things it’s not a big deal.”

Campbell added that he and Gibbs are doing well.

“In fact, I joked with him about it yesterday,” Campbell said. “I messed with him, so it’s good. I’m not even worried about it.”

Gibbs ran for 973 yards with 10 touchdowns and caught 28 passes for 282 yards with one touchdown in 2024.
