Patriots Injury News UDFA rookie FB Brock Lampe placed on IR

[DoubleDeluxe]

Dippre is taller, heavier, faster and stronger (32 bench vs 22) than Lampe. But I don't know if he has that FB mentality - takes a special sort of person.

I read a few days ago Dippre could be a FB option, even before the Lampe injury

 

[jdlboot14]

Sorta a waste of position in today's NFL though. It'd make a lot more sense to have a H-TE serve that role (they had Westover line up there 2nd half of practice I heard)
Or use a LB (like Gibbens?)
Or best bet is have a guy like Strange provide versatility as FB. He's super athletic, moves well, and likely won't be starting at LG. But could serve 2 purposes. I bet he could catch and run like Develin

What’s Elandon Roberts up to these days??

Can Lampe agree to an inury settlement and come back to someone's Practice Squad?

CBS mentions that in their blurb about Lampe. Yes, apparently he can.

There is no such thing as foxboro flu

Correct. Turns out that most of those draft picks just flat-out Sucked.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Well now we know. Wasn’t Jaheim Bell trying out FB?

I'll be SHOCKED if he makes the team.

SHOCKED

But what made Lampe possibly so intriguing is/was his pass-catching ability. Add that to his lead-blocking & occasional ball-carrying, and that's a combination that none of the players mentioned above would've been able to match. He might've had a chance to become our own, scaled-down version of Kyle Juszczyk, or what I thought Michigan's Ben Mason could've become out of the 2021 draft...

 

[Water Boy]

That sucks! There was definitely a roster spot on the team for him. We could have kept 2 TEs plus Lampe on the 53 and called up a 3rd TE for given game plans or in case of injury.

Bell isn’t a lead blocker, he’s an H-Back, which they really don’t need because they already have 4 backs that are good receivers out of the backfield.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I’m hoping Jackson Dawes or Willie Lampkin gets cut, then sign one of them.

 

[Salsalife]

Nooooooo! Dam 2nd day of pads. What happened?? You alright. Nobody talking about it?

 

[Ross12]

Yeah his build and playstyle doesn’t seem like it would lend itself to the position.

Hello, Dalton.

Dalton Keene. Remember him? H back from Va Tech.

Wrong, Pilgrim.

If one or both the top TEs can’t play, gotta have fall back options.

Hunter Henry is the Drake Security Blanket. Without him, Maye will force throws, take off running, and look to dump off to TreVeyon Henderson in the flats or on a wheel route.

But that’ll get old fast.

There must be some good young FBs out there. It's an underdrafted position.
