Bingo - every time I saw that #37 Westover come o nthe field I thought "Jordan Richards". He was useless.

And what were Lampe's results? Feel free to post them.. OH WAIT. You can't. Because he wasn't a Combine invite. You only have his Pro-Day numbers.

Here.. Let me help you out.

Bench - 22
Vertical - 34"
Broad - 9'04
3 Cone - 4.4
Shuttle - 7.43.


He didn't run the 40.

For reference purposes -
Develin -
Bench -39
Vertical - 28
Broad - 8'8
3-cone - 4.55
Shuttle - 7.25
40 - 5.03

Jakob Johnson -
Bench - DNP
Vertical - DNP
Broad - DNP
3-Cone - 4.51
Shuttle - 7.49
40 - 5.15

Vontae Leach
Bench - 21
Vertical - 31
Broad - 8'9"
3-Cone - 4.54
Shuttle - 7.56
40 - 4.87


The combine also doesn't predict how good a player will be. It just a series of tests. Vontae Leach was one of the better fullbacks in the NFL from 2006-2013. Not that facts matter to you.

Is Lampe your cousin or what?

Develin was 275 pounds and one of the strongest guys in his draft class. Lampe played 5 seconds and got hurt… so there’s that.

I expect this sort of foolishness out of the Negative nancy brigade. But I guess you've decided to join them.

Lampe is 244. I also put up other Comps. Including Vontae Leach. Who has worse scores than Lampe, yet had a very productive career.

Yes, Lampe suffered a major foot/ankle injury on the first day of full pads. If it hadn't happened, he was the favorite to be the lead blocker out of the backfield.

Former DE… his right thigh weighed as much as Lampe.

DaBruinz said:

More BS hyperbole from you.

Lampe weighed 244 at his Pro-Day. You're acting like he was 125lbs soaking wet. FFS. This is the sort of foolishness that I expect from the likes of Capt Stone.

Wozzy said:

Stop arguing over this stiff, it’s painful.

I remember when people had a hardon for Bam Childress and DJ Foster… made about as much sense.

The Pats don’t shell out good money for a starting FB if they think Lampe is the man.

Stop spewing foolishness and you won't have to worry about being called out on it and having facts thrown at you.

As is typical of someone losing an argument, you try and bring up things that have no bearing on the conversation.

Gilliam was signed as an upgrade over Westover. We'll see if Lampe gets cut or ends up on the PS or signing with another team..
