Patriots Player Departure FB Brock Lampe released

[jmt57]

I suppose this is not a surprise, based on the signing of Reggie Gilliam.

I thought of Brock Lampe as one of the top-three original UDFA signings a year ago (Lampe, Larison, Chism), before landing on IR.

Bummer.

Binkie HOF induction ceremony is upcoming, he’ll be enshrined by Nate “baby Gronk” Sudfeld and preseason stud Bam Childress.

Hey, Bam Childress just needed more time. This is more TJ Moe.

Maybe you’re right, but didn’t Moe blow out his achilles? At least Moe was athletically gifted, Lampe was a stiff.

The only reason people had a chubby for Lampe last offseason was McDaniels desire for a FB, some video of him blocking stiffs at Northern Illinois University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and of course… a PFF grade that said he was outstanding.

Ignore that he wasn’t strong, fast, mobile, explosive or athletic, ignore the lower level of competition all these highlight videos were showing….

Stick to athleticism, production and your own scouting. PFF grades are garbage.

His name alone is a reason to be released. We can't have terrible names on this roster like the late Manning and Luck's Colts.

I am a bit surprised at this release timing considering camp has just started. What if he is signed by another team and then Gilliam gets hurt a few days later? Now you are back to your FB being Jack Westover.

Then you won't get the player you wanted. I have exactly zero reason to believe that Lampe had a chance to be on our Practice Squad. If he did, he wouldn't have been cut.

To be expected after signing Gilliam.
