Patriots Player Departure FB Brock Lampe released

[PancakeBlockPaul]

This makes me wonder if our wonderful new true FB will be used as much as we think he will be this year. Maybe they’re thinking that with his low workload, his chances of season ending injury won’t really hurt as much since the plan may be to not fully unleash Josh’s FB plan…this year…then next year if he does very good at that low workload, he will warrant a true backup….

Just a thought…

Or maybe our FB truly is a tough sob….

FB’s can be replaced by other positions in spots. Elandon Robert’s in the past, Tonga last year. But Josh insists upon the FB position.

The presence of a fullback makes run fakes more credible, pulling linebackers toward the line of scrimmage and opening voids in the intermediate passing game. This allows receivers to find open space between the numbers, a hallmark of Earnhardt-Perkins' route concepts.

He wasn’t good using two TE sets and having a TE come inside and play FB or even relying on wham blocks from TE’s in motion. This is why Jonnu Smith was misused here. Hopefully Drake has worked on his checkdown game, Josh stresses it and Gilliam gets incorporated in the passing attack.

I think Josh is pretty old fashioned and in danger of the league passing him by. He needs a superior QB mind on the field to run his old fashioned predictable offense and make it look good. It would beholve him to spread the ball around and use everyone… stop being so predictable. He should watch some old Charlie Weis film. Some old school concepts never get old and are timeless.
