Success Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 While a few of our division rivals are having a wave-your-arms, "look at me!" kind of offseason, Beane is quietly adding impact players and depth to an already great team. Gotta love it. How the turntables, and all that. 3

Fallsnative01 Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 I made (quickly, so forgive its imperfection) a Bills Forrest "leg" Lamp. Complete with Zubaz stripes. 3 9 2 2
Bangarang Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 All jokes aside, I liked Lamp coming out of college. Thought he would be a good pro. 2 2 1
GunnerBill Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 1 minute ago, Pete said: any info on his abilities and expectations? 37th pick overall He was a really smooth mover in college. Played mainly tackle as I recall at Western Kentucky but lacks a bit of arm length that was always seen as a drawback to play tackle at the NFL level and he was seen as a guard or even possibly a center (similar to our own Mitch Morse who was a mobile college tackle who lacked NFL length). Better pass blocker than run blocker, really good feet, good adjuster when a rusher lands the first blow, and a really polished technician who doesn't get grabby. What he is not is a guy you can line up and pound the ball behind which is not the Bills game anyway.
BuffaloRebound Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Why do these vet minimum guys with a fair amount of NFL playing time keep signing here? Beane basically returned his entire 53 man roster that went 13-3. There’s gotta be other teams where they’d have a better shot at making the roster.

And there are reasons he hasn't been. Injuries and then when finally healthy last year stuck in an offense that really did not play to his strengths. The injuries may have taken their toll he may not still be the player he was but this is a no risk deal for the Bills. If he retains his old ability in a more suitable scheme and fully healthy he could have a role to play.

Bills are trying to hit gold with these offensive lineman. I wish they used the same approach to the DL. Jordan Phillips worked well. Edited April 7, 2021 by Buffalo_Stampede

As the cliche goes, the best ability is availability. That said, a low risk/high reward move by Beane.
John from Riverside Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 I completely forgot Lamp was out there.....a quality player I seriously think we are taking a corner at 30.....Beane is filling the OL up full of veterans 4 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Spencer Long and Brian Winters.

I realize Winters was trash....but Spencer Long was actually pretty good and showed it every time the bills put him on the field 2 1

Our oline depth is very very solid. Please Lord keep them all healthy. I think we're looking at a DB in Round 1. We're probably drafting 2 or 3 DBs honestly and I'd be good with it. 2 DLs. Throw in another o linemen, a WR, and I'm good.
Yawning Frog Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 He may even shine some light on are o-line situation. 1 2
