Bills Host TE Kendall Blanton for Visit (Was on SB Winning Rams & Chiefs)

[Warriorspikes51]

Looking to make it 3 in a row?!

[BringBackFergy]

So Kincaid and Knox to the practice squad.  Ugh! Bean doesn't know what he's doing.

Monster size for a TE. Rams to Buffalo pipeline is becoming a thing these days, too.

[Low Positive]

We trying to run 03 personnel?

We can keep that going and help them win the Caleb Williams sweepstakes by taking Cooper Kupp off their hands for next year's 3rd pick.

Only if they throw in Donald, make it a 5th and agree to pay all salary.

[KDIGGZ]

Blocking TE. Lee Smith no longer available!

[Logic]

Thinking they want a usable tight end on the practice squad.

To look a little more deeply, perhaps they're aware that blocking is not the strong suit of any of the three tight ends on their roster, and want to have one who IS a blocking specialist, should they feel the need to call him up for a particular week to execute a certain gameplan. Perhaps we'd see a week where Quintin Morris is inactive but Blanton gets called up, and they use him as an extra blocker in the run and/or pass game.

[Warcodered]

Looking at a Morris or a Gilliam replacement?

[DJB]

FINALLY we found ourselves a middle linebacker

[Rocky Landing]

Could he be our new Lee Smith?

[Brand J]

I said earlier the Bills could use at least one TE who’s a blocking specialist versus just using an extra lineman.

Yes please

So who goes if this guy gets signed, has to be Gilliam??

My guess is he signs to the PS to start.  Learn the playbook and get up to speed.  After that, we shall see.

[BigAl2526]

Interesting.  He's a big bodied TE who should be able to block.  Prior to the combine he was thought to be fast for a big guy and to run the 40 in the 4.6 range.  At the combine, however, he ran a very disappointing 4.95.  I have no idea why the expectations different from the results, but at least he gave the indication thaty he might be a receiving threat as a pro.

I'll never forget Lee Smith when he was mic'd up with the Falcons when they played the Bills a couple years ago. Hilarious!

[Rubes]

I'm all for it if only for the good luck factor. This guy just wins Super Bowls.

I always loved how color commentators would refer to him as "blocking tight end Lee Smith," and then he'd go ahead and catch a TD pass. As slow as he was, he actually ran routes a few times per game, and if the defense didn't notice him, he'd make a play. He was a better athlete than people gave him credit for. I saw him in an interview once where he bragged that he could play anywhere on the O-line, in a pinch. But, his real use was in the jumbo packages. That was where the much-maligned Bobby Hart was actually useful. I think it's a wrinkle that this current roster lacks.

[Utah John]

This is all wrong.  Tight ends LAST names start with K.  Knox, Kincaid, Kelce, Kittle.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

They also restructured Taron and Ryan Bates

It won't. 'Cos he isn't.

[maddenboy]

this is genius

 

because, after Kelce has a knee injury, lets snap up the first guy the Chiefs would call.

 

seriously.

[Dr.Sack]

Smart move if Kelce is out.

Yea he would be a PS addition. Even Wilson the young kid on the PS at TE is not really a blocker. Having someone who can fulfil that role somewhere makes sense.

Earlier?

 

Yes I remember thinking that after Paul Seymour retired in 1977.

 

Those were the days.

 

What time is it? It's really dark outside.

There you go.  He's the reason they called it the K-Gun offense.

[drummernut74]

Von is going to be pissed ... he wants to be the first player to win a SB with 3 different teams!

[Captain Caveman]

My guess would be this guy starts on practice squad and occasionally gets elevated to be a blocking TE based on gameplan.  Or if he gets signed to active roster I guess Quinton might go to PS?

If 2 guys. do it together that could be fun trivia down the road

[The Frankish Reich]

I hope he sticks. We really have been missing a better than adequate blocking TE. It was fun to pile on Lee Smith, but he did his job and made the team just a little bit better.
