And maybe not as a Center.
But the dude is a gamer.
Every chance he's been given he has exceeded expectations and upgraded his game to meet the challenge.
He transferred from the Sun Belt conference and upgraded to ACC where he was the highest rated lineman in the NCAA Division 1.
Then he dominated in the Senior Bowl and we didn't even have to spend a draft pick on him.

I was excited to see what he was going to do here and I will not be surprised that we'll hear from him again.

Isn't he on Philly's practice squad? I mean I get the allure of a guy like WL, but there's no reason to think that the only reason the eagles brought him in is for inside info on the Rams. Teams are always looking for an advantage when game planning for a team you're going to play against early in the season.

I'm in no way saying he wont be a good player, I'm saying he's only shown something in preseason which quite honestly doesn't mean much.

You folks are way to hard on Limmer. He's a 6th round pick. Used to be 1st to 3rd rounders sat on the bench 3 or 4 years before they broke in. Center is the toughest OL position to learn. In time Limmer will learn, not in just one season. They're doing it right by him being first off the bench playing guard. He's right next to Shelton, the savant of line calling and the best teacher of playing center in the N FL.
Used those draft picks for a new QB.

Shelton is the weak link

Give it more than a game. We all know that he’s limited. So is Limmer. Apparently the Rams prefer a Savy limited veteran over a raw limited second year player. If it gets bad enough the coaches will make a change. But, it’s possible that the line play improves in the coming weeks with Shelton leading them.

I expect him to eventually pick up the line calls, but I feel he has limited potential. Great value for a 6th round pick but I don't believe he will ever be an above-average starter. I'm not even sure he will get significantly better at pass pro.

He will likely settle in as a top-notch backup or low-level starter.

He's on IR so he doesn't count against the roster. So they haven't designated whether or not he's going to be on the 53 or PS.

Yes, but he is taking up one of their 8 designated to return spots. Still stunned we didn't use one on him. Really hope it doesn't come back to haunt us.

Well ... not exactly. If/When Lampkin comes off the IL, he is on the 53 or he has to be waived.

A player has to pass through waivers before he can be placed on the Practice Squad.

The Rams waived Lampkin to get down to their 53. They could have placed him on the IL (like they did with Keir Thomas) but that would have put Lampkin out for the entire season (like Thomas).

Usually, when a player is waived with an injury (like Lampkin), the player is not claimed and reverts back to the team that waived him. Speculation is that what the Rams were hoping / planned; and then would have put Lampkin on the IL, with a designation to return.

However, the Eagles picked-up Lampkin; and he was on their 53-man roster. Couple days later, Philadelphia put Lampkin on the IL, with a designation to return.

If memory serves me correctly, WL already cleared waivers.

Once he comes back from IR maybe Rams can steal him back from PHI and put him on the 53.

That could only happen if Philadelphia tries to put Lampkin on their Practice Squad.

He is on the Eagles' IL, with a return designation. If he comes-off the IL, Philly can just put him on their 53.
If the Eagles want to instead place him on their Practice Squad, they must first waive Lampkin; and any team can put in a waiver claim.

That’s the scenario I was referring to. Be curious if PHI let Lampkin take a spot on the 53. They know OL better than any other NFL team.

I truly believe he’s a future quality center in the NFL. I want to believe the Rams would’ve kept him on the 53 if he wasn’t injured but they thought they could put him on IL once he was cut.

Agree, but unfortunately the Eagles acted like the low class pieces of shit that they are.
