Re: Starting Armstead - Good move?
I'm not sure if it was the right stage for Payton to start Armstead on. But I think it was good to see what he could bring to what has been a bad stretch for this offensive line.

Re: Starting Armstead - Good move?
all in all he looked better than i thought. i only saw one blown assignment on a stunt. once he got beaten plan and simple. other than that i think we might have something with him

Re: Starting Armstead - Good move?
Dont think he did too bad... the sacks came partially on brees holding the ball. Yhe run game looked better.

Re: Starting Armstead - Good move?
Guys, I think Armstead was responsible for a good number of those sacks. Yes, I agree that Brees held the ball a bit longer than you would like. But I think its more that the receivers are not getting open down field as much as in the past.
All in all I thought his first game was so-so. I thought the Saints ran the ball better when going off the right side of the line anyway. |

I am not someone that studies game film, but I only saw a couple of really bad plays on his part. Someone stated earlier he was beaten like a drum on one play, and then I saw another where he looked like he lost his guy. I don't think he looked any worse than Brown did the week before, and actually considering he is a rookie from a small school and was going against someone in the same ballpark as Brown went against the week before I think he could do well. Based on what I have seen this year when you look at an overall picture I think out biggest need is a center that can take care of blocking assignments and actually hold his own. Everyone know Drew needs stronger players up front to open lanes, it seems that Evans and Grubbs can hold their own but constantly are helping De la Puenta and when Drew cannot step up the pressure from the tackles can get to him easier. When you have an overall downgrade across the line everything goes bad. good Center with Grubbs and Evans and I think the Saints will be much better as long as Armstead progresses. |
