Starting Armstead - Good move?

Budsdrinker · 12-23-2013, 08:22 AM

The one play when he looked lost on the stunt could have been the wrong protection called and he just tried a gut reaction and was too late. Hardy is a tough guy to block and did beat him a couple times but I do think Armstead is our future LT.

I noticed several mistakes, confusion about whats going on, lunging, off-balance, attacking the wrong player, just pitiful.

Now on to Armstead... I thought he did fine for a rookie in his 1st start. Most of his mistakes looked like he was a bit hesitant about who to block. Thats correctable.

Agreed. Armstead looks pretty good out there outside of a few plays. It was the interior of the line that really had the troubles.

Armstead looked loads better in the second half, its like putting a rookie QB out there and complaining when he throws a pick six, you can't judge him off this performance

I just think it was just a little too much for him guys.. Brees didint help out much by holding the ball, but On some plays hes just got killed.. I know hes still learning and heck he had some good plays as well.. I just think brown just needs to finish the season now payton proved his point
