Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Looks like SP liked what he he saw from Armstead.

"Payton also added he will not run another screen or swing pass for the entire first drive of the next game"

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

I thought he did solid for a rookie on a premier pass rusher in his first game but some of those sacks drew held on to the ball too long, that didn't help either out. But bottom line for him to get better he needs playing experience can't get that riding the pine. He'll turn out to be pretty good, i bet a paycheck on that.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

It looked like he only got flat out beat 2 or 3 times max. Against a premiere pass rusher in what was a playoff like atmosphere, Id say that's not to shabby.

They better hope he pans out though....

They cant just print money like the Feds.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

I agree. No way we can go back to Brown at this point, Coach would lose the team. Armstead got better as the game went on. He just needs reps.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

1 start want tell everything, we have to know if he is really good or not. I don't think he was all bad especially coming from Pine Bluff, Arkansas school.He has upside!!

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

LOL

"Brees hangs on to the ball to long"???

You have to have an open receiver???

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Only one that got open was Stills and the other TE not named Graham.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

I've been thinking the same thing. Early in the season, when we were winning, the short, ball control, passing game was our bread and butter. It seems to be missing lately.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Just have to give him some help because he will have a bulleye on him.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

I think the improvement from game 1 to game 2 will be noticeable.
Got the jitters out, can work all week on correcting his errors, and he's at home.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

The improvement from 1st to 2nd half was noticeable. The guy gave up 0 sacks on 22 drop backs in the 2nd half. It also felt like we ran the ball much better with him in, you cant credit him completely with that but he played a role.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Brees has held the ball to long, but the fact is teams have been able to get significant pressure on Brees with a 4 man rush and put 7 in coverage, result no one is open or takes longer to get open.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Since around game 6, yes.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Which is why we need to run even if we're only getting 3 yrds a pop. It opens up the short game. I still would like an explanation as to why we went away from Ingram.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

He should, he did all right for a rookie. There were a few times it looked like the game was moving too fast for him, but let him finish out the season starting at L/T and he'll be a keeper. Personally, I liked when he dunked over the crossbar (sans football) on the Graham TD ... I thought "now here's a guy out there just enjoying his first start in the NFL", :lol:.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

And I think he gets better and better with each start.

I'm pretty excited to see what he looks like with an entire off-season of NFL conditioning, and a full TC/Pre-season starting at LT.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Just give him some help because Tampa watched the Carolina game and they will be trying to attack any weakness they can.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

This is a sign he is our guy going forward and he needs the reps to learn. Charles Brown will make a solid backup but his abilities are limited. Armstead is raw but his abilities are much higher than Brown. An offseason, full camp and pre-season and he will seem like a different man.

I think that's what you do or you run the risk of being questioned..The kid will do the job!WHO DAT

He could have thrown the ball away.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

let's see how he does for the next 5 games and then evaluate him in training camp

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Brown should have been in in the second quarter. Armstead was awful.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Can't wait to see him play again.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

I got it...

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

“I plan on it being a whole lot smoother. I plan on you guys not noticing I’m out there,” joked Armstead, who has obviously seen an increase in media attention over the past week since being thrust into the starting lineup in favor of struggling veteran Charles Brown."

“I think one of the things that we saw in the running game, he did a really good job finishing,” Payton said.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Drew is a pocket QB... That is called intentional grounding.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Not if he'd left the pocket so he could throw the ball out of bounds.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Think about that for a while.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

You think about it!

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

No need to. If he could get out of the pocket at will, he probably wouldn't take the sack or need to throw it away.

I tried to help you. Thanks for playing.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

Brees was always rated high for releasing the ball quickly. What has changed to make him delay his throws? If it is because his receivers are not getting open then I wonder what has changed there.

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

We averaged 10 yards per offensive play (9.6 overall, 15.3 passing)," Brees said after the game, "which was pretty ridiculous."

it doesn't matter how many yards you have if you do not score touchdowns!

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

I'm glad they're sticking with the young man, because all things considered, he did a fine job in his first professional start.

Now, if only they had a solid center...

Re: Armstead To Get Another Start
 

You must have turned the game off early. Armstead wasn't so great in the beginning, but in the 2nd half he didn't allow a single sack.
