T.Armestead praised in MMQB
 

Peter King gushed about rookie tackle and the way he handled Trent Cole I really didn't pay much attention to him and that usually is a good thing for a OL player . I have high hopes for Armstead. Our OL needs tweaking.

He looked really good! The one sack he gave up, Drew didn't step up in the pocket like he should have...

Good to see him stepping up.
If we can re - sign Streif and the two guards can stay healthy a top notch center in the draft or st least a real camp competition for the spot and the line looks good.

Re: T.Armestead praised in MMQB
 

I remember when Strief was the weak link. My how times have changed.
dlp needs some serious competition in camp.

Re: T.Armestead praised in MMQB
 

I'm glad to see him improve. Hope it continues. He looks like Jamaal Brown, who was absolute beast for us.

I believe we'll beat Seattle.

Armstead does remind me a lot of Jammal Brown as a young guy. Not huge, just average size for a left tackle, but really really strong and powerful. Love this kid as the future anchor of the o-line.

Re: T.Armestead praised in MMQB
 

Only thing is, Armstead is a lot more athletic than Jammal Brown was. That is a very good thing for the Saints.

A physical animal at 6'5" 306 lbs and runs a 4.65 40yd (new combine record for linemen)

That is what you want out in front of your screen.

Re: T.Armestead praised in MMQB
 

Armstead looked really good against the Eagles and with a better center next season - the Saints will have a much improved O-line to protect Brees and to help with the running and screen game.

I'd still prefer a more mobile RT than Strief, but I don't know if Marcel Jones is ever going to be that player for the Saints - and in any case, Strief has performed much better than he did last season.

One thing is for sure, there'll be some changes coming to the O-line since DLP, Strief and Brown are all going to be UFAs next offseason.

Jerry Rice reportedly ran a 4.71. Not that it means anything or you can make a comparison between the two. Just an interesting tidbit.

As soon as we get pierre on a screen with armstead infront of him, look out! It will be carnage!
