Armistead and Rankins

spkb25 · 02-04-2018, 07:10 AM

If we can find someone willing to take Armisteads massive contract should we trade him and install Senio as starting guard while moving Peat? Maybe draft another guard too.

Should we get whatever we can for Rankins while he still has some value or see if we can get someone next to him that might free him up like Nick did his rookie season?

I’d keep Rankins. He’s still on a rookie contract, and I don’t think he was as big of a let down as others said this year.

As far as Armstead, he’s like Jamal Brown at the point when we traded him to the Redskins. He just can’t stay healthy. We have a tackle who can step in and take his spot so I have no fear of moving him. Maybe we can use that money to sign Jarvis Landry!

I saw a couple of ex-players gushing over Rankins recently on NFL Network. They said in their film studies that he is constantly eating up two blockers giving Jordan and other defenders a more open lane. He is doing his job and doing it at a high level.

I would have to trust their opinion over mine, but I am not seeing it. We need real help along our dline. There were times if Cam couldn't get there it was as if there was literally no one else.

I thought Okafor going down was huge because of that.

We're not getting what we need at the nose; but for where we took Rankins, he should be splitting double teams a lot more...

Mickster/Payton screwed up not getting in on the signing of Damon Harrison; we should have more interior production...

Definitely move Mr. Glass; disappointed in Rankins' numbers, but it is very premature to move him at this time...

Get interior help, take Taven Bryan then leave Rankins at DE, take a Vita Vea, move him back to DT3...

I think Peat is much better at LG than he would be at LT. Peat does not have quick feet, so he's better off inside where he's not generally dealing with outside pass rushers. And tackles have to move more laterally than guards do.

If they trade Armstead... I would move Ranczyk to LT, and find another RT.

Peat played a bunch of LT without armistead this season, and some last season too. We kept sliding Peat down and senio to guard.

I think Peat is fine at LT, at least from what I have seen

He does mull people at guard though

This was Rankins’s first full season after he only played half his rookie season. Geez we’re already talking about getting rid of him.

Careful boss, you've been discussing getting rid of Drew for like three years now especially in chat when he throws an INt during the game. I am not saying you're not intelligent, but getting rid of Rankins for lack of production verse calling for Drew's head for a few years now.....lets evaluate that
