“I think people had an assumption that athletes, especially football players, were stuck up and just hung out on their own,” Armah said. “I wanted to change that impression. I wanted to have friends and be involved with things outside of the team. That was something I motivated my teammates to do, too. That’s just my personality. I want to get to know people and develop meaningful friendships with them.”

There is a Bible verse that Armah thinks about often. It’s Matthew 23:12…”For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

“That’s something that really sits with me. I think it’s really important to remember. It’s been the way I’ve gone about my life in sports. I’ve always tried be a humble guy and work hard, and let things fall where they do. When I got here, I heard another rookie, Austin Dukeicon-article-link.gif, say it. And we really bonded over that. It’s important that we’re all working together, and have that mindset.”

OK, I know we're not supposed to develop man crushes on rookie FB's around here but I think I'm there with Alex Armah. He's the one who is going to make it, IMO.

Tolbert being gone somebody new has to become FB. Plus the scout who fell in love with him is still here.

Hopefully Hurney doesn't meddle with team philosophy at this point. It's too late for that.

Love Armahs potential as Fb, backup LB and special teamer.  He just is not ready to contribute.  I think he might be worth keeping anyway.  He has much more potential than Young.  My 1 cent.. As a rush LB he looks talented.  Similar size to Khalil Mack. He deserves monitoring.

I doubt he will be a back up LBer but how do you know he's not ready to be a FB? Everybody is acting as if that's such a complicated position but it's really not. You get the play and either block the gap the running play is supposed to go through, or you block your man in pass pro. It seems to me that if he can block, he can play. BTW, he also has pretty good hands.

A rookie 5th rounder is ready to start as a lead blocker?  Not saying anyone cant but damn asking a lot.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
