Armanti Edwards interview (5/7)


Recommended Posts

I don't think Armanti is a bad interview at all. He does seem to have a habit of finishing a sentence in a tone of voice that suggests that he's not really finished though. I guess that could get a little annoying eventually but I thought he did pretty well overall. Like all of these rookies, he will get better at this stuff if he stays in the league for a while.

I know several people who had classes with him at Appalachian. Let's just say that he's not the brightest guy in the world.

That sounds contrary to many things that have been said about him since the draft.

I just think it's his voice. He's very monotone, and most of the things he says aren't that enlightening.

I'm not saying he's not intelligent, just that his manner of speaking doesn't really captivate a listener.

I wouldn't know for sure, that's just second hand information. I do know that Armanti was well liked around campus and stayed out of trouble, which is more than can be said of a lot of college players

That's a very good thing, actually. He sounds like he fits the team personality wise, at least (besides the monotone voice and uninteresting answers to questions he seems to give [i have not heard the interview]).

Well, regardless of how he did in the classroom, he must have a pretty good football IQ. They already have him trying to learn all three WR spots, punt returns, and it sounds like he's going to be running the wild cat too. That's a lot to throw at a rookie who hasn't played WR since HS and has never returned a punt in his life. After reading all the opinions of the beat writers as well as our very own Mr. Scot, it sounds like he's picking everything up pretty quickly too.

I believe he graduated in 3 years. Less than 4 anyway. Did you? :)

He's plenty smart enough to play pro ball. He'll get better at the interviews

    • I'm more curious if he can recover from his injury and still be a starting caliber olineman
    • Does this mean only topics from within the last year or any topics with posts from the last year? i.e. if there are any old threads we feel should be kept around for whatever reasons, would a bump of that thread before the update ensure it's kept around in full or do the posts from more than a year old still disappear?
    • I'm more intrigued at him becoming our future LG. There were some people who thought he was better suited to be a guard in the NFL to begin with.  Then if Freeling ends up being a legit LT, moving Ickey to LG could give us an incredibly strong left side of our OL for years to come. Ickey has only played on the Left side his whole career, both in college and the NFL, so I just wonder if keeping him on the left side, even if shifting inside, would be better than putting him outside on the right side. Just hoping him growing up a Panthers fan will make him want to stay here and move positions than enter FA so he can stay at LT somewhere else, particularly since LT is the big money position on the OL, so he likely can get paid more by someone else to play LT than play LG or RT here for us.
