The biggest problem with Armanti...

Recommended Posts

Adams is a lot more raw than I expected, but he has some traits that arent very "teachable". Well, one of them is speed, but he's also fearless. He engages with defenders when they get close with anger much like a young Steve Smith. He either will explode away from them or attack them viciously with a free arm. He just doesnt want to go down and that, to me, is what Armanti does the worst. AE just never seemed to get physical enough and that will spell his end. Thats not gonna cut it with the big boys. Maybe he'll find work in the slot but the coaches will have to ask themselves if he'll ever develop past that when considering if he's worth the roster slot. Will he ever get mean?

As long as Adams learns to hold on to the ball, he'll be fine. Catching is an easier fix than fumbling though imho.

You might have missed the irony in the fact that your post is keeping the Armanti poison flowing through the veins of this message board........

i kind of keyed in on the fact that he accused "app state fanboys" of being both liberal tree hugging environmentalist hippies and inbred rednecks at the same time. i mean i certainly knew people in boone who would go to protests and stuff during the day and then go play banjos and drink moonshine on their porches in the evening but they weren't cousin-fugers necessarily.

I just see now way you can realistically keep Armanti given that he has been outplayed by every other receiver in camp. Armanti is not better than Smith, Lafell, Murphy, Pilares, Greene, Bryant, Tutu, etc. He's a gimmick player that we have no use for on this team with the addition of Adams and Murphy.

The only way Hurney keeps him around is that he is not willing or ready to fess up to his huge screw up by trading away the 33rd pick in the 2011 draft for him.

AE will make the team... Last night is the best we've ran the ball in 4 games (i no i no, its backups allover the field) but the fact that armanti was used the majority of the game often as the lone wideout and still managed to do a great job blocking for those rb's who seemed to always run to the outside in his direction, leads me to believe that AE is getting better as an allround receiver and the coaches have noticed as well.

Like I said before, 89-11-83-81-15-14 will make the squad... It's when Gettis returns is the question.

And when it's all said and done, I'd rather have a player that knows Chud's offense in the unfortunate case of a WR being injured.

Lastly, teams keep certain players to mimock others for practice reasons. Though its a long shot, what would better prepare our Defense for the Monday night game in Philly-- Jimmy doing his best Mike Vick impersonation or AE?

The kid is a useful asset on the football team... wr, pr, kr, 3rd qb/wild cat gimmock, whatever.

    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.   
    • Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
