Armstrong bad choice?

What was with all the love for this guy, then he dropped a TD that he really needed to catch?
Granted, first game, but I watched some routes and I was not all impressed. Anyone else care to shed some light on this guy?

Pretty quick hook, jsarno. A little patience will (hopefully) go a long way here!

Although AA could (maybe should) have caught the first ball, the second was well defended. One missed catch should not make him a bust.

As I stated before, maybe 5'11" WRs shouldn't be thrown endzone fade passes designed for tall wideouts. I know that he screwed up that first pass, but still I felt a taller wideout should've been in the receiving end of that pass (well, actually we should've run the ball at least once.

Plus this guy needs to develop rhythm with DMc (and vice versa).

In fact, after seeing more replays I think that if AA were a more well known and respected/accomplished WR the ref would have probably called pass interference. It looked to me like Jenkins was draped completely over his back before the ball got there.

As I pointed out, I watched some routes that didn't impress me...also, I did not once say cut him, or bench him.

Wow I guess the other 25 WR threads must be lock down, odd!

Gotta love the patience of fans.

well, im with jsarno on this to a degree. i mean, having galloway and armstrong higher in the depth chart than devin thomas? (yes i read all about thomas' inability topick up playbook since we drafted him)

im watching the game on tv so i dont know who was open and who wasnt (man i wish we had access to the coach film showing the whole field) but it seemed only moss or cooley was getting open.

not to piss off ace, but reciever is a concern imo. i mean, is thomas really that bad that 38 year old galloway with what 10 catches last year and a 26 year old rookie beat him out? i guess so, the coaches know but dang if it aint a head scratcher. at the very least its a kick in the nuts that we had 3 2nd round picks 3 years ago and am going to walk away with a servicable TE and maybe a returner.

imo armstrong needs to get open sunday for a nice big gain and galloway needs to catch some short-mid range 1st down catches for both to stay in the receiver rotation. otherwise, we gotta hope thomas replaces them and starts to click.

if armstrong, galloway and thomas all maintain status qou, it could be a long season passing attack wise.

AA is what he is , a journeyman who just played in the arena league.. What did u expect?

That pass went right through his hands and maybe if he was taller it would have bounced right off his head. LOL
