Wow. I thought for sure Brown would be given every chance to start. But with this new attitude from Payton seems like all bets are off. He must really like him. Will be great to have some athleticism at the Tackle spot.

I would also be cautious with this because Brown was injured for the first few practices and Smith has run some with the ones so they are definitely rotating.

They are certainly not handing Armstead the job, but being that he is getting more reps with the ones than Smith does say he is at least ahead of him right now.

We'll see how Brown does coming back from that weightlifting injury. I suspect that's why he was with the 3s his first practice back.

In the end I hope Armstead does win out because I loathe the idea of Brown starting. I was hopeful Smith would show something but getting pushed down the chart by a Div2 rookie is not a good sign for him(or a great sign for Armstead and the Saints).
