Does anyone honestly think we see Armstead at all Sunday?

I wouldn't be completely opposed to it. But I think it will be more of a see how Brown reacts and don't hesitate to pull him. I absolutely hated putting Strief in at LT and Harris at RT because now you're weakening two positions. I really hope their getting Armstead as many reps as possible just in case. Is this reality or just out there thinking?

benching charles brown was a stupid in game decision. Payton had seen enough, well see enough next time in practice or game film...we stood no chance of coming back after that

The fact that we basically haven't seen Armstead at all has me concerned, honestly.

So you think benching Charles Brown was why we had no chance of coming back in the game? He was terrible. A player can have a good week in practice and look awful on game day. I am not sure how benching him prevented us from coming back.

I think we're more likely to see Harris at LT. My thinking is that Payton didn't want to send Harris in with no LT reps. He took RT reps all pre-season. Strief has at least some LT experience.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I just heard on Mascona about 10 mins ago that after the game Strief said that was the first time he had taken any LT reps all year. Didn't specify when the last time he had.
Not saying I don't think Strief would be a better option at LT, but now you're weakening RT. I'm never a fan of changing two spots if you can only change one.

I heard that he took some reps against either Carolina or Chicago. They said he held his own against Peppers. I can't remember it myself.
I don't think he should be playing LT. It was just a hard, in-game decision. I'm just guessing the thinking behind it.

This! Everybody on this board has a hard dick over Armstead. Don't get me wrong he is a saint and I hope he does well, but this what I posted about when he and Brown were drafted. Raw athleticism is great in theory, but YOU AIN'T GOT shite until they get polished! This is why the FO needs to stop drafting players purely based on athletic prowess, and start drafting players that are more polished.
Projects are great (ie Graham, Evans, and Hicks). But there have been several disasters as well (C. Vaughn, S. Arneaux, C. Brown, M. Wilson, A. Woods).

FYI Al Woods started for the Steelers Thursday night. But that helps the Saints none.
Someone was on Moscona Monday and said Armstead is a project. Won't be surprised if we don't see him at all.

I'm happy for Al if he is playing, I have met him before and he is a very good person.
On Armstead; this is what my post was mainly referring to. The projects dont help us when we have an immediate need. Projects are great, but we neither have the depth nod wealth of draft picks to spend picks on projects like we do

Well not at LT anyway. And our cap is crunched. Such is life.
Posted on 12/17/13 at 7:12 pm to infantry1026
Armstead will probably be on the active squad for the game, but he won't play unless the LT position goes even further south. Since Brown played well against Car a couple of weeks ago, my guess is he starts and is put on a very short leash.

Well, presumably you wouldn't move Strief to LT if you think you will be weakening that position.

I don't specifically mean Strief at LT would weaken the position. I meant more that he hadn't even practiced there all year. So now by moving him from his natural spot, you're disrupting two positions. I get that's what Payton felt was best for that game without any prep and spur of the moment, but I have to think there will be a better backup plan this weekend, if not an outright change of starters
