I'll be damned. Alex Armah is making his case

[Basbear]

 

o btw the recently fired mark koncz scouted him and pushed hard during the draft process for his abilities 

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, I walked away from his performance yesterday concerned...  not because of his performance, but because he put us in a tough position.  He is clearly the better athlete with a ton of pop in his pads compared to Young.  But, I watched him closely when he was in, and he still has to develop the technical aspects of being a full-time FB...  for instance, I watched him make a great lead block on a run, then a few plays later, he completely whiffed on his assignment and the run got blown up in the backfield by the guy he whiffed on.  But, I think he is the more dangerous weapon of the two FB candidates, even now.  If he can grow into a consistent blocker...  wow.

In the first clip check out #57 on the Titans.  Talk about giving up on a play.

i kill people in madden with fast FBs out of the backfield lol.

We used to carry 2 FBs all the time when Brockel was here. I can easily see us carry 2 again this year.

Armahgeddon just looking like a man among boys.

Better than Tolbert.

Not defending Tolbert as a great but, better than Tolbert, dang, getting old around here is dangerous.  Did you forget all the times you cheered when he bowled people over.  Why not evaluate him without throw "shade" at others that busted their azz for us.

I define anything negative about Tolbert as 2015 and beyond Tolbert, not dominating Tol-dozer.

The kid looked good and I hope to see him do his thing on Sundays.

  As guy get old they begin to suck, cut them, trade them or retire them, but move on, don't bash them is my thing.

  Yeah, he should have been gone a few yrs ago, but he didn't stink the whole time is my point.

He had one good year in 2013 then sucked the rest of his time here.

I say we move on from this Mike Tolbert clone(Darrell Young) and let the young bul loose..

In the grand scheme of things carrying extra players at these types of positions will minimize are depth at more import ones like DE. Safety. WR...

not to mention most importantly special teams play lags because unathletic guys like a Tolbert or Darrell young have to play to keep value.. we already have a long snapper who is a liability.. small things like this are exposed when you face teams with true return specialist..

Agree. Carrying two FBs is a waste.

Young is nothing like Tolbert at all. He is a pure FB . I too want Armah to be the future but that is a bad comparison

I dont see the point in carrying 2 unless 1 can be usedin special teams.  I imagine with armah playing defense in college that he could play special teams, but id rather him start

That TD showed great balance.  He's obviously strong, but it's nothing without balance.  I hope we hang on to him.
