Skinny Tee just made us all his collective bitch

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

LOL. Finally the change we've been looking for!

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Alright! Super Bowl!

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

He seems kind of small for the Oline?

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

When you look at his stats they seem pretty good.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

West Texas A&M. Coached by Ryan Leaf!

Maybe. I can't assume he played there post-2006 season.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

This might be a dumb question but...

Why are we signing people to the practice squad?

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

"WR Anthony Armstrong drew raves during OTAs for his vastly improved route-running skills. The lightning-quick Armstrong, a former AFL star for the Dallas Desperados, torched nearly every defensive back in camp, and has moved up the depth chart into fourth place ahead of Brandon London."

I'll see what I can find out about this dude during my weekend in MIA. Although I doubt if anyone, including me, even cares at this point.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

This could be an upgrade over Thomas and Kelly. lol. And he's cheaper too!!!!

Great. Cheap and available. That's worked well for us.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

He looks like a mix between LeBron James and Gilbert Arenas.

More like Dennis Rodman or Sleepy Floyd.

Because there was an open spot?

LOL...It looks like I'm a clairvoyant.

Too funny...I wish he would have been an OL though...that would have been too eerie : )

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

The rumor has now become fact! Too bad he wasn't a OL or it would have been perfect.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Who said the Warpath has no influence! Skinny Tee Lead on man!

OMG. You can't be serious? Let me ask the obvious question. Has he been developed already? Cause if not you can count on more of the same from another teams camp scrubs.

More importantly will he give JC time to get the ball out to any WR?

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

[quote=Mattyk72;613426]Because there was an open spot?[/quote]

Which begs the question....who got let go? Yesterday we cut MM and Alridge and a the Punter Pakalak? to only sign Levi, Wynn, and Ganther. All spots filled. So I wonder who got cut off the PS?

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

He is almost the same body type as Moss, so unless he has a 7Ft verticle jump it's going to be more of the same. I thought that they (Chris Carter and others) were talking about how much Sherman Smith likes those big guys.

Why was this guy dumped when he was "doing so well" in Miami?

What in the hell is really going on. This just seems like another desparation move from Vinny with no real thought behind it. It's official, his ass is on the line and he is in "panic mode"

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Potential return man maybe?

Pakulak was brought up from the practice squad to the active roster last weekend. When that happened a spot opened up on the ps

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

What is Vinny's fascination with WR's? He never saw one he did not want to get. How many do we have on the roster and practice squad now? Enough.

[quote=DynamiteRave;613397]This might be a dumb question but...

He'll probably be released to make room for somebody else next week, just another in the endless parade.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Patriots worked him out a few weeks ago. Maybe he can take ARE's spot.. don't know why we haven't tried that with Thomas or one of the backs we let go though.

Well, our receivers are all headed to the Pro Bowl.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

we are the dumbest franchise right now...why the hell would we be signing WR when we dont use the ones we have...can anyone say Marko Mitchell?????
And what about the sorry a$$ line we have???? Why not bring in NOTHING BUT OL?????

This signing captures why we suck....flash and flare over structural building

it's just the practice squad man

you pull the better players that you can find to it, it's not the active roster

if another team has someone that we need on their PS we can always go after them

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

What an amazing signing. Amazing speed and route running...who would have thought he would have 772 yards with 2 games to go? I can't wait to see him on the field next year!

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Whew - good thing I didn't have any negative posts in this thread...

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Nice bump, saden.
He's outperformed this guy:
[url=http://www.nfl.com/players/antwaanrandleel/profile?id=RAN399604]Antwaan Randle El, WR for the Pittsburgh Steelers at NFL.com[/url]

,,,and for millions less. Goes to show the biggest FA of the year is not necessarily that good.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Lol at everybody who was wrong in this thread. 40 receptions, 772 yards, and the #2 wideout spot locked down for the time being later, that signing is looking pretty good. Hopefully he keeps producing for us but I'm sure he'll always have his haters, as long as he isn't putting up elite #2 wideout numbers, just like people hate on Moss despite him being our most dependable receiver and a mostly reliable guy.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

He's really come on strong of late too. Nice diamond in the rough.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Huntz was on point with this! Vinny left us with an all-star

All he does really is run deep, but he does it well and unlike previous guys who ran deep routes he catches the ball

Who is hating on AA now? I thinks he's been a fairly bright spot in this season.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

He could likely finish the season with 900+ yards receiving. When was the last time the Skins had a number 2 receiver with over 900 yards? Albert Connell in '99?

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

Interesting - good bump! I didn't realize that Armstrong was a VINNY signing. I gave Shanahan credit for discovering him. Nevertheless -- I guess Shanny deserves credit for holding onto him & actually starting him.

Re: Redskins Sign Armstrong...Seriously, No Joke, Ain't Even Playin'
 

And on a side note he did by far the best Dougie end zone dance in the NFL this year. Speed and Dance moves= great WR potential.

I don't think they're hating on AA as much as they're saying they're not satisfied with our current group of wideouts. Personally if we went into next season with Moss and Armstrong as our top two I wouldn't mind, I'd just rather have some young talent instead of Roydell Williams (who really hasn't brought much to the team).

I just think most people want a "real" number 1. Moss and Armstrong are both very good role players at this point. A strong # 1 (I am thinking of Calvin Johnson, VJax, SRice type player) would make a strong WR corps, consisting of new #1, Moss, Armstrong, and Banks, with Austin in reserves.
