He See sawd around the subject but did bring up that End is what Armstead wanted to play when he signed here.

What dip*** move that was from Baalke. And what a selfish move from Armstead. And I do blame Baalke for this because it is widely known that Armstead is a Baalke signing and his guy. 


Let’s sign a guy to x amount of money and rarely put our three best d lineman on the field at the same time because we have to playcate to some guy who only wants to play end …. And then let’s just add him to our DE depth chart and give him significant snaps there taking one of our best players off the field to do so.

So stupid, instead of developing a pass rush and doing what’s best for the team , let’s play trash players throughout the game on the interior, neglect signing any real DEs in the offseason because we have DTs slotted there on our depth chart that we are calling ends, and let’s cover it all up by saying hey we are rotating guys so we can keep guys fresh for our continuos 4th quarter defensive meltdown we experience every week.

Selfish by all parties. They don’t give a rats *** about this defense they only care about there needs (Armstead) or the players they sign getting the credit (Baalke) or sticking to some ridiculous rotation that clearly makes us worse because it’s what you believe in (Nielsen)
