I want to get behind this, but...



... it's Chris Simms.

(I hope he and Mike Kaye are right about Armstead's hands)

Vooch Lombardi had Armstead as his number 3 RB in the draft. At 16:40

Listening to this, Armstead sounds like a blend of Maurice Jones-Drew and Fournette.

Temple prospects in recent history tend to be very physical, the way that Iowa prospects in recent history tend to have very solid technique. Coaching thumbprints.

I dig physical players, so I’m good with the pick, even if I expected a more explosive/receiving/dynamic RB pick. I’ll give him a chance to show what he can do at least.

I need to take a look at his pass blocking as I have no idea how he projects/commits in that area. Haven’t done my homework yet.

So.... We selected the potential second best RB (Simms opinion) in the 2019 NFL Draft? In the fifth round simply because he went to Temple.

He should be the perfect back-up to Fournette. I respect Simms' opinions. MJD also liked this pick.

So you're saying Foles is similar to Manning and Brady?
