DC.COM: 3 Pressing Questions: Broaddus Talks Spencer’s Calls; Armstrong

[WoodysGirl]

Bryan Broaddus
Football Analyst/Scout

What have you seen from Anthony Armstrong on film and do you think his signing has anything to do with the lack of excitement they have in other young receivers such as Harris and Beasley?

Broaddus: One of the first things that you notice about Armstrong’s game is his ability to run. This has carried over from his days at West Texas A&M where he was timed at 4.38. He was a much more productive player when he got opportunities in Washington during the 2010 season than any of his recent body of work. The move here for Holmes is more about what he lacked than what Beasley or Harris give you. It was an opportunity to add an explosive player that could potentially stretch the field where Holmes didn’t give you that.

Were you surprised Anthony Spencer said he was going to call the defensive plays and not a middle linebacker?

Broaddus: At first, I was very surprised because I assumed that it would be Connor but with the way that he and Sims switched in and out, you would need someone that never comes off the field. If you look at the situation, Spencer never comes off the field so from that sense it makes perfect sense.
