Five sacks is a part-time player last year. I hope he gets the opportunity to break out this year and just smashes that door

Over his last 11 games, Armstrong has been extremely productive, recording 12 QB hits, seven sacks, and five TFL.

Not sure why they stopped at 11 games but those are solid numbers.
Those are good numbers.

Until this past week, it sure didnt seem it.

Armstrong is a solid rotational player.

Contract up next year so if a stud pass rusher is available in the 1st I'm not waiting for a second to draft.

It's been nice watching Armstrong grow over the years and it's been how you'd like to see a 4th round pick progress. He only took 535 snaps over his first two seasons and showed very little production as he grew into the NFL. 2020 his snap count went up to 369 and he had a little better production. In his 4th season in 2021 it was kind of time for the player to sink or swim and he swam to 507 snaps with 5 sacks, 22 pressures, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and 3 tackles for loss. Not eye popping #s, but 2022 has already started off well for him. At the very least he's a nice rotational player that Quinn seems to get the best out of.

Overall numbers last year were 5 sacks in 507 snaps. 1 sack every 100 snaps is pretty typical for what would be considered an average starting DE. Starting DE's usually play between 700-800 snaps, so that would be 7 to 8 sacks with a full time starter workload

The big difference is DA offers run stop assistance as he makes actual tackles.
He is a solid player who can play 3,4,5 and 7 gaps.
He is far from elite but he is a solid player already at 25 years old.
He can be the 7(WDE) on early downs and filter inside on pass rush downs.

You got him for 2 years at 12M total in his age 25 and 26 season which is tremendous business.

I place credit to Quinns coaching.
he been playing better over last year +2 games or since Quinn became DC

3 years pre Quinn------------------------ 2.5 sacks, 3TFL, 8 QB hits
last year and 2 games under Quinn---7.0 sacks, 5TFL, 14 QB hits

he is improving-hope it keeps up but think Quinn will get most from him

Because it is the most favorable way to slice it. Likely representing 2 really good games on each end

The guy is good, but playing opposite 90 will 11 on the hunt makes things easier for sure.
