Dorance Armstrong is having a great year

[Killerinstinct]

Very Impressive and seems like a team player and all around great guy!

And to think, we nearly gave Randy Gregory all that money and would have surely let Armstrong walk

I was saying all along that Armstrong produced better than Gregory for a lot less money. But he seems to be playing on a higher level this year. Maybe it’s because they are letting him play and do his thing.

I loved the Superman blocked punt. The only time Gregory did something like that he was diving for his bong.

Safe to say the light bulb has come on. Making plays every week. I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen. But it finally did.

I think they were always bringing him back at that salary. He and LVE.

I or we must apologize to Stephen for blowing the Randy Gregory contract. I must admit I was disappointed but Armstrong is a beast, #2 behind #11

How many posts calling him "hot garbage" or "worthless" over the past five seasons?

How many times was he the correct answer to the question, "Who do we cut/trade"?

This is why you keep your guys. Familiarity has a cumulative effect on team cohesion.

I was wrong about him!
Glad he's a Cowboy!

We got 3 guys who are on pace for double digit sacks.

Well this is one time that we like our guys has paid off...

 

[Risen Star]

He's still on pace for 17 sacks this season.

This isn't funny anymore.

Cooper Rush, Noah Brown, Anthony Brown.....

I suspect that one of the major strengths of these coaches are that they are excellent teachers. Not only do they know how to use great players, they know how to make players great.

Yikes!

Still would not mind us adding some outside free agency help.

Correction. I thought Armstrong had 5 sacks. He's got 4. Putting him on pace for 13.5.

It is paying off bigtime with a lot of guys.

As I’ve said many, many times on here, I trust NFL coaches’ and scout’s opinions quite a bit more than posters on a message board who think they know everything.

I've noticed there are different strategies when it comes to adding talent.

The first one is rather simple. You buy the level of talent you want readymade in a veteran free agent while paying that premium price.

The second method is you acquire someone with the physical attributes capable of doing what you want and you teach them how to do what you want.

The first method requires an investment of cap space. The second one requires an investment in time and patience. The lower round draft picks as well as rookie free agents make up the majority of players using the second method.

Time and patience have produced players like Noah Brown and Dorance Armstrong, as well as Dalton Schultz and Terence Steele. We should all remember this when discussing the younger players that are lower draft picks and rookie free agents. Part of acquiring experience is learning from mistakes.
