Whatever happened to Dorance Armstrong?

[jaybird]

with all the negative drama around Taco, whatever happened to Dorance Armstrong. He kind of fell off the radar. The team was high on him. Rookie season kind of fizzled out.

He had one tackle against the Saints

Not many reps available. Notable: he was on game day roster lately when Taco hasn't.

Dlaw and Gregory have been owning playing time...

Plus he’s a young rookie whose probably learning how to play at this level and working on his craft/moves

Been a Cowboy for all of 7 months.

We all know rookie DE's don't make an impact that quickly.

He was ahead of the Taco on the depth chart this week.

While the offense hasn’t been putting up the points recently, they have been dominating time of possession and moving the ball. That keeps the defense fresh, and with the D limiting long drives, there’s been little need for rotations lately.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Judging by the eye test they seem to be focusing more on rotating less with the DE's and riding with Lawrence and Gregory more. I dont know if the actual snap counts agree with that. Last year Lawrence only played about 700 snaps, and it just seems like they are riding him as well as Gregory as opposed to giving 4 DE's 500 or so snaps

The defense was on the field yesterday for less than 23 minutes. With the Eagles not sustaining any drives, it lessens the need for rotating the linemen.

Armstrong also needs a year in the weight room - he's not strong enough yet to be a real factor on a down to down basis.

Crawford started at RDE.

Dorance is a rookie, mid round pick.

Some defensive ends take time to develop. Or, he may never end up being any good.

If you get one or two starters from a draft you should be ecstatic

Dorance wont be one of them

 

[revospeed]

He gets the occasional pressure and is around the ball. The fact that he’s playing at all is a good indicator of a 4th round pick.

Another one who’ll get exposed in a year or so

Crawford and Gregory is what happened. Plus the birds only had the ball 15 minutes.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Gregory happened.
