Dolphins' Terron Armstead cracks PFF's top 10 tackles​

"Armstead helps Miami in more ways than one. Coaches and players have already talked about his presence impacting the team. He’s willing to help some of the younger linemen learn the craft, and that could be extremely beneficial."

Obviously we don't know the daily interactions he has. But i was disappointed to hear other young players meeting up after practice with him and one of them wasn't named Austin Jackson.

I swear it's like the time it was report Jason Taylor offered to work with Dion Jordan in the summer and supposedly he refused.

I didn't hear anything about why AJAX isn't meeting with Armstead, Eich, etc but I've read a few places that he's not happy to have lost his OT spot (and pay eventually) with the Armstead signing.
He's also made public statements to the press (Palm Beach Post, etc) about considering himself an OT.

The worst kind of attitude, if true, you can have if you're him. It's OBVIOUS he wasn't good enough to keep the position. Now he has an opportunity to be humble and learn from one of the best. Really immature if true...

im still nervous about this guy staying healthy. If he can start and finish at least 13 games this season then I will be happy and I believe that alone will give us enough chance to make the post season.

Yes, I think we are all feeling that as fans. Something our coaches can do to help him stay healthy is to reduce practice reps and get him out of games when we fall far behind or get way ahead. I understand it's not popular to say that but it's a great strategy for keeping him healthy and bringing his backup along and keeping him involved.

He's always been a very good tackle. I been questionable about player strength conditioning here in south Florida, and wondering if they are doing everything to keep our guys in their best shape.

I think that is something that coaches always need to keep an eye on. Seeing Eich and Doaks this offseason, both look like they improved bulk and tone. Armstead gets hurt because he plays very physical football. He physically dominates opposition.

I don’t know if he’s a Tackle or Guard yet. He has to not play terrible at one of the spots before I can decide.

I think he's in serious danger of being out of the league if he doesn't improve significantly this year.
