The 1st string offenses of the Dolphins and Bears were practicing simultaneously on two different fields. How is their starting left tackle able to "make all of these observations" while playing football?
Also we heard none of those same observations brought up by any of the chicago beat reporters who would have been all over this...

He’s retired.
My bad, I thought he retired from the Saints. Thought he retired this off-season. Then who was the Saints OT the retired last minute to cause them to take the Texas LT in the last draft?

Armstead did play for the Saints before, but most recently the Dolphins. Ramczyk retired this offseason too and he was on the Saints. He’s probably the guy you’re referring to. I’m not sure he played at all last year though. He’s had some injuries.

I’m not sure why it’s worded that way though. It should say “former” LT. He’s the one that retired and people thought the Dolphins would be a floor for Banks cause they needed a replacement.

Gotcha, yeah that's who I was referring to. It should say former LT, like you said. If you read some of the replies to the Tweet you can see a lot of people's confusion as well.

Probably the most concerning take I have seen on CW this camp. This is long time vet with no bias.
The processing thing was echoed by MIA reporter, whiny bittch Wingfield.

I think Ben Johnson's biggest challenge is going to be coaching the hero ball out of a guy that has hero balled his whole life. Short of Mahomes, that has never been a recipe for success. I want him to keep somewhere between 25-50% of that current mentality with the first goal to get it to his playmakers.

This is a bit of a tough thing to hear, though we’ve been getting hints of it from other reports too. Armstead says it clearly and concisely.

I probably expect this to roll into the season unless Ben peels back some layers of difficulty. I think Ben easily can, but the question will be if he wants to do that or not. If he doesn’t, I’d expect to see struggles and the media will pounce. While I would preach patience for any young QB, I also understand there’s probably not much patience for year 2 of a No. 1 pick.
