Is getting killed and "pancaked" everyday in special teams drills. If he can't play special teams, he isn't making the team.

London is playing the BEST special teams out of anyone on the team right now. London is playing himself into a job.

Armstrong looks to be the odd man out even at this early date. He better pick it up over the next couple weeks if he wants a roster spot

I always said london was going to make the team over armstrong.

I said Hartline will make the 6th WR. Armstrong will make practice squad.

I don't think we will carry 6 WR's

We would be stupid not too. Camarillo is still not 100 percent, regardless of what he says. Plus you can bet one if not more will get injured sometime throughout the season. we have 6 solid wr's and 2 decent ones, for a total of 8 good wide outs. I would rather have Hartline over Camarillo. Turner over london. Bess over Williams. No to Wilford in general. Then have London, and Camarillo as back up's special teams.

Sporano is now saying he will prob only keep 5 WR's.

Ginn, Cam, Bess, Hartline & Turner....looks like London and Armstrong could both be s.o.l.

I don't get it, 2nd year in a row Armstrong starts out in practices fine, then fizzles. He's got to step up soon to make the team. He's fast, I'd like another fast player on the team besides Ginn.

we haven't even played in the first preseason game yet. He's got time to make them consider keeping 6. I want to see him at PR or KR, not covering them.

Armstrong can't play special teams. If your a 5th or 6th WR in this league you MUST Play special teams. or else you tie up a roster spot.

London is a special teams standout.......he is making this team

Hince why your just going to see us keep 6 wr's. Its logical, we have ALOT of solid wideouts.

CB Nate Jones is getting some work as a punt returner, returning to the role he thrived in at Rutgers.

Hmm. I like Nate. He's doing everything he can to solidify a roster spot. You can't knock the guy for trying. We drafted 2 hot CBs and Will Allen is playing lights-out. Jones may have trouble hanging on as just a CB.

He is also the nickle CB. At least he was last year and did pretty well and he is still working there this year.

True, but until we outright cut Jason Allen, Nate will feel the pressure.

Pressure from Jason Allen? Now that is funny.

Make that three long receptions this morning for WR Anthony Armstrong, who hauled in another strike from Pat White while on the scout offense. This time the victim was top CB Will Allen. - CBSSports

WR competition is getting stiff.

Speaking of Anthony Armstrong, he had an excellent practice on Saturday morning, catching three touchdown passes as he beat Jason Allen, Will Allen and Vontae Davis.

Anthony Armstrong has flashed big play ability since the off-season workouts back in April and May. He came up with several big plays over the past two days and reporters say he has looked very good. However, he needs to find a place on the special teams to take the final roster spot away from Brandon London. To that end, he has been playing as a "gunner" on the special teams.
