Playing LB for the Rams, #50, and actually making plays.

So many people said it was his most natural position while he was here. Shame he never got put in the right position.

He just got shook by Kendall Hunter too on the 49ers last touchdown. He cannot move horizontally. I remember Lonnie Pryor shaking him bad in the '10 UM/FSU match-up.

It wouldnt have mattered b/c in the end he still wouldve had his Junior year railroaded and his career ended his Senior year w/o ever stepping foot on the field.

Ray Ray was still the best safety on our team his Freshman and Sophomore years, All Conference both years.... but his ceiling was definitely at LB.

maybe he got shook b/c it happens to everybody.... it has nothing to do w/ not being able to move horizontally.

As a LB he moves "horizontally" very well imo.

Too slow, heavy feet and no hip flexibility.

I remember a bunch of air-tackles and horrible angles. Perhaps with good coaching he could have excelled, but under Shannon he was doomed to failure- at any position.

He was not very good here at all.

2ND team all acc as a true soph 80 tackles and 4 int lets stop the hating on the kid was a solid safety and would have had a good jr year until the NCAA **** storm came out and ruined his career here. His own fault tho...

Too bad he couldn't have had 3-4 years under the current staff. Think of the possibilities if he wasn't living off muscle milk and top ramen. Easily could've bulked up to 225-230 and moved to LB.
 
I spot-shadowed him after I noticed he was in the game, and he didn't look anything like the guy that played here. He actually looked pretty good.

Funny thing is that the way he made plays from LB was the same way he made plays here from S. He fills the gap and hits you.

In the brief time I saw him play tonight, it was obvious to me that LB was and is his position. I'd imagine his natural tendencies that hurt him at UM will show (like biting on a play action and leaving the FB or TE wide open), but I am going to predict that he plays in the league for a few years, maybe even a starter at some point.

He is playing well for the Rams and they see him and Ogletree as their future starting outside LBers.

They are almost identical athletes both having played safety before and w/ similar builds. Ogletree is better right now, but Ray Ray has the potential to be as good as he is. Those 2 could turn into a dangerous tandem if they can avoid major injury set backs.

He missed a tackle on that last touchdown run by the 49ers. Looked very similar to how he tackled here. He can make plays but also gives up the big play.
 
over hyped....every since that oklahoma game when he knocked demarco murray on his *** (after an 8 yrd gain). People including me thought he was gonna be great. That ish ended the next yr when slow *** danny coale was routing him, and actually out ran dude into the endzone in that 2010 game vs vt.....maybe with better coaching he would have been better....but so far, jenkins has done better in that 26 jersey then he ever did

I don't know if Armstrong will ever amount to anything, but what I do find absolutely hilarious is that the kid is playing LB in the NFL when you had people on here repeatedly saying over and over that he shouldn't be moved to LB while in college because he wasn't big enough and would never be big enough due to his body type. Oh yeah, I remember "insiders" who "saw him up close" spewing that nonsense often.
 
I'm sorry but Ray Ray never wanted be a LB here, he can say that all he wants but he was stubborn and stayed at S.
