02Scheme fit
Ideal system
One-gap 4-3 aggressive penetrating front with opportunities to drop into a read-and-react zone pass coverage.
Wide-9 DE5-Tech DERush OLB/Joker
Best role
Year 1 rotational pass rusher who can develop into a starting 4-3 defensive end.
Wrong fit
Two-gap 3-4 defensive end whose responsibilities are to eat blocks and occupy space rather than penetrate.
Armstrong's quickness and length are best utilized in a scheme that prioritizes upfield disruption and allows him to freely attack gaps.
