Anthony Armstrong demoted again
Anthony Armstrong - WR - Washington Redskins
Nov. 7, 2011 - 4:05 PM ET

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan explained Monday that Anthony Armstrong is out of the running for a starting job because of his inability to separate from press coverage.

Armstrong has lost his starting job again, this time to rookie Leonard Hankerson, and has just five catches for 47 yards on the season. "Anthony hasn't been as consistent as I'd like, just getting off bump coverage," said Shanahan. "He knows that. He's been getting better. If you can't beat bump coverage in the National Football League, then you start coaching."
