"Armstrong hasn’t been consistent off bump coverage," Shanahan said. "For him to get more time you have to beat bump coverage. If you can’t beat bump coverage in the [NFL], then you start coaching."

"I mean, [being able to give feedback to coaches] is probably not as much as you would like, you know what I mean?" he said. "Like, I made the statement to my coaches, I’ve been in this league for eight years. I’ve been to four Pro Bowls. I’ve seen a lot. I kind of know what’s going on, I kind of know how to prepare, I know what to expect, and I would like to be able to go in and say hey, let’s do this, let’s do that. But that’s not my role here, you know what I mean, that’s not what they want. They want me to go out there, play what they say and keep it moving."

"It’s almost like your little brother. Obviously you can’t go beat up an 8-year old. If you’re 15 years old, all you can do is keep training your little brother — hey, this is what we need to do, dude will come at you, throw your hands up, duck and weave, bob and weave, throw this punch, keep attacking em — but it ain’t much more we can do. We can’t, defensively, go out there and play offense.
