But, not for the reason everyone thinks but because he was coming into the game cold.
1) He had barely been on the field and wasn't targeted on any pass plays until then.
How's this for pressure his very 1st NFL pass target was a stutter fade in the RZ against a top NFL CB/bitter division rival.

2) Armstrong was the wrong choice on that particular play was as Ruhskins pointed out: Cooley was more open for a much easier throw and catch if McNabb had waiting a nose hair longer.
The worst part is that Cooley was open again on the second play too.

I'm sure this is one of the plays McNabb regrets from the game that he mentioned in his press conference and on his radio show.

I've read a couple of places that Armstrong was the right read on that play because of the blitz Dallas came with..

On the more general topic, I expect that Thomas will be the #2 WR by season's end. He's put together some good games last season and once he earns Kyle's trust/respect I think he will earn a role in the offense.
