Cowboys | Adams could be benched
Fri, 13 Oct 2006 07:19:59 -0700
Clarence E. Hill Jr., of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells left open the possibility that OT Flozell Adams could be benched if his play does not improve soon. The Cowboys could turn to rookie OL Pat McQuistan to replace Adams.

He should be put on notice.

He's played like a bum in the two losses.

In fact he was a major contributor in the two losses.

And his problem is not physical - it's mental.

Mental lapses and missed assignments.

When he plays like he's capable, he's a fine tackle and the entire offense looks better.

When he doesn't, the entire offense claerly struggles.

I expect him to rebound with a solid effort against a weak Texans defense but if he doesn't he should sit.

Anyone could be benched.

We live and die with Flo this season. Let's all remember that he was rusty as hell coming in camp, got hurt, and didn't play much at all until the first regular season game. He stunk it up against Jax and Philly -- but those are pretty good lines. Now if he hasn't gotten it together by game 8 or so, then we've got some serious issues.

this will be the best week to bench him

The only way you will see McQuistan this week is if you rent Mask. So get to your video store if you are so hot on the guy.

He gives us the best chance to win.
He has experience.

I agree with the Bledsoe part, he also should be put on notice with Flozell and P. Watkins. It seems everyone is put on notice but Bledsoe.

His pass blocking has to improve and that's no joke. Kosier and Flo need to work better together as well.

You cant put a rookie on the same kind of notice. Even Bill said he would handle Watkins differently.

Oh, I see... you are lumping Drew and Flo and Watkins together because they are all STILL making rookie mistakes... I gotcha!

Yeah, and when we see Pat struggle, largely due to being an undrafted, raw but somewhat talented rookie ( so says BP ), most will be screaming for FLo to come back.

Why has our OL been so average or worse for 7-8 years? Remember Emmitt getting whacked in the backfield as he got the ball from Troy, then Q, then.....

Remember Troy trying to run for his life, then Q, then Vinny, then....well you get it.

Who is to blame?

Pat was drafted in 7th round, no?

Lots of people said (myself not included....) that maybe not having Larry there for the first time in his career would effect him.

These people might be right. That, in addition to his rehab, is no doubt causing him some problems. He and Kosier should move in together.

You are correct, my bad. But the sentiment of my entry still stands.

I don't know if its mental with the knee, or he missing LA, or he just ain't good any longer.

One of the things I've noticed is that this team seems to go on how well both Adams and Bledsoe play. If Adams plays well, generally Bledsoe plays well. And if that happens, Dallas usually does pretty well.

great news.

benching Adams would be a prelude to benching Drew.
