ESPN NYG Justin Tuck Chat blurb: Flozell toughest o-linemen he's faced

[WoodysGirl]

John.C(Bethlaham Park): Justin, Who has been the tougest O-lineman that you have faced so far in your career?

Justin Tuck: Flozell Adams. He is a huge human being.

Yeah Flo is a mountain of a guy... He and Davis actually block out the sun. :laugh2:

 

[gr8slayer]

No surprise, I just hope he can keep up the high level of performance. He's on the decline and it's going to get a lot harder to stop fast/athletic guys like Tuck.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

TUck is just trying to soften up the behemoth lol

 

[theebs]

osi said the same thing two weeks on espn.

Honestly I don't see the decline you're speaking of, I just think Adams has an issue with silly false starts.

It's pretty clear that he isn't what he was five years ago, and it's completely understandable considering his age. Even in his decline he's still a top four or five OT in the league, nothing wrong with that.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

that was a good pick by him

Last year was definitely the best year of his career.

Decline???????

What decline? He's playing at a Pro Bowl level. He's at top five NFL LT. Whatdayawan??

You must not have seen him 5 years ago. Or this last year, pick one and go with it

 

[gr8slayer]

Last year was definitely the best year of his career.

From what perspective? I saw a guy who is getting slower with his kick step and is bending at the waist more than ever.

Five years ago the offense as a whole was horrible and he was the only positive thing it had going for it. It's easy to look past his flaws this year when the offense did as well as it did but they were there.

 

[Walker]

Last year was his best season of his career. Hopefully he continues to dominate. Anyone seen him in training camp before? The guy is huge.

I think you need your eyes checked. But thats just me

So elaborate on why you think he's actually getting better not worse. I see a guy who is getting older, has some 'injury issues,' still bends at the waist and is getting worse, lacks the ability to get to the second level, relies far too much on power and not enough on technique, and has bad footwork. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand that with age these skills will continue to diminish. As it stands right now, even with his flaws, he's no doubt still a top tier player; but that doesn't mean he's perfect or too good to go uncriticized.

what injury issues?

technique doesn't decline w/ age, or do you think he's getting senile at the old age of 33...

Flo never was the most athletic OT, he relies on his size, strength and arm-reach to be effective, last year he gave up like what? 2 sacks?

 

[DallasDomination]

You guys know why he's saying that right?..For the guys that watched the first game between Flo and tuck. Flo knocked him on his butt one time it was sad. The rest of the game He was neutralized. One of flos best games. he needs to have more of them, hopefully in the playoffs.
