Reported before, why was he allowed to play with it when it was really hurting us. Hope this bye week helps him out.

Larry Brown said it on the pregame show last week. Said it's virtually the same injury Romo has.

Linemen can play with broken hands. All they have to be really be able to do is deliver a good punch and their stubs should be able to get a good block.

yeah well i think the punching will be less effective when youre using a broken hand and you can feel your nerves pinching through your body.

im pretty upset about Flo's situation, he stinks this year and he got paid.

I've seen Off Lineman with full casts still playing.

This has nothing to do with his fat body not moving to get in the way of a pass rusher.

I give on excuses for any of these players. If he's so hurt he should have went to the coaches and said he couldn't play. He didn't so he gets no pass on his poor play over the last six games.

I wonder how long he has had a broken hand. The only time they mentioned an injury to his hand was after the Giants game.

It's clear something is wrong with Flozell. The first 3 games of the year he was very good.

How far this line has come down since week 1 is our biggest issue, remember how much time Romo had to throw in the Browns game it was like a 7 on 7 drill.

I am gonna guess the last time Jerry ordered pizza for the team.

That's probably when Flo chomped on his own hand and broke it, lol.

I am seriously losing it people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did this team go from 3-0 to 5-4?

You can numb that puppy up well past the point where you'd feel it for games. O-lineman have been playing with broken appendages for 100 years...and not getting paid nearly what Flozell is to endure that type of pain.

I was under the impression it was an injury that limited his entire arm. A shoulder injury, perhaps.

Well he's been playing with a stinger for awhile. Basically a dead arm. I thought the hand injury was new. I didn't read any reports on it until after the Giants game.

Mickey Spagnola mentioned on Monday's Talking Cowboys to Nate Newton that he noticed Flo's hand was extremely swollen after the Giants game. Nate didn't know this, but said "something's wrong with Flo" because of his play. That's when Mick revealed to him about the hand.

Stinger, broken finger that he's played with for a couple of games and it is apparently swelled up pretty bad from an infection....before the Giants game, Larry Brown was saying that it looks terrible.

If it's infected, then it's gotta be bad. Dang. I already thought he was a prime candidate for healing up. This solidifies it.

So is this something that they feel is going to be good to go after the bye week and that all it needed was a couple of weeks rest or is this something thats going to be screwing with him all year? Cause frankly if he's going to continue to get worse every week, like he has been, then it's time to do something else at LT until he can get healthy.

Our organization looks like it sucks at handling injuries. If the guy had an infection in the arm, why the hell was he playing?
