SI.com: Players on the decline--Cowboy mentioned

[CrazyCowboy]

FLOZELL ADAMS, OT, DALLAS
Despite earning his third Pro Bowl nomination in 2006, Adams fell below his previous playing level. Still recovering from a torn ACL, he lacked the quickness and agility to handle speed rushers. Considering Adams massive size, it's not surprising he struggled with finesse rushers, but in the past he did a better job of overwhelming them with his power. :bang2:

This is true...hence the drafting of Marten and Free.

 

[Vintage]

He gave up 7.5 sacks last year.

 

[Hostile]

This qaulifies as truth, not hatred. Therefore I cannot embrace it.

 

[burmafrd]

Since he WAS recovering from a ACL, you really cannot say how well he will do THIS year. He did play better later in the season.

 

[Big Dakota]

I've been on the "Replace Flo watch" for a year. I'd be shocked if Jerry gave him a big deal next March.

 

[jay cee]

He would have to play better than he has ever played before, for me to want them to sign him to another contract.

I'm really hoping one of the young guys comes around well enough so they can allow him to walk after the season.

This comment is pretty much what I saw out of Adams this past season. Hopefully he will have a much better season this year.

Me as well, but I am willing to chalk it up to the difficulty of coming back your first year off an ACL injury. If the suckage continues this season, then we have real trouble.

Of course, according to FO.com we ranked second in Adjusted line yardage to left tackle in the NFL.

Does anyone know of the 7.5 sacks that Flo gave up, how many were of Bledsoe and how many were Romo at the helm? Just wondering if the statue contributed to more of the sacks.

I was looking for splits, but I couldn't find them.

I was curious to see if Flozell actually got better as the season went along or if it was myth.

 

[STSINAZ]

the end of the road is near for flozell...good thing we have 3 possible replacements! now you guys know why we drafted a few of them

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I will give Adams somewhat of a pass since he played one year after coming off an ACL injury...

 

[speedkilz88]

Michael Strahan should be on that list.

 

[TheSport78]

Doesn't it generally take one season to recover from this injury? Flo should get a pass from 2006 b/c of the knee, especially considering his frame as it would take a longer duration of time to recover with his mass. I'm expecting a big year from Flozell this year because...

1. Another offseason to rehab the knee
2. Playing in a contract year knowing it will be his last big contract

 

[31Rwilliams]

I think flozell adams will have a big year, even though he didn't have a good year last season he was coming off an injury to his ACL

I'm not worried about Flozell...I think the Cowboys have some young upcoming talent to give him a rest during games that are already out of hand...
