It was interesting to see Flozell Adams playing RT next to Larry Allen at RG, Gurode at C, and Walter Jones and Steve Hutchinson playing the left side. It was also interesting to note that most of the pressure on the NFC QBs, Romo in particular, came against the left side of the O-Line.
I though Adams did a great job at RT except for a couple of plays in a row where for some reason he just drove inside and completely ignored the DE coming from his right. In both plays the DE made a tackle behind the line. But other than that he pretty much stonewalled anyone he actually came up against. I think a couple of times a guy he was blocking got pressure on Romo from the back side of the pocket but that was because no one was open and Romo was holding the ball a long time.
Flo was a RT in college and was projected there in the NFL but we already had Erik Williams at RT when Flo was drafted and Tuinei had just retired at LT so we put him in at LT and he's been there ever since.
Part of the reason he was projected as a RT was because he is deaf in his right ear, making it difficult for him to hear the snap count when he is to the left of the QB.
I have always wondered why we didn't move him back to RT where he belongs and look to bring in a top LT. I guess because it is easier, and cheaper, to find a RT than a LT. Still, I believe he would be much more effective at RT than at LT and he showed it in the game last night.
