Patrick Watkins...

And with regards to Flo...it's not even close.

I've been watching games on NFL Rewind (which is great) and his penalties are atrocious. When he blocks in the back, he doesn't even try to get an angle, it's an all out assault. I watched the Commanders game in Washington and he had a face mask penalty where he flat out grabbed it and didn't let go for five yards and he did the same thing against the Giants. It seems like every game on special teams when there's a flag you just know it's him.

He's a single handed indictment of out coaching staff. Do they discipline him, do they work with him, do they care? :bang2:

Gurode for close 2nd

staring at a screaming for the snap Romo

I do give him SOME leeway though. He is a great blocker. Watkins is just 6'5 inches of disappointment so far.

I thought maybe scoring the TD against Minnesota would give him confidence to be a playmaker and it did not.

He is a great blocker. He is just huge so its hard for him to move laterally at this age. But if he gets his hands on you its over. You cant have it all.

I'll bet you if he were released, he would be picked up within a day or two.

On the field Watkins just might be and I would love to churn him also. But off the field you have to give that award to newly acquired Gerald Sensabaugh.

Hope I'm wrong about him but I think this is that 1 yearly signing that we look back on like we do every year and just ask why we did it. I hear the reasoning right now, as I did the many in the past, but this move just reaks the same way similar past bad ones have.

So it begins. I was wondering who would be the next target.

Barbie Carpenter and Watkins would be 2 guys I would love see make an exit. Flo is still a good tackle. There would be teams lining up to get him signed if he was released. Releasing Flo would be complete stupidity.

No No it will be a tossup between Derick or Troy Hambrick :)

You mean the entire team is deaf in one ear?

Being deaf has nothing to do with it. Dallas asked him to wear a hearing aid and he refused..Flo is highly talented and plays tthat way only when he has to(like a contract year) The rest of the time he stands there with his hands on his hips watching Romo get killed or he jumps off sides.We are stuck with him and resigned him because the is no one to replace him..It will be a happy day when he walks his lazy butt out of Dallas for the last time:mad:

When did Dallas ask Flo to wear a hearing aid? I know that hearing aid technology has come a LONG way over the last few years. (I have worn them since I was in Jr High).

I recently upgraded to a hearing aid made by Phonak (Versáta) from an aid that was just 1 generation old and the difference was astounding. The sound is so natural that you forget you are wearing them (except for the fact that you hear people :p)

If Dallas did ask him to get an aid and he refused, there is no excuse. I have even had my aids on at the lower level at a college bowl game without any discomfort at all. He should at LEAST wear one for home games where its not so loud. Maybe Flo just doesn't know what he is missing...

Tony "No Block" Curtis, or is he even still on the team?

At this point I think you have to say Martellus is up there as well. There is a difference between stupidity and immaturity, but he hasn't exactly made the best moves so far. :(
