I keep hearing that he played with "one arm" last year. What week did he injure the arm? I thought he actually played pretty well the first 4-5 weeks, so it's some time after that right? I'll also ask you guys if you think there are any LT's this year that we should take a flyer on. I still believe we should use our first round pick next year on one because the odds of us finding a legit LT to groom in rounds 3-7 are slim to none.

they said after the arizona game, in the post game interview, that flozell couldnt raise his arm above his shoulder, thats what i remember hearing; he also right in there somewhere damaged his finger, and puss was forming on one of his fingernaills so he couldnt hand punch effectively

Right after he signed his contract extension in Feb. His desire was lost for the season. Oh, you ask when he hurt his arm, don't know sometime between week 1 and 16.

I'd be happy to just know what the coaching staff actually thinks of Doug Free.

Is he developing and worth keeping or soon to be tossed on the great Vaquero scrapheap?

Free obviously needed weight room work, but it kinda hints at what they thought of Free and McQuistan when they allowed Adams to play 2/3 or more of the season with a couple of significant injuries, including the arm.

Yeah, he definitely got what they called a stinger in the Arizona game (Week 7?), but I believe that was an aggravation of an injury I think he sustained in Week 5 against Washington.

Not sure how the arm made his feet move slowly and hips unable to swivel, though. :)

You'll get a good read on that after this weekend. If they take a LT prospect pretty high, there's your answer.

I'm in a boat.

My boat believes in drafting, stockpiling and developing offensive line talent.

But my team struggles mightily at doing just that.

Which sucks.

So I want to draft OL while at the same time I don't.

We are horrible at drafting and or developing )O-line talent and have been for many years now.
Simple....use free agency to get the O-line talent (yes, I know it's expensive) and use the draft for the other positions.

this is why i don't understand all the talk about Duke Robinson and not a LT. it was most likely a fluke that both our left guards got hurt(i mean seriously how often does that happen) ya know? but what happens if Flo gets hurt? we have nobody at either backup position.

Evidently Flo stays in the game unless he gets carted off.

If the staff is not liking Doug Free as the Motel, we need to do something Saturday to try and find our next LT.

I'd rather not wait until Flo has to be replaced, and he may have a few more seasons in him, but let's try to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Adams hurt his arm and had smashed hands. One hand got infected if I recall correctly.

BIGG would be put at LT since he's got some experience there. He isn't that great there but miles ahead of Free. So Holland would be taking over at RG.

If the guy is injured, he souldn't be out there hurting the team, and make no mistakes about it, he really did hurt the team.

You hate Romo if you put Bigg at LT, cause he'd get terminated.

I hope Flo is healthy and returns to being dominant with a few false starts!
