Please Dumerville was abusing Romo all day. If you are using sacks as a measure of not hearing a name you are crazy.

Dumerville was making Romo throw early on throws because Flo was getting beat like a rented mule

The reason the penalties like Holding and tripping are him taking out a player that just abuse him and would have a sack

People put way to much stock in sacks as causing issues when QB pressures are just as important

Don't stop at Dumerville to prove your point. Continue on, we've played 5 games what did the rest of his opponents do?

Tuck was owning him until he trip him and hurt his shoulder once again a trip to prevent a sack

Tampa he played well.

Lets not forget Hali owned Flo all day and almost caused a safety if not for the sheer willpower of Barber getting it out of the endzone. Hali was able to put a lot of pressure on Tony most the day

Yes the same Chiefs defense that struggles all year was making Flo look like a rented mule as well. He had a couple penalties once again to kill drives because of his struggles blocking.

The best thing a team can do against the Cowboys is put a small speed rusher on passing downs against Flo

Thats BS, Tuck finished with 2 tackles and I believe Osi had the same.. If you don't like Flo, thats cool but look at his opponents numbers before you throw stones..

Tuck did not play the rest of the game he left after the trip with an injured shoulder in the 1st qtr

Once again you are using tackles and sacks as a measure we see Rat all the time not get tackles but cause RB to gain little to know yards caused just by his penetration.

Then again lets throw on the rose colored glasses and ignore that

That and pressures, what else would you use?

Flo was hurt for a good chunk of last year. He couldn't use one arm for like 2-3 full games, and we have so little behind him that they kept him playing.

He doesn't complain. He takes all the heat, and doesn't whine or snivle.

I'd love a young stud LT, BUT, I'd move Flo to guard in a heartbeat where he played for a few games as a rookie.

Flo is an underrated player. If we cut Flo, how many people out there actually believe 20 teams wouldn't be phoning him immediately. 2 of those would be Washington and Phili.

Yes, he is paid a lot of money. Yes he gets flustered and takes a penalty and when he makes a bad play they seem to come in bunches, BUT, generally, his guy is invisible, and we ONLY ever see him on camera when a bad play occurs usually.

We keep Flo because aside from his frustrating, drive killing penalties and mistakes - he is one of the best LTs in the NFL, and probably our best offensive lineman. Unfortunately the mistakes drag him down into mediocrity.

It's obvious they have little confidence in Free. It is his third year and you can count the number of snaps he has gotten on one hand.

I get tired of the yellow laundry he gets thrown at him but for the most part Flo does his job. Anybody else over there and Romo gets killed
