Hey Yakuza,

Do you think you could give me an estimate on how much Flozell's false starts hurt him?

Thanks.

This isn't right. Jordan Gross made the Pro Bowl.

 

[RoadRunner]

I think Flozell has to be the worst. Leads league in penalties, and now its common knowledge that oppsoing defenses put their best speed rushers on Flozell for easy sacks and constant pressure on Romo.

Add to that the fact that he is one of the most overpaid players in history as far as contract dollar to on field production, and yeah.....

 

[Sarge]

Flozell is overrated . . . as is our OL in general.

 

[Cbz40]

Very true Old Wise one.

Thank you for the report YR.

 

[Eskimo]

Flozell is overrated . . . as is our OL in general.

Luckily we got him locked up for four more years at an exorbitant salary.

Flozell gave up 7.5 sacks this year according to STATS, Inc. That's about the league average for left tackles. Last year he gave up 3 sacks. Flo was actually second in penalties, first was Kwame Harris who did it in 11 games.

We ran the ball very well to the LE (aka Right Defensive End), but only so-so when we ran at LT (The Corey Procter effect). Last year Flo finished 11th and penalties killed him. This year, I think Corey Procter and being banged up hurt Flo.

That being said, I'd like to see a guy that's a bit more mobile and doesn't make as many penalties at left tackle.

Can we draft a LT in the 2nd this year? Anybody worthy?

 

[DragonCowboy]

I'll admit to being completely unknowledgeable about this, but did Colombo have any experience playing at LT and Flozell Adams at RT?

Is this even an option?

If Colombo, who seems to be playing better, could cover Romo's blind side, wouldn't it help reduce the amount of fumbles that Romo has?

Is Free ready?

People seem to forget that our OL was pretty good when Kosier was in there. We sucked - badly - when he was out.

 

[burmafrd]

The Hotel also had those injuries this year so its not ALL his fault he sucked.

 

[TheCount]

Good lord, 27th? That's awful, just awful.

 

[2much2soon]

I was wondering how Clady would rate. The times I saw him play this season he just dominated, toyed with the guys facing him.

Based on what I saw the last few games, Colombo would have Romo in a coffin by game 3.

honestly, we need to draft 2 Tackles, and pick one up in FA, and let them battle it out, the best man wins, the loser gets the boot.
