Flozell fined again

3 weeks in a row now that might be a record?

MetSox17 · 09-30-2009, 01:11 PM

It's all good. He has been shutting down DEs week in and week out, so it's cool.

Fixed for you.

MetSox17 · 09-30-2009, 01:17 PM

Gaines Adams, Osi Umenyiora and Julius Peppers all got shut down. Like i said, it's all good.

Giantsfan1080 · 09-30-2009, 01:25 PM

Gaines Adams sucks. I can't wait for someone to leg whip Ware which causes an injury. We'll see how you feel about it then.

DMWSackMachine · 09-30-2009, 01:29 PM

I have never heard such whining and moaning over something so trivial in my life. Since when is tripping a dirty play? It happens every game, I saw David Deihl try it on Ware TWICE last year when Ware was tearing him up. It happens every game. Its not a like a crack back, a low hit, or a blow to the head, its just a little trip. Don't fall down if you don't want hurt. Pretty simple.

DMWSackMachine · 09-30-2009, 01:30 PM

And yes, at this point I haven't seen a better LT this season than Flozell. He's taken the best the NFL has to offer and shut them out.

LOL i'm with you, i have no idea since when it became such a disgusting thing to do. I'm 100% positive that it wouldn't be such a big deal had Tuck not been a little girl and hurt his little shoulder as he was falling.

Giantsfan1080 · 09-30-2009, 01:33 PM

Since when is tripping a dirty play? It's an automatic flag and obviously a fine.

If your going full speed and someone trips you your pretty much going to fall that is kinda how it works its called gravity.

Giantsfan1080 · 09-30-2009, 01:34 PM

Hahaha Tuck's a little girl. Riiiiiight.

Except, he wasn't going full speed.

awfullyquiet · 09-30-2009, 01:39 PM

lets see about dumervil next week!

MetSox17 · 09-30-2009, 01:42 PM

We'll see. He's smaller and very quick, but i still think Flozell can just out muscle him.

I think so too. He's a quick little bugger who can get around people.

Flozell repeatedly breaks the same rule and it's not dirty?

Homerism. Defined.

And that Diehl argument seems familiar . . . everybody's doing it . . .

Peppers shut himself down. He was getting blocked by TEs. I wouldnt worry about Flo getting nuts out there but let's not talk like he's any big prize.

M.O.T.H. · 09-30-2009, 02:30 PM

I obviously dont agree with the tripping, it has no place in the game...but, when he's not tripping guys, Flo has been fantastic this year. It's early but, he looks as good as he did in 2007. Great sign.

So how exactly did he shut himself down?

Is this a joke or are you being serious? Adams didn't just trip Justin Tuck, he flat out kicked him just above the knee. Yeah, it's so simple to stay on your feet when someone kicks you in the leg while moving.

Poor effort, he was there at the point of attack several times and let guys run right by him. Maybe Flo scared him.

Giantsfan1080 · 09-30-2009, 02:49 PM

Flo has been very good this year but that's not the problem.

DMWSackMachine · 09-30-2009, 04:21 PM

He broke a rule and he got caught and punished for it. Whoopdifreakindoo. This happens all the time. We're talking about a league where the vast majority of players like to quote the old saying "if you ain't cheating you ain't trying" for cryin' out loud.

And ROFL at the guy who said this:

That slaughters me. Tuck was standing almost entirely still when he was tripped. He had been engaged in a block, disengaged from Flozell and had a clear path to the QB. He was in no way, shape, or form running at any speed, let alone full speed. He was just barely taking a step to accelerate to the QB from a standstill. What a laugh.
