I will be mildly surprised if Flowers makes the 53 man roster. He stunk it up pretty bad last night. Numerous holding calls and false starts. Thats what he does best. When he isnt attempting to trip the DE running past him...

so you arent even going to consider that an aging statue type QB may have made good players look bad as far as line play? I never bashed Solder. I think he played ok. Nothing great. If you watch his game and even if you take away any plays where Eli folded Nate still had just an ok season. Its really not a hard thing to comprehend. I am excited to see Jones sooner rather later and I feel Eli is done, With that said it doesn't mean every player on the offensive was better than they seemed. A view like that is just wrong. The oline had issue above and beyond Eli just like Eli's issue were not all on the oline. IMO Solder is just an average LT who became available at a time of severe need for us at LT, thus his high salary, but I think he is good enough to hold down the fort until we can draft our LT of the future

He'll do fine

What is so odd is he had a pretty good rookie season with us.

Flowers is that guy you hope never has to start. Only if he plays on the team that you support.

Flowers actually played pretty well last game. Some of the other rookies, not so well.

Some of the other rookies, not so well. he's not a rookie.....lol I gave him the benefit of the doubt for a while but unless he totally changes his technique he will not play well . Drops his arms, poor footwork, and lowers his head so his eyes are not on the play.

Is he playing tackle or guard more then a few of these guys that train OLs say it will be worse at Guard for him because the action is right on him.

I hope the Redskins give him a lifetime contract. Be nice to see his pathetic play and terrible technique from the other side. Get used to drive killing penalties, with his dumb mug looking all confused. He thought his brute strength was enough to get by in this league. He found out real fast that it takes a lot more to succeed in the NFL.

He just has had a real tough time getting better. Not every player can get it done for varying reasons.

Think he has some limitations with his hips he doesn't bend maybe he just can't, he will bounce around as a backup maybe some day he will learn how to play around what ever limits him, could happen anytime if they don't get tired of working with him.

I did also .I actually feel bad for him. I think he was placed by circumstance into the LT position that he as not ready for. He became a cluster F of bad habits to compensate for his lack of knowledge that the position demanded.
