And Then That Happened... E-mail

So, as  you can see here, the Steelers have apparently agreed to terms with former Cowboys LT Flozell Adams on a two year deal...

This, of course, comes as somewhat of a surprise considering they looked at him like a month ago, and never made him an offer at the time.

I imagine that it's possible they wanted to let him shop around and realize that at 35, he's not exactly worth the $3 - 4 million he was looking for, but then, we don't know how much they've agreed to pay him, so speculate to your heart's content.

Either way, Tomlin's now got two massive LTs in the 6'8", 345 pound Max Starks and 6'7", 338 pound Flozell, and one equally massive decision to make on who to move to RT.

But being that it's Thursday, July 29, let's not forget what's really important here - tonight is the premier of the new season of Jersey Shore.

Kidding.

What I really mean is - tomorrow, in Latrobe, PA, Camp Tomlin begins...

Steelers football is finally back.

Dust off your towels, and dry all your offseason tears.

The 2010 preseason is about to begin.



Here we go...

    I like the move. Adds depth and lets the young guys learn.

    That's pretty much where I'm at. Do I think Flozell Adams is the best Tackle ever? No, but I do think he gives them a better option than what they've got on the bench.

  • Noah  - I would think

    That they would move Starks to right tackle since LT was what Flozel played for like 12 years, but that's just me.

    Negative. He's a natural LT. The Steelers moved him to RT when they drafted him because Marvel Smith wasn't going anywhere.

    is it true of wise one (sarcastic) that flozell adams is deaf in one ear? and doesnt it make sense to think that he should play with his good ear towards the QB whoever that might be?

    I heard that Flozell was deaf in one ear (his right I think). If that's true, I wonder if that will have an impact on if he's RT or LT.

    Get thee back thine cruel mistress known as NFL off season! Rejoice for football has returned.

    FOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWLLLL!

    ETA: Damn, Leenis' comment wasn't up when I clicked on this. Sorry for redundancy.
