Flozell is deaf in one ear, and IIRC, it’s the ear towards the QB from his position. While it’s been discussed to move him to the other side of the line, the fact is that nobody else has shown the ability to anchor that position, which is, IMHO, the most critical on the O-line. The guard has linemen to either side on every play. The tackle has to protect against the inside rush and also sweep outside on an outside rush. Most defensive schemes now work harder on confusing the tackle than the guards or center. It’s also the blind side for a right handed quarterback, so a rusher is far more likely to cause a sack or fumble coming from that direction.

Totally off-topic, but I just stumbled on a news item from last April you guys might get a kick out of. Evidently, Maryland considered seizing the Preakness Stakes and the race track it's run on through eminent domain, just like they were trying to do with the Colts.
