On Tuesday evening, we showed you how old habits die hard when it comes to Cowboys tackle Flozell Adams and his propensity for tripping opponents.
The NFL was looking at the same footage of Adams kicking Julius Peppers, and decided to fine Flozell $7,500 for the offense, according to Todd Archer of the Dallas Morning News. That’s $5,000 less than Adams was fined last week for leg whipping Justin Tuck, and $2,500 more than Adams was fined in Week One for an unnecessary roughness penalty.
(If only the league kept track of records like most consecutive weeks with a fine. Adams could be football’s Joe Dimaggio.)
Cowboys running back Felix Jones was also fined $5,000 for an attempted leg whip against Carolina. Jones is fully expected to miss this week’s game against Denver, but was coy when asked about his status Wednesday, saying “we’ll see.”
