Dallas Cowboys Adams Fined For Dirty Plays

Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams has been fined $25,000 for on-the-field infractions this season. The latest coming Dallas’ Monday Night Game against the Panthers when he tried to kick Carolina defensive end Julius Peppers.

Adams was also fined $5,000 in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for unnecessary roughness and $12,500 for kicking Giants defensive end Justin Tuck in the knee and attempting to trip Osi Umenyiora in the same game. Tuck ended up injuring his shoulder on the play.

“He didn’t mean to kick anybody,” Cowboys offensive line coach Hudson Houck said. “What happens is when you get out of balance, and you try to get your body over as best you can.”

Adams’ agent, Jordan Woy, said they will appeal the fines.

Tuck said after the Giants game that Adams’ move was a cheap shot and that he’s done it for years.
