Nate Newton: Flozell jumping offsides because of hearing problem

I know when we drafted him, they said he was deaf in one ear and he may be a candidate for RT.

Also, just to paraphrase what he said about what he and teammates would do and what these guys won't do (I think these are true stories):

If my Tackle was having trouble with Lawrence Taylor, I would tell him in the huddle to bring him inside and I am gonna to punch him in the gut or crack his ribs. When he did that, that got Lawrence Taylor off of thinking about getting to Troy Aikman and he had to deal with us.
