Id at least like to hear if he communicated with the coaches about not being there. Entirely possible he had some other personal commitment and will be there tomorrow or something.
Still not a good look...new coach, new position, youd think a professional would plan his offseason personal commitments around OTAs.
Do you guys not understand that word if not lets help those in need.
done, given, or acting of one's own free will.
"we are funded by voluntary contributions"
synonyms: optional, discretionary, elective, noncompulsory, volitional; permissive
"attendance is voluntary"
Right tackle is a much less demanding position than Left Tackle
so he doesn't need to attend. In fact, he can skip OTAs, preseason and the regular season as well because "air" actually provides more resistance to the pass rush than Flowers... Perhaps he can get a job working the next DRC hotel party???
We can only hope and pray that Wheeler and Bisnowaty are making great progress...
Not only did OT Ereck Flowers not show for day one of #Giants workouts, confirming @art_stapleton report. But Flowers was the only player on the roster not there today, per source.
the whole 'It's voluntary' thing doesn't work for me in this case because of the new coaching staff and such. If he doesn't have a valid excuse for not being there, he deserves all the crap he gets.
Not only did Ereck Flowers not show up, he was sighted at the Paramus Mall with his fat ass parked in one of those orange swivel chairs in the food court, - Che palle!
Was asked the of question about if anybody was not there and he said that he didn't do a head count and only dealt with the offensive guys, how he didn't know flowers was a no show.... liar
New coach supposedly called and said he'd be flipping sides of the line. Essentially learning a new position. Three years a starter with mixed results, at best, as a #1 draft choice for the franchise. And a pretty tenuous ending to the previous season, with some real concerns different levels.
Yes, I want to know if it was excused/expected for a decent reason. But in the absence of that? Thin ice just sprung a huge crack.
A word used to placate the league when describing events that you're expected to show up for, especially when your job is on the line
If it's that important, feel free to blame the owners for approving that part of the labor agreement. Make it mandatory. They didn't, for whatever reason. Likely, because they traded it for the right to keep more revenue. So how important is it?

I blame everyone- the players for insisting on a sissy offseason/training camp schedule and the owners for ratifying it. But mostly, I blame Flowers for being a dumbass
Bullshit. It's not voluntary when you don't have a startring job and a new HC is looking to get his team together for the first time. A major problem with the Reese/Ross approach to talent acquisition is they acquireed way too many dummies.

Hang him first. Ask questions later.
Sheesh...
Its possible. Still needed to vent even if premature!
What a clown.
Time to say good bye.
The guy's problem isn't weightlifting. They can't put him to work on technique yet. Strength and conditioning is not where he needs work.

Not a good look for Flowers. Does he want to be cut? Does he want out? Maybe that's it.
