Larry Allen: Should we sign him

bertoskins · 03-21-2006, 10:10 PM

If there is an opportunity to sign
him we should get this ex boys

It depends on how much he money he is going to want. My kneejerk reaction would be to say yes and let Dockery be the depth for us. However, Larry Allen isn't getting any younger and I don't think there's any way you can convince a guy like him to come in and be a back up. Dockery's young and is improving. I don't know if bringing Larry Allen would help Dockery or hurt him. Allen is an experienced vet who is great when he's healthy, however, he'll probably be too rich for us and I don't know that we necessarily need a starter.

He benches like 700lbs, and the plus side is he could probably eat the opponents, I am sure thats some kind of penalty tho....

If he really benches 700 pounds, and it's not an exaggeration, I'll show you my nuts. Lol

you gotta be careful when your "critical backups" are high injury risks... and the older they get, the harder it is to heal quickly.

I just thought this line was funny, and how no one commented that our backup guard last year was what, 10 years older than Allen is and stepped in and played well.

And I think Allen at age whatever he is, is still a better guard that Dockery is. Dockery is in the same mold as Allen, both are huge guys. He could probably learn somethings from him, Cowboy or not. But I would still want Dockery to start and get better. Allen will stay a Cowboy before he becomes a cheap, vet coach for us

Allen has always been an overpowering guy who relied on his god given strength and agility while Ray Brown is a consumate technician. I think age, wear and tear will effect Allen more. The other thing is I don't know much about Allen if he's an ass or not. I don't want him f!@#'n up the O-line dynamic. Lastly Larry Allen isn't gonna play for free meals and a place to sleep like Ray Brown.

you know that ray brown only started 16 games in his first 7 years, right? that's a lot less where and tear. ray brown never had a history of injury problems, and last year in the seattle game, he DID have troubles which forced raymer into the RG spot for what seemed like forever
