Will they try and re-sign him or are they going in a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Allen is still amazingly strong, but he is a shadow of his former self. He gets Pro Bowl votes on name recognition alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I agree with Sarge and Capt -- Allen is probably still a top-20 NFL OG, but not much more than that. I'd say Flozell Adams is quite a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Saw that one comin a mile away. Allen has been in and out of the Parcell doghouse for the past few years. He definitely doesn't have the dedication or drive he once had. The Cowboys need to solidify their line with younger players. Would rather have a young guy in there with potential rather than a pro bowler who doesn't play to that caliber any longer. Still sad to see him leave though. I believe he was the last player left from the Super Bowl years. Edited March 22, 2006 by Wolv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msaint Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think they'll re-sign him for less $, but maybe Belichick and his $20 million cap makes a run at him? Tom Ashworth and Stephen Neal are visiting other teams today and we could lose 2 more OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat2334 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 My sources are telling me Sea may have already made Larry an offer. Very interesting, I think he would fit right in at the G spot next to Walt Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 He might be an old dog, but he is still more talented than a lot of the o-linemen out there right now. If he is indeed looking for a 3 year deal, he should find one easily IMO. I'd like to see the Vikes go after him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 if the Eagles signed him to a 1 year deal, he'd be an upgrade over Hicks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Itals Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Does he have any decent tread left? 1381317[/snapback] That's an interesting way of putting it. For Larry, its all about the condidtion and strength of his legs. He had neglected them for a number of years, concentrating primarily on upper body strength. Parcells was on him to use a more well rounded workout regimen and Larry resisted. A few years ago, he had numerous leg injuries that really crippled him. Last year, it seemed that he had taken Parcells advice to heart and started to work on his legs more. He was their best offensive lineman last year, although a pale imitation of his dominant self in the '90's. Flozell had a poor year last year, even before he got injured.
