Re: Larry Allen: Should we sign him
 

[QUOTE=That Guy]you gotta be careful when your "critical backups" are high injury risks... and the older they get, the harder it is to heal quickly.[/QUOTE]


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 :(
