Larry Allen: Should we sign him

STPainmaker · 03-22-2006, 09:55 PM

No thanks. He's old, fat, and oft injured.

That Guy · 03-22-2006, 10:35 AM

jeff mitchell is the best choice currently available.

It would be quite tempting to take a Cowboy great, have his ass sit on the bench and wear a Redskins jersey. The Boy fans would hate that. But I think with the money we would pay him we could get 3 other lineman that would be more usefull

The Boy fans & some of us would hate it!
Dockery is solid if unspectacular. The coaches have praised him & unlike T. Jacobs for e.g., he's shown improvement. They all say he has a lot of upside, this will probably be the year he shows it, as he's a free agent in 07. No way would it be good for us to insert Allen in his place, & Allen would just be collecting checks before retirement if he was 2nd string.
Plus, I hate signing ex-boys!!

Has anybody thought of what this might do to Dallas' chemistry or lack thereof? Is Allen a leader or more of a problem lately. I know tuna had issues w/him.
Remember him grabbing cortez by the face mask? When I think of that now all I can think of is him grabbin TO like that. Now he won't have the chance unless they resign him.
Bayless on espn.com said that the TO signing was a huge mistake & that the boys have lost some of their leaders. He said that before Allen was cut. Now that he & Keyshawn are gone, I can't think of any player they have that will get in TO's face.
Allen's release might have a bigger impact on the boys than tuna is ready for.

Larry Allen has a chronic bad knee. It used to buckle on him on a regular basis during games in the last two years. He is damaged goods and his playing days are numbered. He will retire soon.

Sociofan · 03-22-2006, 11:18 AM

He's old and he's broken.

That Guy · 03-22-2006, 12:10 PM

F that washed up cowgirl....our days of funding over the hill cowpies retirement funds are over.

EXoffender · 03-22-2006, 01:52 PM

Hell no!

We dont NEED a starter, so I'd rather us sign a young linemen with some skills and potential...instead of a lazy other than game day guy who has very little time left.

The upside of a young player could be huge, while Allen would be a here/now with no future plans....in my opinion.
