Larry Allen -- Possible pick up? (Third thread lacking descriptive subject)

[WVUforREDSKINS]

NO!!! I don't want any life long Cowboys to be on the Redskins....Its just not right!!!

[Dickens]

Former Cowboys in Redskins jerseys don't work out for us. It's bad karma.

Brandon Noble

Deon Sanders

James Washington

Am I missing anyone?

[The Animal Trainer]

That's a great idea. Just what we need, another old, washed up cowboy to come finish out his career here. Larry Allen is on his way down, like a friggin tree falling in a forest. You are out of your mind. Do you not remember the Deion experiement? Unlike the cowboys, I think Joe Gibbs has more sense than to sign a hated player from an arch-rival who is past his prime.

"dont mention this punk's name again. I sick of it Nick Novak ..."

why would you call him names? he made every single kick (when the o line actually blocked) in his redskin career - if he missed that kick in OT we would not have made the playoffs

if you think his trajectory is too low, take a look at the blocking on the kicks that were blocked - both times the o lineman was so far back mark mosely would have been blocked

[winterps]

oh, and nfl radio said larry allen benches 700 pounds

[TC4]

Former Cowboy

That negates any and all possible considerations as to him being signed by the Redskins

[PotomacSkinsFan]

I'm sure he want to start somewhere which he wouldn't here.

i think he would start here, but I don;t want to sacrifice the long term (development of Dockery) for the short term.

and, we dont have enough money to sign the best guard ever.

[MossFan89]

Since he got released... should we pick him up for our O line??? Or do you think hes too old???

yeah hes pretty old but, damn hes still a beast man serious..:dallasuck

[deskskins]

Well we all knew this thread was comming good post.

[TheGreek1973]

Are you guys kidding me? I would love to have Allen here backup or starter and I don't think he will be too expensive because he just might think that with Gibbs and Saunders he just might add to his SB ring collection. think about it if we offer him a 3 million 3 year deal and a chance to compete for a starting job against Doc. That and the fact with a guy like that on your roster your OL becomes a very good one (just like KC had) I think it would be a huge upside to have Allen.

[BigRay]

He will be too expensive and yes he is getting old.

[DC_Skins]

Vet minimum with incentives

Someone had to do it..

[Louie 14]

If $ is right, go for it. I hate D but you have to think with the head.

[Abshir]

Just say no to the cancer that is "Dallas Alumni" --- Larry Allen can eat it

[hailskins26]

bad idea- spend that money to keep dock who will be in his 4th yr (Allen is 33).

[dent19]

if we could get fro cheap ...HELL YEAH!..... the guys a man beaast....... i'd take him over Dockery any day

Dock could learn a lot from this guy......

Yes. Get him. If Ray Brown can make our team at 43(?), then Allen could easily play for us. Plus, wasn't it Allen who slapped the Cowboys kicker in the head in one of their games this year. I think it was the Seattle game. That was nice. Larry Allen, Samuels, Thomas, Raubach, Jansen, Dockery.........do it.

[Riggo#44]

Definitely too expensive.

Also, Allen would want to be a starter and our starting o-line is set. Right now, we need depth that we can afford. And I always hate signing former Cowboys (see James Washington).

Name one former Crackboy that has come here and did squat: Washington, Harper, Galbreath, Gesek, Turner (Worst Head Coach ever!), Noble, anyone else? They all blew goats.

:dallasuck

[Henry]

Definately take a look at the guy. If he's willing to be a backup you have to try and get him. He could start for half the teams in the league still, he's gone to the pro bowl as a guard and tackle, and he'd be great depth for us.

As a starter? Nah. Cohesiveness is as important as talent on the OL, and we'll be starting the same guards and tackles for the fourth straight year this year. Considering how well our line played at the end of the year, when Rabach settled into his role, I wouldn't consider bringing ANYONE in to replace one of our starters at this point.

But as a backup? Hell yes.

[SteelerSkins]

he might be too old and i bet dallas will make every effort to sign him at a discount . . . who knows, though?

i wouldnt want'em . . .

[bigbaby]

That Is A Stud If We Get Him Our Offense Is Set. Our Recviers Will Have So Muchtime To Get Downfield. Thats Is Just What We Need. Lets Get It!!!!!

[Jay Master Jay]

It wouldn't hurt to talk to him and if we could win a starters position so be it. We need a veteran back up to play guard and tackle. He fits that role very well and if he would accept a back up role sign him up.

[SkinsLover]

...maybe he can bring a copy of the playbook along with him :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ...oh wait we really didnt need the playbook last year....

...seriously, isnt he the guy Tuna always moaned about that was consistantly overweight...that he was always needing to trim down????

:dallasuck

[Jay Master Jay]

TUNA wanted to cut the guy the moment he met him so his lost should be our gain. It seems like a good fit and will make Dockery get some nastiness in him to fight for his job.

[SkinsOrlando]

I say bring him in for a visit, can't hurt and hell the guys still got something left in the tank.
