You know it!And in consideration for GOAT as far as RT goes
What an unfortunate turn of events!

Eric could have been as dominant as Larry.This, that was John Madden man, he loved the Big E.
Much respect to the late Reggie White......a great man......but Big E did have him whining to officials quite a bit, back in the day.Erik Williams dominated him so bad that he fled out of the NFC East lol
i lol'ed at thisDid Garrett clap after that play?
Remember this as plain as yesterday.......it was the first AND last play any player would embarrass Larry Allen.
That's what made Reggie so great. He had two main moves that looked almost the same, right up till the end, but we're opposites. An inside move and an outside move. If you were bracing for the wrong one this (the tweet) is what would happen. Reggie was a phenom.I still remember Erik Williams destroying Reggie White
And this actually looked worse than it was. Larrys momentum did most of the work for Reggie there
There’s a Larry Allen video I’ve been searching for and I haven’t been able to locate it. It was a MNF in 1999 against the Vikings and Emmitt had over 140 yards in the first half. If memory serves me correctly, Smith broke a Walter Payton record. Unfortunately, Emmitt got hurt and left the game in the second quarter. On one play, Larry Allen pushed 5 guys like he was pushing a sliding door open, and it gave Emmitt the largest hole I’ve ever seen to run through.
Does anyone recall that play?
There is nothing embarrassing about Reggie White doing that to you.
I mean, it's Reggie White for crying out loud.
I love Larry Allen, but Reggie White is one of he very few players in history that was better that his position than Allen was at his.Right? It happens to the best. Whole lotta defensiveness in this thread, lol.
Eric could have been as dominant as Larry.
So sad. He was never the same after the knee injury.
Reggie was the greatest DLman ever.I think he was the greatest defensive player ever.No offense LT.
sigh...No, he was not even close to the same.
Big E owned Reggie.That's what made Reggie so great. He had two main moves that looked almost the same, right up till the end, but we're opposites. An inside move and an outside move. If you were bracing for the wrong one this (the tweet) is what would happen. Reggie was a phenom.
But yeah, Big E had his number till Reggie cried about the hand to the face.
Pfft ... If EVERY:No NFL player, no matter how great, makes it through a career without a few embarrassing plays.
He would have made the HOF at tackle as well; but at guard he was arguably the best ever.Allen was lunging at White. Bad technique. He was not as good at tackle as he was a guard.
Wrong.I love Larry Allen, but Reggie White is one of he very few players in history that was better that his position than Allen was at his.
I believe that if we took this discussion outside of the Cowboys realm most people would believe that Reggie White was better at his position than Larry Allen was at his.Wrong.
There are a several DE's that are mentioned in the same breath as White.
Maybe only one or two with LA.
Problem is a DE is going to have a lot of spalsh plays; lots of plays that get attention. A guard will not. That is why you have this mistaken idea.
