Anyone else miss Larry?

When I see us consistently getting good yardage out of sweeps and screens the pain goes away.

L.A. never should have been cut in the first place...I don't care about the salary.

While, like you, I have sentimental feelings towards him, he has digressed into a ferocious straight ahead blocker... if he gets his hands on you , he will maul you...

That being said, in this offense, we need a solid pulling guard... LA used to be the best at that, but he isn't any more...

He was too costly to keep aboard this year. Yes, it sucks, but he won't be lacking of groceries this year...

sentimental is for suckers

pathetic

Yes, Emmitt was his last few years.

Good observation.

I can't help it, the avatar is just cracking me up.

Do not try to change my meaning kid ..... Emmitt was better in his last year than anything we have had since.

Show some respect

 

[SuspectCorner]

it was time to move on. we can respect the player he was without paying him for being the player he was.

he's one of the cowboys' all-time greats. his place in "the ring" and HOF are already reserved. if he wants to make some more money before callin' it a day - let another team pick up that tab.

I absolutely love Emmitt but he had lost about 3 steps at the end there. Troy Hambrick was playing better than him that year.

Yea that really showed the next year huh?

LA was a cornerstone of this team during the dynasty run in the early/mid 90's but it was time to move on.

So far Kosier seems to be filling in nicely and kudos to our scouting department for this find!

Sloppy as you may be... and taking into consideration your kiss-arse affiliation to our LA, you get a pass to post more... good stuff...

I was amused to see that LA refused to allow the SF press bait him into saying anything about Tuna, and that befitting his long time habit of saying little off the field, continued to display his authenticity by not getting emotional over his "return".

49ERS NOTEBOOK

Allen's Dallas homecoming no big deal to him
John Crumpacker, Chronicle Staff Writer

Saturday, August 26, 2006


Larry Allen may be many things -- fearsome blocker, awesome strongman, Rolls Royce owner -- but an old softie is not one of them.

Allen played 12 years with the Dallas Cowboys and earned a reputation as one of the best guards in pro football history. Yet he said he felt nothing special about returning to Dallas as a new member of the San Francisco 49ers.

"Not really,'' he said Friday as the 49ers prepared to fly to Dallas on their charter flight. "Just another road trip. Might be a little weird.''

Asked if he planned to speak to Cowboys coach Bill Parcells, who was not enamored with the massive guard the last couple years, Allen said no and added, "You trying to start some (stuff).''

DeLoach looks to play: DE Jerry DeLoach, who has been out the last two weeks with a knee injury, hopes to get on the field tonight and see if the knee holds up.

"I'll be suiting up. I'm hoping to get some snaps,'' he said. "It feels good. I'm just glad I get a chance to get out there.''

DeLoach has been in the league six years, long enough to realize that missing practice time imperils a player's chances of making the regular season roster.

"I know how the game is,'' he said. "Hopefully it hasn't (hurt my chances), but you can't control injuries. That's a certainty about the game.''

Briefly: Rookies Michael Robinson and Delanie Walker will get opportunities to return kickoffs tonight, but Maurice Hicks will be the primary return specialist in the regular season. Still, the 220-pound Robinson and the 237-pound Walker give the 49ers a pair of intriguing prospects for a job usually manned by smaller men. "We do have two big guys,'' coach Mike Nolan said. "There is a moment on kickoff returns when the hole opens for only so long, so you look for a speed guy.'' ... Guard Adam Snyder (biceps) made the trip to Dallas but will not play tonight. ... The 49ers have played the Cowboys 12 times in preseason, the last time in 1987. Back when the NFL spread preseason games around the country, the two teams played in Seattle (1960), Sacramento (1961-62), Bakersfield (1963) and Portland (1964-65-66). Only once did they play an exhibition in Dallas (1978).
