Twitter: Larry Allen/Reggie White throwback

[Hawkeye0202]

Remember this as plain as yesterday.......it was the first AND last play any player would embarrass Larry Allen.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah, Allen was overrated.

Thanks for sharing this classic video. I wish it was Allen pancaking White instead though!

2 NFL heavyweights

 

[NeathBlue]

Erik Williams dominated him so bad that he fled out of the NFC East lol

That has to be Thanksgiving 1994 because Garrett is the QB. The Big E was in a car crash that sidelined him is why Allen is in there. Read an article once from one of White's team mates. Said Reggie barely talked after playing against Erik Williams , said Erik beat him up , beat him to a pulp.

I believe Allen got him later in the game. And I also believe Allen was playing with a hurt right ankle or knee that game

 

[KJJ]

That was Allen’s rookie season. White tossed him aside like a ragdoll repeatedly with a hump move. Plus Allen was using poor technique. It wasn’t just one play it was several. It was painful to watch! If you told me then that Larry Allen would end up being a first ballot Hall of Fame player I would’ve laughed.

Definitely in the conversation if not the best for best offensive lineman ever and I'm not being a Cowboys homer.

 

[unionjack8]

Go back to him with how big nasty made him basically quit in game

 

[CowboysJames69]

If I remember opposing defensive linemen would get sick or have phantom injuries as going against him was so physically and emotionally draining. He was just so dominant!

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Now show him against the Big E don’t think that ever happened. All I remember was White complaining and whining after the game and when they ask the Big E he said I am not a dirty player just play a physical game. This was the pre accident Big E.

 

[CWR]

Wasn't he one of the ones who would literally fake sick not to face Allen?

I remember Eric Williams shutting Reggie White down and earning Offensive Player of the week.
If Erik did not screw his knee up in that car accident, he would certainly be in the HOF.

And in consideration for GOAT as far as RT goes

I believe Larry had his payback game with him before he fled GB and dominated him.

 

[StarOfGlory]

Did Garrett clap after that play?

 

[Tenkamenin]

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?

This, that was John Madden man, he loved the Big E.

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

No NFL player, no matter how great, makes it through a career without a few embarrassing plays.
