Why not Larry Allen?

[TheSport78]

I'll take Larry Allen over Cory Proctor any day of the week. We need to be able to run the ball consistently in December and we won't be able to do that with Proctor.

Why not Ralph Neely?

I understand the panic.

But please, lets be reasonable.

Little late in the year to be trying to bring a guy in who hasn't played a down of football in about a year. He'd be no where near in shape to play the game and he'd already lost a couple of steps since then. His run blocking would probably be Ok but he was part of the SF offensive line that was terrible at pass blocking last year and got their QBs killed. He's terrible in pass blocking now.

Thanks, but no thanks.

 

[Nors]

he's out of football some now and shot years ago

Didn't Larry Allen make the Pro Bowl in 2006 or 2007? He's still got some juice left I bet, especially when you put him next to 3 Pro Bowlers

Holy cow, I just posted a comment like this in another thread.

But he made the Pro Bowl! He just had a bunch of JAG's around him..

I have been echoing those same sentiments since Kosier first hurt his foot in preseason.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

because hes retired and im sure hes gotten fat as ever since.

We need some toughness on the offensive line. With the exception of Colombo, there's no real ATTITUDE that sets the pace for the offense..LA would bring that toughness IMO

Larry Allen the name might have made Pro Bowl, he was a shell of himself 3 years ago and late 2008-09 retired and out of the NFL.

I love the guy, but I am biased. Take him over Proctor turned around backwards.

Probowl, shmrobowl.

Allen was at probowls late in his career that he had no business being at.

I love Larry Allen, but he is where he needs to be right now.

Besides, Nors said he takes steroids.

I just think LA would help players around him also. Flozell was playing his best with he had LA beside him. Remember the 05' season? Flo was playing lights out before he got hurt against the Giants. You can hide the deficiencies of a guard by surrounding him with Pro Bowlers like Flozell and Gurode!

So why hasn't that worked for Proctor yet?

Larry Allen=Ty Law: A veteran that could help at a position where we are/were hurting and which posters will go on an on about the rest of the year, all the while our stubborn coaching staff has no plans other than to start Procter. Unfortunately, we are going to sink or swin with Procter or someone else already on the roster, if Kosier is indeed done for the year.

Because Proctor belongs in the CFL as a backup

He wouldn't be able to get into football shape till the next Presidential Election.
