Twitter: Zack vs Larry

[Mr Cowboy]

 

[MarcusRock]

Eh. Different guys, both great in their own rights. But give me Larry's nastiness and dominance and I can live with the 45 sacks allowed.

 

[BigStar]

Larry started out as a Tackle didn't he? I know he started at LT even later in his career. I think the T position is much harder to maintain at a top level vs strictly RG. Both HOF players.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Both are great Cowboys and HOFers.

IM still taking Larry stats aside on the field the physical play nastiness in the run game is where LA gets the nod and that what we are missing right now. OUR 90s OL was the driving force of that team. just big and physical with attitude. a great wall ES22 fed off that. it what we are missing in the payoffs now against the 9ers or say the commanders DL etc

 

[Hawkeye0202]

In other words, Zack's already a first-ballot HOFer........it's the way I see it

 

[McKDaddy]

Zack isn't in the same zip code as Larry. There is no such thing as the Zack Martin Flu.

 

[Stash]

I know who I want when I need the tough yards.

 

[starfan1]

as much as I like Zach and hes my 2nd or 3rd favorite cowboy hes no LA. in fact i dont think its that close. LA is not only the most dominant cowboy offensive lineman he might very well be the most dominant lineman to ever play .what zack has done is simply fantastic and i dont want to take anything away from him but if you had the privledge to watch both you would know there are just different levels of greatness and dominence.

Zach is the man but Larry was a beast and the better player. I do not recall any opponent getting Zachitis.

Do you honestly need to have it explained to you?

 

[Nova]

yeah, but there's not been a greater force at OL than LA in the History of the NFL

 

[blueblood70]

Do you honestly need to have it explained to you?

yes, some don't like guessing, i made my choice clear.. its easier to say Allen but lets be greedy,

I'll take LA as Best LG of all-time and ZM as best RG of all time as Cowboys.

 

[CATCH17]

Larry Allen is 1 of 1.

This is a no contest.


This is the problem with stat nerds.

Larry Allen might be the best football player in the history of the league.

 

[Stash]

My answer was Larry Allen.

For you and anyone else who somehow needed clarification.

Zeke?

[Stash]

Zeke?

I still think he’s coming back.

This from Fox Sports: He played every position on the line except center, gave up only 3.2 sacks per season — the best of any offensive lineman of his era.

Don't want to take anything away from Martin because he's been one of the top couple of guards in the business during his time here and like Allen, he will be a first-ballot Hall-of Famer. Allen with his raw strength and tenacity, though, was just a joy to watch as he beat defensive linemen into submission.
