“A Gentle Giant” - Rich Eisen on the Way-Too-Soon Passing of Cowboys Legend Larry Allen

[@michaeldailey7103]

He was the best O-Lineman I ever saw play !!! RIP Larry !!

[@Spockthinks]

I’m 52 and this freaks me out. He was awesome!!! 🙏

[@joeking6309]

Troy and Emmitt owe a bit of their success to Larry. RIP big guy.

[@RDX1981]

i agree

[@RRR-ox9ud]

I don't think they win the 3rd without him. Amazing how bad you have to be as a GM to get Larry Allen 1 SB.

[@ericmatterson9905]

​@@RRR-ox9udHe was on the team only 5 years....he came during the tail end of the dynasty

[@ulyseeslorenzosutton1772]

All of the Triplets 🙏🏾

[@laconfidential8504]

RIP Larry Allen 🙏 One of the strongest men, if not the strongest, to ever play in the NFL.

[@garysouza95]

Never forget him running down that New Orleans Saint. Amazing.

Well, "only the good die young" just added another notch to its belt. LA was THEE BEST EVER. RIP LA and thoughts are with his family. Mean man on the field, a gentle giant off it.

Best guard to ever play. Incredible talent

[@ShawnC.T.]

Wow, how eerie is the photo @ 2:17, Larry Allen and the the late Mark Tuinei, number 71, two members of one of the greatest OL's in NFL history, R.I.P. to the both of them...🕊

[@stangman2006]

I loved watching Larry as a kid what an extraordinary athlete. Truly one of the best at the position without question. RIP Mr. Allen.

Rip Larry Christopher Allen Jr, you will be missed

[@jeffwillard9621]

Thank you Rich for that!!

[@krismatic06]

man, what a blow. Im a chicago bear fan - but man larry allen was a beast for the cowboys. One of the best O-lineman ever!

Larry is now resting easy, one love to the family 🇺🇲💙🇺🇲

Linemen Period

R.I.P. to L.A. Cowboy fan since ‘71

[@ARIZJOE]

Larry was a road grader. Never saw anybody like him. I'd call him the best guard ever.

[@RonaldCoomer]

I was never a Cowboys fan, but Larry was the best of the best....

[@JuanMartinez-do5lg]

Larry Allen was just a man among men playing the game. He could turn on the switch and be an absolute beast on the field, then turn around and be as pleasant as possible. RIP big man.

[@dc1397]

Prayers to his family.

[@travisspazz1624]

Top 10 guard all-time. RIP

[@mikegoolsby2731]

GOAT guard. Unquestionably

[@jrodlange8099]

He's way better than just too 10. Personally, I think it's dealers choice between him and John Hannah for the number 1 slot. And just trailing those two guys I'm going Randall McDaniel. Regardless, sad to lose this man. Prayers for the family.

[@paulbabuscio8949]

My heart aches for Larry and his family! One of thee most vicious and talented lineman in NFL history! A gentle giant as well!

[@LawerenceNormanII-rk1yt]

I idolized this man.

[@PaulGaither]

You are not alone.

[@dennissaunders5247]

R.I.P LARRY ALLEN. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY. HE PLAYED AT SONOMA STATE. ONE OF THE G O A T S.

[@dr.awkward9075]

Noooo. A truly sad day for Cowboy nation. Maybe the best O-lineman of all time. Remember that time he chased down that Saints linebacker on MNF?

[@shawnwright323]

I met hetmet our local pub in Chico, California.When he attended Butte college and he was an incredible athlete then and he was intimidating, but he shook his hands.This was a powerful man and I told him good luck.I told him he was gonna have about it from another disc.Jockey that was at the club called Madison bear garden . Rest in peace larry allen and god bless you and your family for life prayers to you guys

There should be a statue of Larry outside Cowboy Stadium carrying Aikman, Smith and Irvin on his shoulders.

I love the story about him saying choo choo and running over his opponent constantly....RIP Larry Allen

[@brooklyn7189]

Giants fan and honestly I’m stunned… this is absolutely horrible 😢… RIP to one of the all time greats

[@kevinmaedel481]

Greatest OG ever

[@SlugSage]

There is no Cowboy dynasty with Larry Allen. RIP

[@RRR-ox9ud]

True! Winning Back to Back is great buy its not Dynasty material.

[@TheBlueDogMan]

@@RRR-ox9ud the Cowboys won three Super Bowls in four years during the triplets time there. Tom Landry also had 20 straight years with a winning season with the Cowboys. I’d say that qualifies as dynasty.. There’s an additional two other Super Bowls for the total of five that they won under Tom Landry in the 70s. Dynasty for sure.

[@York-Isles-63]

Just absolutely heartbreaking 💔 thoughts and prayers to to the family friends and fans my Mount Rushmore off offensive lineman the others i can't decide on but one I'm 100 percent sure on is Larry Allen

[@jaymorr2414]

Might be the most dominant offensive lineman ever. Crazy can't stand the cowboys but I grew up loving Larry Allen

[@zelbongrimmage3770]

My condolences to his family

[@Tim.1113]

An interview with Justin Tuck told it how good LA was. He faced him when LA was older but he said how strong he was and there was nothing you could do about it.

[@MikeKollin]

Wow... I went to High school with Larry. So sad...

[@ryanstoopes188]

It's no mystery that Frank Gore had his best season running behind big Larry Allen

will be missed big time. I always felt they could use him on DL in certain situations and he'd be as dominant as Charles Haley.

[@cgruthless49erstalk58]

He will be missed. Cowboys legend. Finish his career with the 49ers. Best Offensive Guard to ever play this game. Strong man. Play against him you are pancake. Rest in peace Larry Allen. Responsible for Emmitt Smith and Frank Gore success.

John Madden loved Larry Allen the way he did Brett Favre, Reggie White, Gilbert Brown, and Lawrence Taylor.

[@allenhughes12]

Larry Allen played at Butte but he was drafted out of Sonoma State.

[@stevenkloepping2953]

If he had been mean my god he would have had to been outlawed.

[@-Thunder-Warrior-]

Bro! No way!!

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

If I had to pick a team to win one game, gun to my head, Larry Allen would be the first Guard I selected. Just a beast of a blocker. On any other team Zack Martin would be the best All-Time, but not the Cowboys.
