You know Larry Allen and Derrick Thomas are going at each other now in heaven RIP Derrick Thomas and Larry Allen two legends gone way to early

[@kanagawa85]

Long live legendary Derrick Thomas

[@chachmon5180]

For real... DC was the man

[@impitt28]

Miss Madden so much! G Greatest color commentator

[@DoubleStar92]

RIP LA! 😢

[@KTF0]

Chester McGlockton was also a beast.

[@DannyHoldStatenislandny]

John Madden loved Larry allen

[@kanocano22]

I wonder how'd be a match between Larry and Aaron donald

[@highlightcastle]

Same

[@scottrackley4457]

Larry's kryptonite was the Minister. Reggie could do whatever he wanted against one man, and that included Larry.

[@robertderexsonii6033]

​@@scottrackley4457I seem to remember the minister not having much luck at all against Eric Williams 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@elbowgang9715]

​@robertderexsonii6033 and I remember when he said Larry, not Erick. Cowboy fans seem to forget that Williams was as dirty as Richie Incognito. That knee injury was karma for all the eye pokes 😂😂😂

[@IKEBULLTV]

Who’s idea was it to put Larry Allen at OT he is strictly a guard.

[@PO-nd1bb]

Necessity

[@Richie3Jack]

He was a very good RT. But he wasn't meant for LT. He was decent at LT, but as a guard he was one of the greatest ever. They were filled with injuries on the O-LIne that season.

[@bazatronmurphy8596]

Brutal hit by LA

[@mitchellspencer9213]

Larry Allen was the BEST lineman EVER. No comparison whatsoever. DT, you were absolutely one of my forever favorite players. You would've shattered that sack record if it wasn't for that fatal accident. A true legend at that Edge spot.

[@user-ib8kb3qj7d]

reggie white put allen down with one hand he ain't the best ever

[@patrickarrington3871]

​@@user-ib8kb3qj7dDT got 7 sacks in one game. Can't say the same for Reggie.

[@elbowgang9715]

​@patrickarrington3871 Reggie got damn near 200 sacks. Derrick don't even have 130 😂😂😂😂😂

[@wolf764]

Was DT better as a standup rush lb or hand down de? Im a 90s baby so i didnt get to watch him play tbh

[@blackalgorithmist000]

Stand up

[@mitchellspencer9213]

Both. He and Lawrence Taylor were the ORIGINAL Edge defenders.

[@PinkyThumbs]

Raiders fan in me hates derrick thomas. god damn was he good though

[@speedyfinalmile]

It was a mistake making him a down lineman.

[@Tone22845]

Guys like him you always want them standing up as a pass rusher

[@speedyfinalmile]

@@Tone22845 I think it was Gunther Cuttingham and he was one of the best. I think he was over thinking at the time.

[@nicholausnoga2033]

Man Troy is 💩 this year

[@williamtriplett]

Guys D.T is doing this to the best lineman of that era arguably the goat this man dominated go and watch his and Reggie whites battles and that would show u all u need to see

[@williamtriplett]

@clot shots oh come on bro I mean don’t get me wrong Allen was a true beast out there I watched him and Reggie go at it and to have 1 sack against him is an accomplishment but D.T. got 2 on him that game plus put Aikman out with a concussion I do believe so that’s what he did to L.A. so don’t u think that counts for something because a lot of the greats in that era can’t say they got 2 sacks in a game against arguably the greatest lineman of his era if not the greatest ever but I think your missing that point 2 legends going head to head because that’s what both of them are in every sense of the word u don’t have to like someone to be honest about them and I’m sure if you made an A.L highlight he would be rag dolling ppl because that’s what he did same as D.T he specializes in going after your QB and he gets there more often than not no matter who he lined up against he was a threat and he was not to be taken lightly and him going around L.A like he did in that game is a testament to his greatness 2 sacks and taking the superstar QB out of the game is what he did bro plain and simple

[@williamtriplett]

@clot shots but he bro I’m not attacking your comment at all so don’t take it that way

[@williamtriplett]

@clot shots But u have to admit it only took one good hit to get aikman out of there and Allen could have dominated him all game long but at the end of the day D.T. Also did what he did which was hurt your QB but bro I’m not knocking u on Allen because he himself was an impressive player as well go watch his and Reggie whites matchups brother that will tell u all I need to know about Allen and the accomplishments of just getting one sack on him

[@williamtriplett]

@clot shots my bad bro and yea I agree there my man he was the best and strongest lineman I have ever seen and man let me tell u I hated Dallas but damn if that wasn’t the most dominate offensive line I ever saw and there is a case to be made that they was just as dominate as that old school raiders offensive line the shell and upshaw line if u know what I mean
