[@Pyrex238]

How in the world did the film of larry allen running down that interception not make this compilation?? Its probably his most famous play.

[@uruiamnot]

Try this: (Hint, it's a highlight) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIDHqYCnoryCabM Maybe the fastest OL in the modern era, running down a 100 meter sprint machine DB.

[@mykull666]

If you notice the number of the guy he ran down, it was 58 which isn't a DB's number. Only LB, DL, and OL can wear a number in the 50's and DBs can only wear 20-49. Darion Conner was a linebacker.

the fact he is 95 is crazy. should probably be top 30

[@jimwhite1061]

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

I don't have a problem with his rank due to the very long history of the NFL. Keep in mind that there are tons of great players who missed out on the television era. Lots of names you don't know.. from decades before you were born. The fact that he's on this list is quite an honor.

[@jimwhite1061]

@@PapaEli-pz8ff Larry Allen IS the strongest player in football history. Emit Smith set the nfl rushing record running mainly behiend him. Emit Smith was no Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, or OJ Simpson. He didn't have to be because he was running behiend a line that created running lanes like they did. Larry Allen was the dominant reason. I've played football and coached and have been a specialized line coach teaching technique. I don't buy that players past about 1970 could compete with elete today, because of specialized training. When I was in high school most athletes played the 3 major sports. They went out and played each sport as it came. Not so today, any player serious about the sport trains, and gets training, all year around. That starts in high school now. So I'll say it again Larry Allen IS top 50, probably top 20.

[@DennisSpurling]

I’m recently become a Larry Allen fan. And after careful review of “The Play” in his rookie year where he ran down the linebacker and saved the touchdown; I wanted to know just how fast he was ran. Larry started running on the 38 at yard line at the hash which is 70.9 feet from the the sideline. He caught the Linebacker on the sidelines at the Dallas 16 yard line. Approximately 46 yards (or 138 feet) from the Opposing teams 38 yard line. Using the a2 +b2 = c2. I calculated that Larry Allen 51.69 yards (or 155.07 feet) from the hash mark at the 38 yard line to the 16 yard line. Using a stop watch I timed it at 5.66 seconds from the time Larry took off until he made contact with the opposing player. My next question was how fast did he run. S=D/T indicates he was traveling 27.39 feet per second. This doesn’t sound like anything until you realize that a 40 yard dash is 120 feet. This means that Larry Allen a 330 man on that day could have conceivably ran a 40 yard dash in full football gear ran approximately 4.38. There are other factors and all my measurements are based on the film available but nevertheless that play is truly an amazing Human feat of strength and endurance.

[@clownindan]

If he even ran a 4.5 for his size and strength that would be amazing. If he really hit sub 4.4 speeds that is truly superhuman

[@solomonkessington8136]

I know this is a joke. Larry is one of the greatest offensive lineman to ever play the game, but you know, offensive lineman aren't fun to watch. I find them amazing to watch, shoving someone on there ass.

#95 is ridiculous. He's a once in a lifetime lineman/athlete. His strength was unreal of course, but his footwork with that power.All the years of Allens career, Aikman was never sacked more than 19 times a season. Was All Pro at guard, and had to play tackle one season and made All pro. Voted by most experts as the best lineman in history. 12 pro bowls. No injuries in 10 years.Gave up 2 sacks as a LT. That would be #1 about any year for a LT.

Possibly the best OL, regardless of position, to ever play.

RIP LA, you were an inspiration to me, I played my ass off in HS wasn’t any good but I never quit

When I saw him tackle the man who intercepted the ball I knew right there that he was my favorite player

[@7srchoed]

I keep coming to this one. Allen & Randle

[@super28sisko]

R.I.P. to one of the most amazing physical specimens in the history of humankind. Just for shits and giggles, what kind of contract could he command if he played today?

[@iAintSayDat]

5 years 85 million?

[@super28sisko]

@iAintSayDat that sounds reasonable. If he was in his prime I was thinking $20 million a year for a 5-7 year contract...

[@iAintSayDat]

@@super28sisko Seeing how the highest paid now is 4 years 84 million it probably should be 5 years 105 million

LARRY ALLEN VS AARON DONALD..WHAT A MATCH UP!!!

[@brianwolf6166]

Being a Cowboy fan, I recorded almost all of their games from 93-99 and would literally watch Allen every play ... he would always hit his man then block at the second level ... he always would hit and run through at least two guys and if another linemen engaged someone while Larry was free, he would maul that poor defensive player ... they have outlawed those cleanoff hits basically.
