He absolutely did. You can have the best quarterback or running back in the league, but if you don’t have a decent line, none of that matters.
The "big uglies" won't get the commercial contracts... but the Rings don't come without those warriors who often play every damn snap when their side has the field and either need to create a hole a bus could drive through or shut down the opposition between the hash marks. *edit add ---- the footwork that a big man like that has to have AND the longevity he had?.... crazy mad freak of nature
You are so right
great blockers make great runners
@@soynobody2741 same with Walter Payton man
They also didn't show how fast he is , there's a play where he chased down a linebacker to save a touchdown
That play was unbelievable.
Yes, You can't show anything about Larry Allen without showing how a man that huge could run that fast. When I first saw that video I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought that someone had sped Larry up some type of Photoshop style. These guys need to react to that video on it's own. Larry Allen was 6ft 3in 325 pounds. He not one of those guys who weighs heavier than they look. He looks like he is all that 325 pounds. That's why you eyes don't believe what they are seeing. I wish there was a way to do an addendum to this video and add that video of him chasing down that linebacker.
I believe he ran a 4.85
There's a chase down play on a turnover they left out, the speed on this guy was almost more amazing than his strength for someone his size.
I'm not sure how you can have a Larry Allen clip without that chase down.
@@kellyhh1371 Exactly, put in perspective it's as impressive as the DK chase down
Yep, the commentator rightfully pointed out what an impressive feat it was. I think he said in his initial reaction it was one of the most athletic things he'd ever seen and he is right.
Came here to say this! They have to watch it. Insane
Ran down a linebacker after being behind him. I saw that live and I could not believe it.
6 foot 3 325 pounds. Larry was an absolute UNIT on the field. He also ran a 4.8 40 yard dash time.
His game speed was more impressive then even that. When He ran down that linebacker he was moving faster then that. It’s not abnormal. Jerry rice had a horrible 40 time but watch his highlight and he’s dusting people after the catch. 40 speed and Game speed are often two different things. 40 is just as much about technique and form as it is actual speed. I’m suprised they don’t just ditch the 40 and clock top speed and acceleration rate at the combine(I’m sure they do but the 40 is what gets talked about)
Wait...how does NFL films not show the greatest play of Larry Allen's career?!? That LB rundown is the stuff of legends. Great job Blokes!
Larry Allen should be Higher on this list. Offensive Linemen are criminally overlooked.
Y’all should do more of these top 100 all time videos. They’re great and very informative
genuinely would be very interested in that
I requested this video through patreon. I intend on requesting more top 100 to come
@@NickGodfrey please request earl Campbell he’s #55 on the list
@@Keff34 already did, should be on here within a few days
At 3:54 when talking about if Emmitt Smith benefited from Larry Allen.... The answer is Definitely! Although he has the most rushing yards in NFL history but many people don't consider him to be a top 3 RB of all time because He benefited off of so many great players that most great running backs don't have the privilege of.
Some people are idiots. Emmitt was winning rushing titles before Allen came along.
Larry was an absolute beast but Emmitt had 3 rushing titles and Dallas already won 2 SB before Larry was drafted.
NFL Films is half the reason I became a diehard football fan. The Cowboys won two championships before they drafted Larry Allen (and added a third). You've probably seen the play but now you have context: you gotta watch when Larry Allen chased the linebacker down the field on the interception. There's also a great clip of the great Reggie White wrecking Larry Allen's shit with his patented move :)
I loved Larry Allen. NFL is a team game and the unsung heroes never get enough credit. However, everyone recognized Larry as one of the best OL ever.
Funny thing about this compilation is that almost all the players larry allen blocked in that video were future hall of famers. Sapp, Randle, White, Thomas, Greene. Just gold jacket after gold jacket and he man handled all if them.
As a Cowboys fan that grew up in the 90’s dynasty…this one made me smile.🥲
I saw a report once that defensive first contact on Emmitt Smith was 2 yards beyond the line of scrimmage in those early 'Larry Allen' years - and then 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage later in his career without that rare offensive line he had early on in his career. Definitely makes a difference
Larry was 6'3" 325lbs. I remember when the Cowboys drafted him and I thought, "Where the hell is Sonoma State?" It's a shame he only got one ring. Blame Jerrah for that.
Sonoma State is in Rohnert Park California has an enrollment around 6,000
Because of what Sonoma California is famous for you would think that Sonoma St. would be a place where you learn how to be a wine maker.
And that was back when 300lbs linemen were not that common.
I think if you gave Barry Sander a Larry Allen his career would have been borderline video game
His life is an incredible story "Meet The STRONGEST NFL Player Ever... " by nonstop sports
If your curious to see how athletic Larry Allen is, check out a video by KTO called THE MOST ATHLETIC BIG MAN.
Rip Big man. Absolutely Amazing athlete and just as amazing person. Will be missed.
Incredibly fast for his size and power. Like freakishly fast. He was one of the best pound for pound athletes among football players of that era. Offensive linemen are chronically overlooked for their contributions to their teams, but Larry Allen (and Nate Newton and others) were major parts of the Super Bowl success of the Cowboys throughout the 90's. They had an incredibly dominant offensive line. They would manhandle opposing defenses and were way too explosive off the ball for their size, punching huge holes for Emmett Smith and leading crushing up-field blocks. Troy Aikman, Emmett Smith, and Michael Ivrin owe a huge portion of their successes to these offensive linemen.
You gotta watch a video of JOHN RANDLE! that's the guy who is talking. He's was very good player and trash talker. 👍🍀
Part of the reason why Emmitt Smith so great.........He had Larry behind him.
To me, the best analogy I ever thought of was that the offensive line of an NFL team is a lot like your body's immune system. If your immune system breaks down, your vital organs will be affected and could also shut down. You could say the coach is the brain, the QB is the heart, the RBs and WRs are like the legs and arms; etc. If the immune system breaks down, the rest of the body won't function properly either. There really isn't anything more important than a healthy immune system, it's the first line of protection; thus the same goes for an offensive line being the first line of protection for the skill position players.
Imagine Office Bloke Chris moving like that 😆
Larry Allen was listed at 6'3" and 325 pounds. So not the biggest guy to ever step on the field but he is a big boy that's for sure.
Daz is right, your offense goes as your offensive line goes. The game is won in the trenches... You blokes would love reacting to John Randall being interviewed in this video. He made this list as well. Charles Woodson is another HOFer you should look into.
Yes he was! I'm a long time Eagles fan and he is the reason Emmitt got all those yards! You run behind him and he didn't get touched for 5/10 yards! Lol
They didn’t show arguably one of the best plays by an offensive lineman ever! Larry Allen chased down a linebacker after Aikman had thrown an interception. Tremendous athlete for his size
Reggie White was the only defender who could take him on.
That’s over 2 Shaquille ONeals, he could bench press. 😅
Generally it’s a symbiotic relationship with blockers and skill positions, they both get better with each other
His step back was because it was a passing play - offensive linemen cannot cross the line of scrimmage before a pass is thrown.
This whole series was really good, Johnathan Ogden is another mammoth human whose video you might enjoy. I really enjoy seeing the lineman play, it's integral to the game but few people pay attention to it.
This dude is in the top 100 for elevating his teamates. Linemen are rare in these lists.
need to see the "larry allen choo choo" tape with justin tuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Football is won in the trenches. As a teams offensive and defensive line go, the team goes. They are the foundation of their units.
Awesome video.
Look at Emmitt Smiths Highlight and decide if he should be considered among the best. I believe so. That being said, I definitely think he benefited from the great o-line. Heck , take advantage of what is there. Football is a team sport, and the team, along with his abilities, got him the record. Not the best running back but among the best.
Yes
LOOK at the clip where Larry Allen runs down a line backer.
Offensive lineman go forward on run plays, backwards on pass plays. Even Larry Allen. Just saying.
He played for one year at a near by Community College, was not a pretty sight on the opposite side of the ball.
You guys should check out Rob Gronkowski - Gronkumentary from original bored film. A little long, but one of the best tight ends. Shows how many injuries these guys go through and why they can have such short careers as well.
Dude was a glass cannon
Best nickname of all time, the land lord
Someone request the Troy Aikman on Barry Switzer video. That is hilarious every time I watch it 😂
More in living color on patreon would be hilarious
You guys need to check out John Randle undrafted player for the Vikings who made it in the Hall of Fame.
I'm a big Cowboys hater but LA is my favorite offensive lineman ever. A true unit and the strongest player in NFL history.
Still can't believe he was ranked 95
You should check out “NFL Films turning point”
You should see the video that shows his speed
The answer is no. E. Smith wouldn't have done half the stuff he did without Allen. Absolutely not. Smith was really slow actually. He was fortunate to have Allen.
The O line is very important obviously
They left out the greatest play when he ran down one of the fastest players there was. For that size he moved like a damn gazelle
you should check out Jonathan Ogden, 6'8, 345..possibly the largest human to play in the NFL
The vikings had 2 guys who were listed at 6' 8" and at least 345 lbs at the same time. Bryant Mckinney and Phil Loadholt.
You should check out the Bo Jackson story. Kudos to Larry Allen.
Can you please watch a documentary called 30 for 30, ELWAY TO MARINO.
Yall should check out his linemate Nate Newton who got caught with 1k lbs of pot in total. The Redskins had thr best Oline in the NFC east in the 80s and beginning of the 90s then the Cowboys had the best. Both prolific winner. Also Brandy at least when he was with the Pat's spoiled his Oline when then did great.
Y’all should react to nothing but Joseph Vincent football reactions he has the football videos on youtube and documentary’s about athletes period
Larry was over half of that line
95 for Larry Allen? Blasphemy.
RIP Larry Allen. Died yesterday on vacation in Mexico
He threw that redskin about 5 feet and the dude slid another 10
As a Giants fan who saw him play a ton, he was one of the dirtiest players in the league on the field.
6'3' 345lbs and fast
You guys have to react to earl campbell please!!!
that was way too short to appreciate him. watch a better video, sometime. he was probably the best offensive lineman to ever play. should be a top 10 player. whoever put him at 95 out of 100 needs his head examined.
I believe Jay Cutler would have had an at least comparable career to Troy's had he had Troy's elite offensive line throughout his career. Jay Cutler was physically and statistically superior to Troy Aikman in almost every category but interceptions and sacks - the latter largely due in part to very poor protection.
Of course he contributed.. hes highly regarded as the greatest offensive lineman in nfl history.. buuuuuuuuuut Aikman, Irvin, and Smith were already back to back defending champions before Allen got there..
Now please do John Randle.
Disappointed they didn’t show his greatest play.
You can't get around LA. Have you seen Greatest big man moments? You'll see why there is no go around him.
Yes those cowboys were great but slightly overated skill wise individually because they had so many weapons that teams couldn't just focus on one guy. Unlike someone like Barry Sanders who was the only great player on that team. But #34 Sweetness. Goat of football.
Hello everyone
larry was a guard not a tackle. Guard is a less athletic position than tackle.
Fly Eagles Fly 🤘🤘
Reggie White was the only guy who could toss around Allen. Even after he went to Green Bay.
Emmitt Smith would be the first to tell you that he benefited from having Larry Allen as an offensive lineman.
id recommend hall of famer troy Polamalu's highlights, you guys have reacted to him in a few compilations. the man was the best safety in NFL history
He was a beast. Made me hate the Steelers 100x more than I naturally did. Plus he had great hair!
donut op is cringe
English guys covering football? Foh
He was 6ft 3in tall and weighed 335 pounds
