Larry Allen’s stature as a guard
|
| Cowboys OG Larry Allen is far and
away the top guard in the NFL, according to the player ratings that Joel Buchsbaum
compiled for Pro Football Weekly’s Preview 2000 magazine. ProFootballWeekly.com
asked Buchsbaum to talk about Allen.
Q: How far ahead of everyone else at his position is Allen right now?
Buchsbaum: He’s ahead of everyone at offensive guard like Jerry Rice in his prime
was ahead of everyone at wide receiver. (Allen) just has rare gifts combined with rare
intensity.
Q: Where does Allen fit in historically at his position?
Buchsbaum: He has to play more years, but he’s ahead of John Hannah as a player at
this point.
Q: So if Allen continues playing at this level, he could be the best offensive guard
ever?
Buchsbaum: Yes. |
