It might happen. Our o-line now as it is will run every defense over in the NFL [ its the best in the NFL]. So getting Allan is just adding another tank in the trenches.
LT - Gallary
LG - Sims
C - Robbins
RG - Stone
RT - Walker

LT-Gallary
LG-Allan
C-Robbins/Grove
RG-Stone
RT-Walker
I like either of them just make sure though we don't give to much up for Allan and i am willing to get him.

[Rebel]

Besides Jones and Davis are friends so if Allan wants to be a Raider and Davis wants him..it will happen.

[steelyeri]

we don't need him anymore. our O line is set.

[R41D3R5]

I'd keep switching our lineman in and out so they would be fresh, just in case we make a playoff run late in the year.

[BoJackson3434]

Pick him up this guy is awesome and will help or O line a lot

[L.A. Raiderfan]

I would love to add Allen he is a stud.

[Bleed]

He might prefer to finish up some place else, but Jerry Jones keeps on saying he's a Cowboy!

He wasn't an every down guy last year, he platooned...

or ballooned...............I remember seeing him try and come off the field. Parcells would get pissed and send him right back out there. We have enough good O Linemen. That money could be better spent replacing one of these old skill positions, take your pick.

allen would be an excellent pick up.

his play really declined last year, but if he wants to play here, is motivated and willing to take less money i wouldnt mind having him. he wont be an every snap guard, but he definatly could play 4-5 in a row then be switched out.

just having him to help teach gallery and grove would be worth it.

i think he would be inspired playing for norv again and would function well playing smashmouth. the cowboys have had some really ****ty rbs the last few years that havent done much. that with the rookie/young qb situation has made it harder for the line there. i bet even if hes not traded now, he will holdout to be traded to the raiders.

IMO, Allen will be the FIRST of many TEST CASES to come between Bill and Jerry. Lets see WHO wins the first one.....

[Mr.Murder]

We need someone who is big the trainer spends more time repairing the bench when they sit on it than he does on his regular job. We need someone whose best plays were to grab people and fall down and get no call out of respect for his previous accomplishments. We're overstocked there, he can wish in one hande and **** in the other. Sims took pay cuts and would probably thrive at gurad or on the irght side, Wlaker is a natural RT his first start there was so good Linc came back early ahead of schedule to preserve his spot as starter.

Not to diss Linc, he loves the game and the fans and the Raiders Organization, but if Walker was playing at a level that Linc felt pressure from then it's clear he needs a serious look at the start spot.

Our two starters fromt there last year get first dibs, Linc was outplaying Allen last year and he wanted one more year back to leave the sport on his terms. Norv bringing him in would equal playing favorites, we had enough of that with Gruden.

[mooseboy84]

what are you talking about. larry allen and kennedy play totally different positions. allen is a GUARD and plays the left side of the center. kennedy is a right tackle and plays the farthest right.

kennedy has said he would retire, but it has nothing do with larry allen or norv bringing him back. the whole larry allen trade rumor didnt even start until early april. if lincoln comes back or if he officaly retires will be based on how he fills. if we get larry allen i think it may actually make lincoln want to come and play 1 more season.

Would had been nice, but he is now off the trading block!
