Larry Allen "talks" to the SF press

by Dave Halprin on Apr 8, 2006 9:05 PM CDT in Dallas Cowboys News

Larry Allen held a conference call with some San Francisco writers. Once again, LA foils the press. Out of a conference call with multiple reporters, here's the Allen quotes from the San Francisco Chronicle.

"It's the perfect situation,'' he said. "My old coach is here.''
George Warhop, his offensive line coach in Dallas, was hired by Nolan last year shortly after he became the 49ers' head coach.

He gave no indication of any bitterness toward the Cowboys for setting him adrift. "I didn't see it coming,'' he said, but insisted owner Jerry Jones was "like a father to me.''

Asked about Bill Parcells, who a few years ago groused that Allen was slow to come back from an ankle injury, he said simply, "He's a good coach. His record shows that.''

That's it, that's all the quotes. I can't wait for LA's Hall Of Fame induction speech.

The RanchReport.com mock draft says: (sub. required)

18) Dallas: Chad Greenway/OLB/Iowa

Analysis: Outside linebacker is a priority and Greenway offers the toughness and instincts head coach Bill Parcells loves.

Panthers & Falcons

Hey Grizz, predicting losses to both the Falcons and Panthers? That would make my season :)

I think TO will be the number one fantasy receiver for the coming year. Ayone agree?

Pay no attention to Jaxon

He can't decide if he likes the Panthers or the Falcons so he has no NFL team. I say it again, pick a team.

had something in his blog about Larry Allen's workout the other day. He said he pounded out 10 reps of 500 pounds, then dropped it to 400 and did 10 more, then dropped it to 350 and did 10 more.

Actions speak a lot louder than words when a man can do that.

On the Chad Greenway thing, and also sticking with the strength and working out topic, I heard he could only do 16 reps of 225 at the combine. Defensive backs were doing that much, and some quarterbacks did a lot more. That makes me wonder if he has the strength and conditioning to play linebacker at the NFL level. That sounds pretty soft to me. He did seem to do well in coverage from what I have seen though.

Greenway

Something tells me Greenway is going to slide, maybe all the way out of the first round. I read reports where like Playmaker said, he's not a very strong kid and gets pushed around easily. Word is that he made a lot of ankle tackles in college and as we all know that won't cut in the NFL. He was very productive at Iowa because of their scheme and he's a real hustler. That tells me he probably would be better as an OLB in a 4-3 rather than a 3-4, so I hope the Cowboys pass on him because of those concerns. We need a real beast as a sam backer opposite Ware to stop the run.
