He's probably rated lower because he played the majority of his career at guard, while tackles are more highly regarded.
But he was dominant as a tackle when he played, and you could argue that pound for pound, there was not a better lineman in his era.

This. I think Ogden was in the early 70's on the same list. They gave much more love to tackle.

Where was John Hannah ranked on that list?
The discussion of the 3 greatest OL of alltime is meaningless if it doesnt have Allen, Munoz and Hannah on it in some order.
And 95 is way too low for Allen. He wasnt just the best OL of his day, he might have been the best player regardless of position.

There's no way Ogden was more dominant so that's bullshit.

Hey, I didn't make the list.
Typical saints fan with the Santa cap on. I have to deal with them on the road here in NW LA on a daily basis. Bunch of dumb asses who've never won anything.

Larry Allen was the most dominant offensive lineman I've ever seen. I don't care that he was a G. He played T for a year at a pro bowl level. He could play anywhere.
Still not my favorite OL here. That vote would go to Erik Williams. The nastiest SOB to ever play his position. And the fact that he was a Philly guy just made it extra sweet.

Big E was a beast. As was Allen. 1997 All-Pro in his first year at LT.

Its scary to think what might have been with an OL of Erik Williams in his prime had their been no car accident, along with Allen all those years. Williams was still pretty good when he returned, but he wasnt as dominant as he was pre-injury.
