If Larry Allen is even mildly injured, should he be benched until he is back to 100%?

No.

well...he's been beaten a few times the last few weeks..but i'm sure he's still grading out pretty well.

if it's something to where a week off would have been enough for him to get healthy..well, the boys just missed their chance this past Sunday.

How do we bench Larry when we have so many injuries to our o-line? We are at the point where even if Larry is hurt he has no choice but to play because we have no one to sub him in for.

Torrin Tucker was an adequate replacement yesterday, but then again that was against the Foreskins.

Yea, I think that had alot to do with the Skins. I think Torrin is our only sub correct? There was a time when both Flozell and Larry were hurt and even Ryan Young at one time.

an 80% Larry Allen is still better than most linemen in the game

But if you were Parcell's and you felt you could have a 100% Larry Allen in December versus Allen at 75% or less for the rest of the year, would you do it?

This means if the 'Boys did make it to the Playoffs you would have a healthier Larry Allen. what would you do?

Larry Allen hasn't been 100% in years. But if you could have a "healthier" Larry Allen by December than I agree you should sit him.

i thought Allen looked rather dominant for most of the first 5 games.... but hobbled for the past couple

Maybe Jerry Jones needs to visit Allen every game and lay his "healing hands" on him.

Totally correct. You hit the nail on the head. And the conundrum continues.

What did he really tell Larry Allen to make him get off his arse and get in the game?
