Here is the part about John Runyan

Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan would prefer to avoid Eagles offensive tackle Jon Runyan (above). "He's a nasty player," Finnegan says of the 6-7, 330-pound Runyan.
Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan is regarded as a fearless player, aggressive in coverage and against the run. Ask him about a nightmare scenario, and it doesn't take him long to come up with one involving a notorious Philadelphia Eagles tandem.
"A screen with Jon Runyan with [Brian] Westbrook behind him," he said. "One-on-one with Runyan with Westbrook behind him for a touchdown. Oh my goodness. I know I am going to have to go through him if it's for a touchdown. I'm just thinking about what body part I am going to use that could be injured. Shoulder? Neck? Back? Those three things I would be highly worried about with Runyan.

"I think if you go low on Runyan, he may drop the knee somewhere. So I think you have to stay high and just let him baptize you. That's probably what I would do. You know when you go backwards and your head hits first and you wake up as if somebody baptized you or blessed you? I think that would be Runyan right there, all day, every day."
Philadelphia's Runyan, the only active player in the league who suited up for the Houston Oilers, is in his 13th season. Finnegan has played against the Eagles only once, his rookie season in 2006, and encountered Runyan just once in that game.
"He plays the game at a high level, he's a nasty player," Finnegan said of the 6-7, 330-pound Runyan. "He got his hands on me when we played Philly and he threw me about 25 yards away from the play, and the play wasn't even around me. So I just know if he got his hands on me and he was the lead blocker on a screen that it could be detrimental to my health."

Damn Cortland. Shine shoes much?

Let's get him signed. He has been a productive player in the league. I'm sure he is close to done, but if he can buy us at least a year so we can look at the OL again next offseason, I'm all for it.

Not to mention, having a veteran that has had success in the league could be good for guys like O'Calligan and Richardson.

[Reerun_KC]

Great, now we will have more holes in the line for LJ to fall over in...

[Kylo Ren]

LT - Albert, O'Callahan
RT - Runyan, Ndukwe
PS - Richardson

Now that would be pretty good.

O'Callaghan is purely a right tackle. He'll get the QB killed if you put him on the left side.

so our O line should be ok. or decent

Runyan is coming off of knee surgery, we just don't know yet. Don't forget we still have Niswanger at center.
