the ULTIMATE Jon Runyan thread. (Runyan in KC for a workout...)

[MMXcalibur]

This thread is a combination of the following 3 threads...

AUSTINCHIEF- *************************************
ok, I have mentioned before that I would love to see Runyan in KC...

I decided to start my own thread about it... because... well... I can.

So, here are my reasons why...

#1 all the obvious reasons... he is a pro bowler, proven player, definite upgrade, etc etc

#2 another fairly obvious one... Ndukwe would be better used at RG and this would let him move there.

#3 now we get to the good stuff... ON THE FIELD he is a nasty, mean, dirty S.O.B.

#4 OFF THE FIELD, he is a stand up guy, nice etc...

IF he can give us 2 solid years, he is well worth the investment until we can groom someone to replace him... MOST IMPORTANTLY he sets a perfect example of what our linemen of the future should aspire to be.

Runyan is ready to roll
Posted by Mike Florio on September 8, 2009 1:33 PM ET
As the regular season approaches, a guy who has been on the field every Sunday since 1997 still doesn't have a job.

But, by all indications, he will soon.

Per a league source, tackle Jon Runyan has been cleared to play after offseason microfracture surgery to repair an injured knee.

We're told that three teams are interested in Runyan. According to the source, Runyan rejected an opportunity to sign a contract last week because he didn't want to play for the team in question.

Oakland Raiders? We're looking at you.

Given the rule that guarantees a vested veteran's salary if he's on the Week One roster, look for Runyan to do a deal after the first games are played.

But if there are multiple teams in the mix, the one that's willing to step up and sign him now could be the one to get him.

Except for the Raiders.

I imagine we're one of the three teams that are interested, but were we the one team Runyan told to "**** off."?

The biggest difference between Runyan and Sackintosh is that Runyan can still block his a$$ off when it comes to run plays. At this point in time, we have to do what we can when it comes to pass blocking. I would still take Runyan pass blocking than Sackintosh!

What is it with the Chiefs and right tackles named John?

7 sacks allowed last year.....not great...

I wonder if his ailing knee was part of the problem.....(clearly a glass half full view of things).

No, I'll be more specific next time. Appreciate the charts you posted though.

You have to consider that he played most of the season on the knee injury he needed the surgery for. It wasn't like he blew out his knee all of a sudden, it was an ongoing problem he dealt with.

But with that in mind, I don't think it should be a huge surprise if he doesn't pass his physical.

Yeah but they probably wern't the total whiff-bonecrushing-career ending type of sacks that 77 was capable of consistantly allowing.

Yep just ask Hutard or Brokie about their opinion of who they'd want, Runyan or Sack o crap!

hes other teams trash! traash!

I hope there's still some gas left in the tank, but switching out McInSOFT for Runyan would be a major feather in Pioli's cap. I hope we sign him and he kick ass and takes names.
