Three teams are interested in Jon Runyan
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.

Don't feel like going thru this entire thread.
What is the status of Runyan? Is he really working out for us? Cliff notes...? ![]()

Turley was forced to lose weight because he had major back injuries and there was fear that he couldn't carry a heavy weight anymore. Turley was never really that good. Even in New Orleans and St. Louis, he had a few games where he played well and quite a few where he was flat-out dominated. It's a gamble for sure. But it's not nearly the same kind of ill-advised gamble as relying on Kyle Turley. |

This is a wise move. I think Runyan's probably a broke dick dog, but if he's not, he'd be a major upgrade. We still have four OL spots that need long term solutions, but if it helps Cassel survive this year, it's worth it.

That is how I feel. This is your textbook situation for a stopgap. If he doesn't work out, we're only back where we were.

I'm not expecting much from him, but if he proves me wrong, it would be a good move. Now we wait to see if we actually sign him. |

My friend who is an Eagle fan said that Runyan was flat out awesome last year. I think it's a major upgrade regardless if he has no legs.

Is he a diehard Eagles fan or just casual? Sometimes fans dont have a clue what they are talking about so they talk up a guy with a famous name because he doesnt know any better. Runyan did allow as many sacks as McIntosh last year as far as I know.

Runyan HAS NEVER MISSED A GAME since he was a HOUSTON OILER. Think about that for a minute.
