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

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."?

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

All he has in his tank are "the ropes."

Adding Runyon gives us how many wins?

Its not about wins its about non killed QBs

At this time of year, you've really got to lower your expectations. There's a reason a lot of these players have been cut and are still available....You're just going to have to deal with the fact that every player coming in isn't flawless.

Personally, I applaud Pioli's efforts at trying to shore up a glaring problem area in the efforts of not having our brand new mint QB in a bodybag by Week 2. It's a "quick fix", but again.....Week 1 is 5 days away.

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